Clutch Reccomendations?

[cosmo4r]

So my clutch is nearing the end of its life (grabs practically at the top of pedal stroke, very little usable travel).

Marlin HD clutch sounded exactly like what I wanted, but seems they are no longer available.

I think I would be happy with a OEM type replacement, but I wouldn't mind something that grabs a little better as long as it's not terribly stiff.

I've heard good things about these:

LUK 16087 RepSet®

AISIN CKT040

But also curious if the M-Pact clutches are any good? They have a stage 1 clutch which appears to be slightly stronger.

I've been running the Aisin CKT040 for several years now and it grabs good and not stiff at all. I don't really like the fact that the Aisin uses plastic spring retainers on the clutch plate. For this reason, I would probably go with the LUK if I did it again. I've never heard of anyone having a problem with the plastic retainers though and I'm probably just being paranoid.

Just get Aisin, they made the transmission. I've heard Luk is good too, but I wouldn't buy it while I can buy Aisin, nothing against them. Nobody seems to like M-pact, I'd consider Sachs over them

I looked into Luk, they seem like European Aisin and I cant find anyone saying anything bad about them. So I'd go with them if it saves money.

Id call Marlin Crawler and see if they can get you one. Sometimes they have stuff in store that's not on the site. Those clutches are great, they need to bring them back. If that's not an option, Aisin

I'm getting the Aisin when I start mine in a few weeks. I don't know why I would need anything special or fancy, so I probably don't.
