Title: SM465 clutch rating/any upgrades available?
Post by: yzrider on June 01, 2013, 05:49:56 PM

I tried searching the site and all over the web and came up with custom is the only option.  Does anyone know of off the shelf clutches available for a 2wd sm465?  Also what are the stock clutches good for hp/tq wise?  Looking to make 5-700hp in the dually down the line and just looking to line up the ground floor mods and start piecing it all together.

from what i have heard dont know for sure the sm465 was ment for about 456 hp. but thats just hearsay what i can say is the sm465 isnt made for fast shifting its a work tranny. it takes longer than normal to find gears. so if your looking for a racer this isnt the trans for you
