Torque management in hardware? Now that'd be a neat trick.

I got my sheet and it says I have DDC trans with 231hd transfer case, 195mm front axle and corporate 9.25 LD rear, Anti-spin diff rear axle, 3.55 rear axle ratio. I also need to know what brand Clutch I should buy.

To the OP: A Centerforce is always a good choice, especially the Dual-Friction flavor.

Also, it would help out other's who are trying to answer your question if you put your truck's description in your signature, so it will appear below each of your posts. Click on the UserCP link at the top left of the page, and on the sidebar on the left, select Edit Signature.

My understanding is that all 96 and up auto trans trucks had it in some form or other.

Personaly, I would NOT go with the Dual Friction. I had one put in the 240sx I had. Gave it a 1000 mile break-in, double what was recommended to me. 2 months later the d@mn thing was slipping worse than the clutch I replaced. Also NO amount of adjustment would bring it to "normal". I will never buy one again.

Just my 2¢.

Apparently it wanted to be beat, starting promptly at 500 miles

I've never heard of anyone having issues with centerforce's stuff... That sucks man. Maybe it didn't like being in a non-American car...

So my 94 might be good to go then?
