bigdawg042891@aol.com · December 18th, 2011, 09:29 PM

hey guys ive finally killed off my clutch and am looking to replace it i was hoping for some opinions i have a stage 2 was wondering if i should get another or should i move up to stage 3?

Why do you have a stage 2 might I ask?

bigdawg042891@aol.com · December 18th, 2011, 09:56 PM

it was in the car when i bought it off my mom

Mr. Red Pony · December 18th, 2011, 10:03 PM

OOOOH. Stick to a "stage one"

Use the Ram HDX or Spec Stage one. Its is all you need and it will last longer.

Do you have an adjustable cable?

bigdawg042891@aol.com · December 18th, 2011, 10:09 PM

no is that somthing i should look into? and the stage 2 lasted along time its been in for about 7 years

Mr. Red Pony · December 18th, 2011, 10:16 PM

Well one or 2 is fine. But 3 is too much clutch for you.

ok thanks and should i use an adjustable cable?

Mr. Red Pony · December 18th, 2011, 11:49 PM

You basically need and adjustable cable. I have a UPR one for sale, but I highly recommend steeda cable over any.

Agree with all the above. Stage 3 will be way too much. As said a Stage I would probably be just fine.

SPEC Stage 1 Torque Rating: 285 ft./lbs. Stock you're just over 200, so still not even close to maxing that out.

I actually run the Stage 1 with lots of other clutch/drivetrain goodies and like it. View garage for full setup.
