Default Nv3500 clutch

I have a nv3500 5 speed I知 trying to find a clutch for. I only need the disc my pressure plate is fine. Anyone know of a good stage 2-3 clutch that isn稚 terribly priced? I知 gonna be pretty hard on it but not trying to spend 250-500 for a clutch

They don't make (to my knowledge because I looked) a stage 2 and above it for them
Now I wonder if a 4500 clutch would work as I believe they are the same size

I was just about to worry back and say they are the same. I know some good ones but they come as a kit and cost about $600 and up. Maybe someone else will chime in

NV4500 uses a 12" (so can the NV3500) and you can't just buy the clutch for a higher stage because the pressure plate needs to be stiffer. They get pricey. I spent $950 on a clutch kit for my Cummins. The biggest reason they are expensive is because they are sold for Cummins even though it's the same clutch as a gasser.
If you are stock no reason to go to a stage 2 or 3

I actually called jegs and the input shaft is different on the nv4500 but as of right jow the truck sits stock. But I was going to carb swap it and give it some real power. But I guess imma run a stock clutch and run her till she goes😂 I知 pretty hard on the clutch at times with mudding, burnouts etc

input shaft is only different on the Cummins which won't affect the clutch. Even Werth a carb swap you won't be putting down enough power to overpower the clutch. Now the transmission you may blow as they are weak lol.

Im doing more then a carb swap just starting there. Im looking for 600 horsepower and ill be dropping the clutch a good bit ngl i already do. Hopefully stock clutch will hold and hopefully the trans will too. Worst case ill nv4500 swap the truck.
