the valeo clutch should help the noise some. The takeoff noise will always be there if lugging

Why do you have to use a SD x-fer case with a ZF-6? Is the output different than the standard 6-bolt pattern?

Bolt pattern is the same, just the shaft size and spline count is different.

If instead of that valeo clutch you call Ft Wayne clutch and get a 12 1/4" solid flywheel and one of their kevlar clutch kits to go with it, you will get about 9 springs in the hub of the clutch and a very smoothly engaging clutch facing. THen fill your box with synthetic 50wt atf and you will barely notice the thing is there

Well i already have my Valair clutch sitting in my room. I purchased this one right here. Im hoping it will last me. Its got 8 springs in it so we will see what happens. I was told they were good clutches.
