Default clutch recommendation? ?

So I'm collecting parts for the jeep, I have a 4.8 that originally had an auto, and I just got a nv3500 out of a 95 s10, and am looking for a recommendation for a good/reasonably priced clutch to hold upto the weight of the jeep, prob 3300/3500lbs, and ultimate power goal of 5/600 hp=)

I dont think you can go wrong using the Corvette LS6 clutch/flywheel/pressure plate.

Our Dual-Friction clutch would work perfect for that type of power, and still has a nice soft pedal pressure for comfortable driving!

Thanks for reply, I will look into what you have to offer, I kow your clutches are top notch, and with that I figured it wouldn't fit budget.

Great! We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. You can get into the thousands for high HP twin-disc clutches like our DYAD, but for bolt-ons and moderate power our Dual-Friction is great and very affordable.

Bog standard LS7 probably a good bet

You wouldn't happen to have a direct link to the clutch for this application?

Pretty much, assuming the NV3500 has a 26 spline input shaft. The LS7 is a nice clutch, I use it in both my GTO and Cougar. You can get the Luk (they make OEM clutches) for about $350 shipped in Amazon with the flywheel.

Hmm....I'll have have to look into that, the trans is still in the s10, I've been feverishly working on the caddy, and am just trying to stuff ordered and here for the jeep when it's time comes.
this is my first manual trans adaption to anything so new at this and any tips info is appreciated

Get back to us when you figure out the spline count on the input of the trans...There are solutions for both scenarios...

When you have the chance, please give us a call at 1(928) 771-8422. There's a few additional details we would need to know before recommending the correct part number.

Ok will do, I was looking up input shafts for the nv3500, and they all
did end up being 10 spline , but I will report back when I pull it out for conformation.

I used the stock one. Car isn't running but I have no reason to think my results will differ from everyone else who recommends it. Kit came with most everything, even pilot bearing.
