So, I gotta ask this then. I have a superduty rollback with the zf5. This thing has 14,500 gvw so is it actually better to use a lucky clutch in it? From what I heard and faintly remember, the tow company I got it from went through a few transmissions until they returned to the dual mass setup. What concerns me is when the rolback is loaded and has another vehicle on the stinger, will the Lucky hold up or fail
I know that the dual mass flywheel is supposed to dampen low rpm vibrations from the engine which causes trans damage and also dampens shock to the clutch disk.
I'm also wondering about another option. There is a company called Delta Clutch aka Portland Transmission that sells a ******* dual disc clutch unit. By using 2 discs the clutch can dampen the shock of engagement, increase clamping pressure, and ease pedal effort. If one disc blows out the center then possibly the second disc can get you home. Only thing it probably won't address is the vibrations. The pictures I'm showing is of a clutch set for corvette/camaro etc. from Delta Clutch.
Also, can we successfully use the 5w30 synchromesh gear oil that is used in the nv5600 transmission found in Dodge trucks?
