I'll x3 on the Aisin/seco, I've had centerforce and was happy with it until I replaced it with the Aisin. Great pedel feel close to stock but its got a kung foo grip that works well when combined with my 4:88's. Not to mention the price is awesome too check out Marlins site you can get a whole kit including flywheel for a good price.

I suggest putting the money down and getting a good clutch. I have used a NAPA clutch before I got Aisin/Seco from Marlin Crawler. I got the new heavy duty clutch and it feels great and should last a long time. The napa clutch was a good price and did the job but it doesn't compare to the one I got from marlin.

hows the pedal effort on the marlin clutches? is it soft like stock or hard? is the 1200 ft lbs or the 1600 ft lbs clutch better from marlin? i know the 1600 would grab more but i still want the feel for a clutch is it just over kill?, i have been told that the higher the ft lbs the less you can feather the clutch is that true?

I have the 1200lb. The runner is my daily driver and I do take it out wheelin here in the AZ desert a few times a month and it gets the job done. If you are like me and don't do a lot of intense wheeling then yeah, the 1600lb is probably overkill.

I have the 1200 lb marlin on my truck, and it actually improved the pedal feel compared to the factory clutch. My original lasted till 120k, and I replaced it with an OEM Toyota, which lasted till 160k, when I rebuilt the trans and didn't want to pay $450 again for the OEM
