Let first say I'm new to owning a yota.

I'm looking for the best clutch to run in my 85 SAS 4runner. It is my offroad toy that's driven on the road periodically so not really concerned about hwy drivability. I'm I'm Florida so it's more hill climbing than rocks. There's a little mud in the mix to. I was looking into the trail gear HD ceramic clutch. Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Florida has hills I must have missed them!!

People seem to like the Marlin Crawler clutch . All my clutches are new but I think a Marlin would be my next choice.

I have 2 LUK clutches and 1 Aisin and really can`t tell much difference.

 

There's a couple. Haha. Gotta work with what we got you know. And ok iv heard good things about marlin I'll take a look at there clutch.

Another question I have is would be better to go with the HD or would it not make much of a difference between stock an heavy duty?

 

i had a stock clutch make it through 6 years and 3 or 4 transmissions..

 

The real question is why 3-4 transmissions in 6 years!

 

It all comes down to your driving some people are really hard on clutches

Others on Transmissions it would seem!!

 

Exedy is a good brand.

 

Thanks for all the input. Anybody from Central fl here?

 

Use the Marlins, good stuff at a fair price.

 

I'm lookin at the marlins hard. Just gotta pull the trigger.

 

-one transmission was destroyed when I was using a tow dolly and the truck slipped into gear.
-replacement transmission i found was a worn out L43 side shifter 4 speed.
-replaced the L43 with another L52 5 speed.
35 year old transmissions used and abused by upteen owners over the years

 

Sounds like your pretty good at puttin trannys in. Lol.

 

marlin has a bunch of clutch choices.

they were out of hd clutches when i did mine, so i went with a stock turbo flywheel/clutch combo, which uses a slightly bigger diameter disk.

for a daily driver, you don't want ceramic, 6-puck, or a pressure plate with a heavy pedal.

 

It's not a DD just a trail rig that gets driven to an from the spot we ride every now an then. How do you like the set up?

 

can't find the receipt, but i think that i have something like this: https://www.marlincrawler.com/clutch...pgrade-package

the rig wheels at about 4300lbs, i can't detect any slippage at all, there is enough clutch so that with the detroit locker, it'll easily chirp the 37's on the street, which i never would have thought possible with a 22re :-0

tg doesn't appear to be selling flywheels, but lowrangeoffroad has a turbo flywheel for pretty cheap.
