im in need of a new clutch and i was looking at the centerforce stage 2 and the dual friction set. i was seeing if anybody has had experience with either and what might work best for wheelin and which one might last longer. the type of wheelin i do is mostly mud and trails. i know the stage 2 grabs %60 more than stock and the dual friction grabs %90. im almost thinking i might want some slip when im out in the techinical stuff.

 

All i can say is the Marlin Crawler HD Clutch Kit is the bomb!

 

anybody happend to have expierince with both? what kind of wheelin do you do with the marlin? and how long have you used it and stuff? they are a little cheaper but appear to be a good clutch.

 

yea the centerforce exploded in my ride and made for a difficult ride home(this was in the 95 v6 though)....I have the marlin clutch and love it...I am not sure what is in my 83 but its starting to slip and i am jst gonna go marlin with out even thinking about it...Great stuff

 

I agree. Marlin HD ceramic clutch all the way!

I'm gonna order the marlin once mine goes I think I've only heard good things about it.

 

i couldnt find 1 bad review on the centerforce but i think you guys got me sold on the marlin

 

I actually found a lot of bad "reviews" about centerforce when I was looking into a new clutch. Can't remember where I saw them, but it was on sites like this one. Lots of bad stuff, with some people chiming in with "well I never had a problem with mine not sure what you guys are talking about" kind of stuff, so...I ended up going with a LUK, which had a ton of good reviews, but now, looking at the small price difference, I wish I had gone with a Marlin. I figured since I don't do hardcore offroading I didn't need something like that, but really, why net get the strongest clutch you can? Next time...

 

well im glad i said something on here before i did go out and buy the centerforce.
