Default Diaphragm clutch spring?

Anyone have any experience/knowledge about a diaphragm clutch spring?

Pros? Cons?

that will fix all and any clutch issues you now have or will ever get but 6 is a bit steep

+then again I understand fixing it once and for all

Buddy of has ha installed on an S&S Pan that he built and also on a custom 75 FLH that we took apart and put back together with some mods. he really likes the set up and swears by it.

Definitely pricey though. On a side note he waited a couple of months to get it. Also it looks like J&P is going through some Chapter 13 stuff right now so I think I would call and ask about availability and time to get it.

You don't even have to try hard to beat J&P's price...best clutch ever for a shovel.

Amazon Amazon

York makes a pretty close copy..never tried one..

Sifton makes a kit to convert a regular 4 speed clutch to diaphragm...

Thanks for the input and extra info. Haven't heard anything negative about them, guess i'll put it on the wish list. Spending on the shovel is on hold during the holidays.
