NV5600 Clutch, carried from t-case and trans build

[Stanley]

So along with re building my trans and t-case it was obvious that I needed to check to clutch out for wear and all that good stuff. So I did just that today. Snapped some pics to show yall. I have never had a sintered iron or competition clutch so I hope yall have some input.

Looks like it's been beat on a little but to me still looks good, plenty of material left, unless it comes with a lot more. Is it ceramic, kinda looks like it. All the hot spots are probably from taking off in 2nd and trying to have a smother shifts, I think mine is ceramic too and a pain to slip it it just grabs. I'm sure some day I'll get to know it better lol. 

The only thing I can say is make sure pilot bearing is good, maybe put a bigger one in HD unless your clutch came with all that. How do you like dd clutch for driving around.

I've always had a dd clutch, and love them. This one was with truck when I bought it so I dont know the history on it.. I emailed valair and they said to send them more pics but they said it was a pulling or drag clutch and I dont do that anymore so I might get another one idk... need something smoother and good for pulling gooseneck around.

So valair said that it is in fact a sintered iron sled pulling clutch... whoa. 

So I'm gonna have to get another clutch...?☹?

 

Now I've had both south bend and valair but I'm stuck in which one I wanna go with.....

Was there any room for friction when taking off or did it just grab
