G56 Transmissions in Dodges and Rams starting mid-2005 utilize a
dual mass flywheel for driver comfort and longevity of drivetrain
components. Great in theory, but despite the G56's robust appearance,
the dual mass system doesn't hold up in severe duty situations, or
higher power production and frankly, are known to be prone to failure.
Especially with power numbers constantly growing, and 500-600 horsepower
being common for daily driven trucks, to really benefit from the
additional power, you need a drivetrain that will hold up under rough
conditions. The 1200 Series Street dual plate systems from Clutch Masters
are the perfect way to not only get all your power to the ground (up to 1100 pound feet of it), but also maintain some civility in your driving
experience.
Clutch Masters through their
experience in motorsport and clutch production, has paired a solid-hub
clutch plate with a sprung-hub plate resulting in more manageable clutch
engagement preventing a rough ride or potential damage to critical
drivetrain components. With its construction and materials, expect up to
10% lower weight, adding in quieter operation. The 1200 Series Street kit
is a larger diameter assembly, which is designed for high torque output
applications. Mated to a billet steel flywheel you also allow yourself a
modular system, so in the case of required repairs, you can piece
together what you need, instead of having another large repair bill.
The 1200 Series is a larger diameter assembly, which is designed for high torque output applications. This delivers a higher holding capacity, making it an ideal candidate for heavy towing applications. The 1200 Series Twin Disc features one sprung disc, creating a slightly smoother engagement compared to two rigid discs.
