New Valair dual disk clutch!! why I chose this over my Clutchmaster FX1200 

Less surface area on a ceramic clutch means more holding power.

Just went through this on my megacab. I got the truck from grants pass about a year ago. Had 100k on the dd organic non quiet version valair. I knew the clutch was worn, but I could bust loose 4th on dry pavement. And shift super fast. It was a badass clutch. Until Diamond K in Halsey installed a gooseneck hitch and slipped it burning it out completely. Then the nightmare started. The flywheel was smoked in hot spots, and they filled the rivet holes with friction material. It was done. They didn't do anything about it, so after pulling the clutch I decided I'm going to order another. Went with the quiet version and stayed organic. Tow rig with 4.56 and 37s. Previous owner put anti seize all over the input and it wore a groove in the snout. I didn't catch the hub retainer snout and greased everything. First drive I had a disk dragging. So I pulled it again. Cleaned the splines, and replaced the snout with Mercedes part. I got a new mopar pivot ball. Clip. Yes the washer is gone. And new hydraulics. I had bad dual phantom engagement and the trans didn't want to shift since a disk was dragging. The transmission will always be notchy driving it and ive basically parked the truck. I've ordered 3 sets of hydraulics. I killed the nss. Had to use a push button because the rod was all the way short. I even cut the rod on one set. I've never been able to get it back to what it was before. I will say it hops in reverse. And that the owner of valair is really helpful. I have a custom tool to check the travel of the fork, but the truck has been parked, and i havent had time. I've gone amsoil 50 to diamond g56, and all sorts of things to try and fix it. It's super noisy even though it's the quiet version. It was quiet for a couple days. The only time I've had it quiet was during break in.. If I adjust it right to the throwout bearing against the pressure plate. It's quiet and it works okay. After a week or so of driving it starts rattling again. I've probably knocked 10 years off my life from this. Lol. I hope you have a better experience. I too rip the truck occasionally. It's around 550ish. I got rid of my 12mm stroker 05 because I was killing parts for a tow rig. I'm glad I watched this because I was about to buy the fx1200 clutch after watching your video.

Thank you for this video. I was torn between this fx1200, but organic, and a valair dual organic quiet. You settled it for me. Looking forward to your superstick install video. I’m a driveway mechanic too. I don’t have a transmission jack, but I think I’ll try to source one before I do my clutch. Thanks again

Nice to see that your transmission is back 😬👍🏻 Man looks like those Clutchmasters wearing out pretty fast…

I have the same clutchmasters FX1200 ceramic and It sounds like a Ducatti with an open basket dry clutch.... crazy loud!!!! Changed From ATF to Delvac 50 and the noise went completely away.... until the Delvac warmed up and the noise was back. I love the clutch, fast shifting, zero slip..... but I can't take the noise. I will be going with the Valair quite organic dual disk.

That clutchmasters clutch wasn’t getting an even clamp load, as if there was slight preload on the fingers. If youre running extra washers under your pivot ball you might actually have preload from the throwout.

When the time comes to replace my clutch I plan on using the valair dual disc, bit I think im going with the organic one. I've read a ton of good reviews about them

Just a heads up ceramic clutches are not good for daily driving use. They are made for beating on the truck and “racing”. If you would have got the organic fx1200 you probably would have a different outcome.

So after a couple months how has it treated you? I just received mine today, and would like to know what to expect

Do you still like the valair clutch I'm getting ready to change my clutch in my 4th gen ram and want a good pulling clutch as I work it hard daily with about 10,000 lbs. Or more hooked on its back. I am not sure what I have now but I have been lucky enough to get the last 175 thousand miles out of it hoping to find a replacement to last that again.

Did you ever swap your short shift out for the factory one and do some driving with the factory shifter on the clutchmasters? If so did it seem make a difference for you or did you prefer one or the other
