Has anyone used Marlins clutch and if so how is it? Are there better ones out there?

This is kinda offtopic but i just put a new clutch in my 88 toy and the pedal grabs right at the end. Is there a way to adjust it so it grabs in the middle of the pedal?

There is an adjustment on the pedal. Its on the rod that pushes the slave cylinder. It'll take a 12mm to loosen the jam nut and then youshould be able to adjust it by hand. It sounds like its too tight, so youd want to turn the rod so the pedal is lower to the floor.

How many inches from the ground should the pedal sit? I tryed this before and i remember the pedal wouldnt grab because it couldnt let out enouph. It grabs when it is let out all the way.

You want about 2" of free travel from the upper resting postion till the pedal gets stiff. the pedal should be about level with the brake pedal.

i wish my pedal was how it was when i bought the truck. firm all the way from the top to the floor. i blew the original slave cylinder out, replaced it and it was never the same again

bled it a million times, adjusted the freeplay etc. just put in a new slave and master(whole new tranny/clutch) and it's still kinda mushy feeling. ah well, as long as it works...

I have Marlin's clutch in my 87 Turbo. Been running it for about 12,000 miles. So far its the best clutch I have ever had in the truck. Great pedal feel and lots of grip. Also it was by far the cheapest clutch around. If it wears out I'll be getting another one.

i beg to differ on the cheap thing

i bought my daikin clutch from ebay for $60+shipping. it's even got the springs instead of those stupid pucks, we'll see how it holds up though. looks like a quality piece.

next time around i'll buy a '90s 22RE flywheel for my engine, as they used the bigger V6 style clutch.

I ran a marlin clutch on my 84, I never wheeled it but over all on the street it did great. My 80 has a marlin clutch. Me and my dad have taken that thing threw the rubicon, hammers, snow, sand, and several other places and it never failed or slipped on us. If it ever goies out, you can bet another one from marlin is going in.

i just installed Marlins super heavy duty clutch, Its overkill for sure with my 33's but I like overkill. Bought it through word of mouth, and its a japanese unit, which means its over engineered. I read somewhere that a few guys were not too impressed with centerforce, but who knows Im sure they have a good product.

fuglytruck · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 06, 2005, 09:31:27 AM »

guywithuglyyota · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 07, 2005, 12:22:47 AM »

A company called SECO the box has the name and japanese writing on it. Definately imported directly from Japan.

I have Marlin's v6 clutch in my 89. Sweet clutch, really grippy for the trails and the LA traffic. I'd definately get another one!

Anyone ever try the ceramic clutches? I heard they connect kinda weird, either on or off, no in between.
