-

-

-

Petroworks

Do you have any gearing? If not, start there before upgrading the clutch.
-
no gearing yet,, but i need a clutch pretty bad,, if i do any gearing just goining to get GRSII tcase
-
Unless you plan on higher rpm driving I would not consider the Centerforce clutchs, I would opt for the Petroworks or Exedy stage1.
-
A stock clutch should work fine with 31s and a geared tcase. Otherwise, you need go with one that will allow you to slip it without it burning up.
-
Yes, the Centerforce clutch is either on or off. I would not recommend it.
As Sky stated, if you get gearing, then a stock clutch will do just fine. In one of my rigs I have 32" tires, a 6.5 case, 16-valve 1600, and the stock replacement clutch from Advance Auto. I've never had any problems with the clutch even after 7 years of use.

thanks guys lots of help.. someone told me that i should buy a stock clutch cuz they come with a lifetime warranty and u can just keep replaceing it for free...

They have a lifetime warranty against defects, not against wear....
Another factor to consider is the use of heavy strong pressure plates will play hell with the clutch cable.

Did clutch on my 1.6L 8v 90 tracker. Got 1.5 years on it now, no issues. It's geared down to about 80:1 low now, and from what I hear from others and my own experience it appears to be holding up well.
A new 16v Sachs clutch KIT came with the clutch disc, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate, and it ran me a bit over $150. It's a OEM replacement but was listed as "heavy duty" and from what it looked like, that was the difference between the 8v and 16v kits. BOTH ENGINES USE THE SAME FLYWHEEL. I had NO problem installing a 16v clutch kit in my 8v-equipped Tracker.
Also resurfaced the flywheel while I was in that far.
Also replaced rear main seal while I was in there...option to consider. Cheap insurance; depends on your mileage and if it's been done before.

The difference between the 1.6 8V and 16V clutches is the diameter. The 8V uses a 7.9" and the 16V uses an 8.5". Either size will work with either engine, since the flywheels themselves are the same.
Resurfacing the flywheels is a must, when putting in a new clutch, IMO.
Replacing the rear main is always a good idea too.
