Default Rebuilding a clutch

There's a local clutch rebuilding shop in my area. They tell me they can re-pad my Cartek clutch, and rebuid the Cartek PP when I need it done. Has anyone had any experience with having a clutch rebuilt?

My Ram 6130/402 combo is out to Ram now being rebuilt. It's about 190 to have the disk re-lined, pp resurfaced and new spring installed.

How long did your 402/6130 combo last?

Forever

I installed this clutch in 2/2002. Last year I thought that I was having a problem with it, but I just replaced the flywheel, the original stock had been re-surfaced twice. I am in the process of rebuilding the tranny now so I thought it was a good time to go ahead and have the clutch rebuilt. It had gotten to the point where it did chatter a good bit, but this disk and pp have around 45K miles on it now. It probably has around 100 passes on it also. The past two years I have been driving the car about 1200 miles a week, mostly highway.

That's the way the 402/6130 was in my C5. It was awesome, no chatter, lasted forever.

I'm thinking of just going back to the 402/6130 again when I need one with a re-surfaced stock flywheel and having the PP and flywheel zero balanced. I don't know why others don't run the 402/6130

I ran the 402/6130 combo w/re-surfaced stock PP, and when I sold the car, it had over 65K miles on it!!
