I have a CF Dual Friction and I can't tell that it feels any different than stock. I have dual cases and 35" tires and have had the same CF clutch now for about 5-6 years. Just pulled the tranny for a rebuild and I am not changing the clutch it still works perfectly.

I also have the 5.15 first gear (Japanese gearset from Marlin)
Just make sure you replace the TO bearing and pilot bearing when you put in the new clutch, have the flywheel resurfaced, AND MAKE SURE YOU USE FACTORY TOYOTA PARTS for the bearings!

well iv got the centerforce throwout bearing and im plannin on gettin another pilot bearing as well. so it would be best to get a Toyota genuine pilot bearing? or just an OEM replacement from like autozone?

I will ONLY use Toyota Original bearings from now on. It has been 80,000 miles since my new Centerforce clutch and Toyota bearings and everything is working great. I also replaced the fork and spring out of sheer paranoia. Even got the "winter" spring for the fork that was listed in the manual.
There are places you skimp and places you don't. Someplace that takes a lot of labor and time to get to is no place to save 3 or 4 bucks...not to mention what the cheap part will take out when it goes.

Im pretty sure those are stock SECO/AISIN clutches......
x2 on using only toyota bearings for the job....they arent that much more expensive
Koyo for the throwout and NSK for the pilot bearing

One big issue with clutches is heat. After a long day (6 hours) of working a clutch on the trail, I noticed fade with the stock unit. I am hoping the marlin unit I bought will help this issue.

I have a dual friction and it works great..ON and OFF road.....
I like how it engages firmly unlike the stocker....its not as hard to drive as some of these guys make it out to be
