If they shipped it seperatly I would think it say 1 of 2 on the box. I would get in touch with Southbend Monday morning to see what is up.

I ordered it and a down pipe and a boost valve all at the same time and each package ( i got the down pipe and the clutch minus the fly wheele ) had a diffrent tracking # but they only gave me one trk # it was for the clutch and about the trans oil??

Im willing to bet he sent you a upgarded "stock clutch" that still uses the stock flywheel. I have other buddies who ordered from there and got the wrong stuff!

As for oil i run regular old ATF dextron III with a bottle of lucas ATF oil!

I got the truck together tonite and put about 5 miles on it and so far i like it its a little grabby but im hoping some of that will go away with use and getting use to it also the trans is louder than before but i think thats dew to the solid flywheel i also put mobli1synthic atf 5 in it and it shifts a lot better than before i weight the clutch assemblys and the south bend clutch is 9.5lbs heaver than the stock i think it helps with clutch less shifts :D
