Marlin's duh, call him and ask him he will give you all the info you could ever want and more about why to not run centerorce.

centerforce is way over-rated, I put in marlins 1600 or super heavy duty about a month ago and once I got it dialed in-it's sweet

I have a Center Force dual friction in my Toy. I put it in about 10 years ago and it's still looking good. I've only got maybe 5k miles on it in 10 years, bit all those mile have been off roading. I smoked it often when I first got it cuz I was running a stock case and 4.88's with 35's. When I pulled the tranny and t-case to add the dual case and adaptor this spring the clutch still looked fine. Now that Marlin has the HD clutch out I would probably go that route though. When I got my center force he wasn't selling clutches

I've had Marlin's SHD for close to a year now with many road miles and a bunch of wheelin' trips. It holds great and it blows you away the first time you step on the clutch pedal as to how much stiffer it is.

yea mine feels about the same as the Mack i drive at work , so that should tell you how tough a clutch it is

Is the SHD worth it, or does it get tiring because it's so stiff?

You know Marlin will stand behind his products , will centerforce ?

I replaced my worn out Centerforce with Marlin's HD Turbo clutch. I works GREAT! Pedal feel is very good, not heavy at all but enough to feel when it starts to grab. It also has a lot of grab. Plus you can't be the price.

I love it and would recommend it to anyone needing a clutch for a Yota.

i currently have 26000 miles on my marlin 1200, commuting 100 miles a day, stop and go in Little Rock rush hour construction traffic,, moved my 26 foot travel trailer ,mud running, crawling around the hills close to hotsprings, dragging cedar trees out to the road from my "back yard" a 12 inch diam. cedar tree aint light! and my clutch still grabs at about 2 inches from the floor, when i get a chance i'll buy one for my celica and make that mustang down the street wet the bed, with the LCE stage 3 20/22 engine, 5spd, and 4 link rear and 8 inch wide supra wheels , its one fast little 25 year old dragon

I replaced a Downey HD clutch during my first motor rebuild with a cheap arse Krapzone one lasted about a year. (I figured what the heck im in there already) I went back to the Downey clutch and am very happy. (5 years now and have ran several technical trails without a crawler gear. I do have a dual case now though much safer less damage.)

Prices are on the web site.
