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

i guess i am the only one running a luk pro gold?! i put that thing in probably 30k ago and man it is like a race car clutch it is super stiff but never once had 1 problem with it and i abuse the HELL out of it!!!! and my girl friend can still drive it so it is not impossible to drive on road and i have 33's and a grizzly locker and will light them both up on the asphalt no problem!

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.

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.

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
