I am in need of a new clutch and I was just wondering what your reccommendations are. My truck is a '96 V6, and I am running 35's and 4.88's. I was looking at the centerforce dual friction, but wasn't sure if there was something better for the money. What about the ones Marlin sells? Thanks for any info.
Well, I have the Centerforce Dual Friction with a 2.7, 33s, and 4.88s, and it has held up fine through two very testing weekends in Moab and tons of city driving with bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Brant in Idaho has a Centerforce DF with a supercharged 6, 35s, and 4.88s (going to 5.29s or so he says). Seems to work fine for him.
Jimmy in Wyoming is running a stock clutch with a supercharged 6, 37s, and 5.29s. He seems to smoke it frequently and said he plans to replace it soon. I think he might go with a DF as well.
Other than the Centerforce DF, a heavy duty factory-type clutch would work, too. Something with a Kevlar plate but uses a factory cover.
The Marlin clutches look really good for the price, plus they include the associated bearings. I have never run one nor do I know anyone that has, so I can't speak for their quality. I have recommended the Centerforce DF based on my personal experience and friends' experiences.
Make your own judgements.
Good luck!
