Heavy Duty Clutch Kit (1,800 lb)

Clutch » Heavy Duty Heavy Duty Clutch Kit (1,800 lb)

Our Heavy Duty Clutch Kits are a huge step above stock clutches, and unlike other aftermarket clutches, are designed for the Rock Crawler. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Marlin had used LuK and BorgWarner Clutches with much displeasure. Both kits seemed to loose their "new clutch" feel, and seemed to wear out sooner than stock. Marlin wanted a clutch kit that grabbed better and lasted longer, but without wearing out his legs over a long weekend trail.

What he did was gather multiple kits from various manufactures and combined components to build the best clutch kit available. Today we no longer have to combine kits as we now have them assembled from the manufacture exactly to Marlin's specifications. The end result is a clutch that offers excellent longevity, smooth pedal pressure for those long days on the trail, and a high torque rating for a sure engagement every time.


SECO Clutch Disc
  • We stand by SECO Quality
  • Designed in Japan
  • Preferred over AISIN disks because...
    • AISIN uses plastic spring retainers
    • AISIN uses single springs
  • SECO features a Robust Double-Spring Design
  • Heavy duty spring design tames heavy shocks or loads
  • Excellent heat and wear resistance
  • Circumferential grooves & nickel coated splines
  • Proudly using SECO disks for 10+ years

  • Heavy Duty 1,800 ft-lb Pressure Plate
  • 100% higher load rating than stock
  • Heavy Duty Metallic Clutch Disc
  • Japanese Release Bearing
  • Pilot Bearing
  • Alignment Tool

It's this unique combination of parts that makes the Marlin Crawler Rock Crawling Clutch Kit stand out from the rest!

This Heavy Duty kit features a 1,800 ft-lb pressure plate, which has a higher clamping force than the stock V6 clutch, which is rated 1,200 ft-lb.
