Nv4500 clutch recommendations?

Had original flywheel resurfaced last year for $50 and new Luk disc and pp parts, new TO bearing and slave while I was in there. Been working great.

Oh yeah,make sure you get a new pilot bearing,they don't normally include those in the clutch kit. I prefer the old bronze bushings over the needle bearing type.

Check the price of getting yours resurfaced,it more than likely is better quality than that $70 chinese POS. Last time I had a flywheel resurfaced it cost me $35 but that was 20yrs ago.

I’ll check on a price but I live in a small town so I would likely need to travel at least an hour to find someone to resurface it.

Chuck it up in a brake lathe.

For myself and being in your situation,I would prefer to have the factory flywheel resurfaced rather than buying something from China. After tearing it all down,last thing you want is a warped flywheel.
I have the same transmission in my 93 K1500,a fully loaded Silverado ex-cab with a stump puller tranny. Someone had to special order this beast,and I'm nearing 300K miles and runs like no tomorrow.

You’re one of maybe 5 other half ton nv4500 owners I know of. Congrats brother

My '94 GMC C1500 ECSB was ordered with it, great truck, but I wanted to lower it and my normal routine of doing this with a GMT400 half ton includes raising the Y-pipe because that's one of the lowest things below the frame. On a C1500 with an NV4500, the tailshaft housing also hangs below the frame. No way to solve that without major re-engineering.. so I sold it.

I put a nv4500 in my 91 1500 ecsb in 2016. Luk clutch kit, stock replacement flywheel, master, & throw out bearing from oreillys. Everything works great even pulling the occasional load that’s more than what’s appropriate for a half ton.
