Is the clutch the only weak link? If I upgrade to a HD clutch and pressure plate will the trans be able to handle it? Is the clutch really weak or is the pressure plate weak allowing the clutch to slip? I didn't know the manual trans trucks were detuned compared to the auto trans trucks. My '02 was auto, I guess that's why it had more power than the '12. My son has an '08 with 6.7 auto and that truck screams. Mopar65, please PM me that info. Thank you.
