must....use....spelllcheck.....try not to......be mean.......

Factory clutch. And if thats too much, try a centerforce or allpro clutch.

 

woops my bad i was a littile excited my first post but thanks alot man

 

I'd go with a heavy duty semi-metallic Marlin Crawler... http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/tra...ion/clutch.htm

 

centerforce

 

my factory clutch has 148k and and its doin great and x2 on marlincrawler

 

mine has almost 160 158 to be exact

 

so u guys say marlin
cause centerforce is like 500 $$$$$$
or
trd almost 600????

 

Steve at Sonoransteel.com recomends the stock one.

 

subscribed, I'm in the market for a new clutch soon as well.

 

FYI Guys--when i replaced my clutch they were on back order all over the place. So plan ahead. i myself went with Downey (300$) and it seems to be doing fine (about 3k miles). Towed a car to Arkansas from Texas and it worked just fine.

Other side notes though--1. GET A GOOD TRANNY JACK thats low enough to get the tranny out from under the truck 2. The grease method for getting out the pilot bearing works the best and get a bearing driver to put the new one back in.

 

Does McLeod make stuff for Toys? I loved mine on the stang.

 

Stock or marlin-I went with marlin and have been happy.

 

how long have you had the marlin for ?

 

Go with Trail Gear's it's the same as Marlin's and way cheaper.

 

What about the TRD clutch?

 

About 10k miles I think.

 

i think im gonna choose the marlin but im also thinking of the downey clutch as well but not sure what to do yet thanks to all for your help its greatly appreciated

 

just research Marlin and his products...you CAN'T go wrong.

 

im gonna be out in the fresno area so im gonna go pick me up a marlin clutch and hopefully install it next week some time
