you can make ceramics engage smooth, trust me, but if you dont know how to drive with stiff clutches it'll take a while to not make it so jumpy!! i'd like to know if dirtchicken has ever actually USED and ABUSED one of these badboys!! Seriously....
just fyi, the marlin NON ceramic clutch is no where near a stock clutch, a stock clutch has around 800psi clamp pressure, marlins are either 1200 or 1600
i have the "conventional" 1200 lb clutch drives smooth but i can easily spin the tires befor it slips when fully engaged
i have also driven pickups with ceramics and Marlins Buggy , they are either on or off, great for a buggy sucks very much bad if your trying to tow a small trailer with your daily driver
the Peterbilt i drove on my last job had a ceramic and it sucked, and for 14 years i drove rigs from coast to coast, in a Kenworth i had , the 18 spd gave me enough options the ceramic clutch was great,
besides the 600hp Detroit deisel,
in other trucks not so good
like the Peterbilt i drove last, it was geared too high for Logging and it had a ceramic, basically i had to always take off out of the woods in lo because if the tires didnt spin it would kill the 3406 caterpillar , or lift the front tires off the ground,
it just depends on what your driving, but i promise you , if its in a daily driver you wont like a ceramic clutch, BUT you CAN have a Heavy duty clutch get the 1200 or 1600 Marlin "conventional" clutch
