Which Clutch
« on: March 10, 2012, 01:12:58 PM »
Which clutch kit should I get? OEM or a high performance only on trail and in the mud and water.Also 18 year old Son will be driving hunting and mudding. I also need a new flywheel pulled the starter and can see alot of chewed teeth on the gear and is it easer to just pull the engine to replace the parts? My lift kit should be here middle next week thinking now would be the time before the lift.Thanks

What are you working on?  I like petroworks my self, they have a Kevlar clutch for a Sammie for around 215.00.

I had a local clutch shop rebuild mine... maybe you have an option there?  Also he flipped my flywheel over rather than having to replace it.  I went with  4 puck and copper.  Cost me $150.00 total. It does grip very well but probably wont last as long as a factory replacement in a stock rig would. I've swapped in a 1.6 16v.

When I did have the 1.3 carb, stock clutch, and front/rear lockers... the clutch would just burn up trying to climb sand hills.  I suppose its what you have access to and what you do with the rig?  No lockers, stock engine, small tires... I would probably go OE.

The leg work of pulling the engine vs the frustrations of laying on your back getting to the tranny is worth it to me.  I personally like to leave the tranny in if i can... but I dont have a cherry picker/leveler setup either.

Another "depends" situation I guess.
