Good choice. I had one in my 86 4runner and loved it. I will be putting one in my 88 excab soon.

 

I also ordered the slave and master cylinders too!

 

I have about 12,000mi on my Luk Gold. Not a lick of trouble no slip good price. With 31"x12.5" tires, the tires slip but not the clutch. I don't think that my 22re can light them up, but i am going to try tomorrow.

 

Like wabbit said set up correct you don`t use the clutch all that much.

If you do any serious Rock Crawling and don`t have a automatic unless your running double cases I don`t care which clutch your running it won`t last long.Because even 1st gear low range is much to fast.

I am using The Luk Clutch in a few vehicles and trying the Aisin in one.

Then I seldom allow others to drive them so other then hydraulic issues they should last as long as I want.

 

FourwheelinVT pointed me over here and this thread is a lot of help. Going to get the Marlin for sure. My stock clutch has been through three drivers, two of which were learning how to drive stick. Now I have it and I've got 30x9.5R15's on it and the clutch chatters starting off in first gear and it slips a little doing hills. It'll be time to replace it soon.

 

I guess we all have our favorites .

It is like a bunch of women trying to decide which brand and style of anything is the best.

 

I too would look into marlin for anything drivetrain.

 

Got my clutch and cylinders (master & slave) today!

They look GREAT!!!

Very pleased with my purchase.

Can't wait to see how they drive!

 

i really think youll be surpised at how smooth and easy that clutch feels!!!good luck.

 

I hope so, I'm really looking forward to it!

 

Swimmerboy are you replacing the flywheel as well? I ordered the same clutch kit and hoping to just leave the flywheel alone. Im curious to see how it works out for you.

 

I'm gonna have the old one resurfaced.

 

If I find that my flywheel is damaged when I replace the clutch then I will probably go with a high torque one.

 

soooo,is it in yet??

 

That's what she said

 

Never heard that one before.

 

Yes it is but unfortunately the engine i purchased and installed when i installed the clutch took a crap on me so I only got to drive the truck for about 100mi. with the new clutch. But I can already say it feels very similar to stock only with more grab

Thumbs up from me!

 

Worthless knowledge here since it's not even installed yet, but i'm doing a budget lower end rebuild here and i went and picked up a cheap $80 lifetime warranty Autozone clutch kit. Everything included in that price, disc, pressure plate, pilot/ throwout bearings, even grease. It's actually a pretty nice looking repackaged valeo clutch kit. The guy behind the counter has been working there for about 6 years and has only had 1 come back. It was just plain worn out having been in a work truck for 10 years. I know it's not going to be the MC clutch, but it looks pretty good for $80 and change! Had my autozone card with me, so actually got it for 65 after tax .

 

I ordered a rte flywheel and stock clutch kit, just under 200 for those pieces, I expect only minimal grip increase with a stock feel, but then again i was running around on a burnt out stocker for a while! Hopefully will have fully rebuilt engine and new clutch in two weeks, i'll leave feedback for sure.

 

Not trying to hijack the thread but I was wondering,I talked to MC earlier about a clutch for my 87 the guy said since I am running 38.5 boggers I should get the 1600 competition clutch. He said it would work better than the HD 1600,my truck is used for mud and trails but gets driven on the street also. I was wanting to get yalls opinion on this. Thanks for any help
