Just ordered Marlin Crawler 1200 pound clutch kit. heavy duty no stage two or anything.

What's included in the kit? If the fly wheel has never been done and it looks worn then get it done.

what about if the flywheel has small cracks in it? I think superbleeder had small cracks so he ended up just buying a new one. However i've read that those a easy to machine out.

Ha okay well a stock throw out bearing should be okay and i forgot what all it comes with I got rush shipping so I'll let you know

theAuthority

Well if you read the website, right above where it said 'purchase' ...

All kits feature new parts. Each Kit Includes:

Heavy Duty 1,200 ft-lb Pressure Plate
Heavy Duty Metallic Clutch Disk
Japanese Release Bearing <--- throwout bearing
Pilot Bearing
Alignment Tool

I would have ordered the heavy duty pressure plate bolts .. extra $9 ...

also buy a BRAND NEW FLYWHEEL, don't waste time resurfacing and risk them not doing it right.

I purchased from Smucks for $60. works perfectly so far. Makes me feel better than a resurfaced one.

ha ya ill buy a new one srry i spaced it lol and smucks isnt too bad lol i get my clutch friday as well as payed going up to drop my tranny and my oil pan to reseal it becuase i had problems with a oil leak not sure where from but i remember i messed up on something cant remember what so im going to fix it lol

when I did my clutch I replaced my front seal on the tranny. I didn't seperate it from the transfercase so didn't have to worry about leaks from there.

When I replaced my clutch I got new flywheel bolts from toyota, I know it was probably over kill but I dont want to have to drop the tranny again. It was like $1.85 a bolt. I wouldnt really get those HD pressure plate bolts since they are only being torqued down to like 25ft lbs

Get the flywheel machined and if they cant take out the cracks, get a new one. Its thee most important step in a clutch job.

I reaplced my rear main seal too.

So clutch is out trany is dropped so just waiting for parts and I am getting bolts and just resurfaced

Make sure the flywheel is resurfaced with the proper step in it

If your rear main seal looks old and cracked, change it.
