Trying to order a marlin clutch?

I am looking through marlin's website and cannot find an application for my truck? I have a 1995 Pickup 4x4. I would like to put the HD clutch in it, but all I see is apps for the hilux and tacoma?

Maybe I just need to call them!

Is anyone here running a HD clutch, specifically the 1800# clutch?

Other than being more "heavy duty", what changes are there to the driving characteristics? Stiffer clutch pedal? Less stalls at low idle? Same smooth shifts?

I would just call them. Their new website is still missing some stuff. I am not personally running that clutch but from what I've heard you probably only want that clutch in a dedicated trail rig. Its not very fun for daily driving.

I installed an HD Dual Composite clutch in my 87 4Runner, and it was a PITA to drive on the street. The clutch is VERY stiff. It works perfect for offroad situations though, once it grabs it GRABS and doesn't let go. A great upgrade for trail only rigs, but if you plan on driving it on the street I would not suggest it.

Don't get the ceramic clutch.

Get their HD semi-metalic clutch (1200ftlb). Its the same oem clutch as toyota uses, but with higher clamping force. I recomend this clutch to anyone!
Its just about as soft as stock (took me 2 days to get used to it) and clamps HARD when you want it.

I DD this truck (my only vehicle) and bumper to bumper stop and go traffic is no prob. Toyotas have soft clutch pedals...

You will love it! Ask anyone with it I think I have talked like 5-6 people into getting one

Marlin should pay me comission!
