    I am thinking of putting a marlin crawler clutch in my truck and I was wondering how much firmer this clutch catches. I am getting the flywheel resurfaced and I am wondering if the clutch is going to be harder on it than a stock one? Does this clutch just grab or can you ride it some?

    I have a mustang and know all about heavy stiff clutches and most of them don't allow you to ride the clutch it just wants to grab and go and causes the vehicle to jump when taking off. Is this common with this clutch?

    Looks like the Marlin clutch is in stock on their website. I have a 2.7 4x4. Are the out of stock ones for a v6?

    As far as I can tell, it grabs fine. The pedal action is easier than stock. It engages much easier than the Centerforce that I had in my Heep.
