I put one in my 75s cruiser.

Previously i had a HD safari and didn't really like it.

Compared, the 4terrain is quite heavy but is much smoother. No shuddering and it can be slipped quite a bit.

Ive got one in my 80 and have given it a bit
of a hard time (mainly winching and driving)

Ive had no troubles at all, Its as light as the original
clutch but heaps smoother, no fade etc etc etc.

Have one behind the 5.7 stroker and it is excellent offroad...more clamp than the safari but a far lighter pedal with better feel. They also have better heat absorption qualities.

We organised sponsorship for one of the winch guys in Vic and he loves it and Fester's 80 is getting one this week in Qld.

The segmented half is a brilliant idea and makes it a bonus for wheeling.

clutch

Post by busman »

Hi,

I recently fitted a safari tuff clutch which shuddered horribly. Was told that the fault was with my car because it was modified with susp./bodylift/diff.locks etc. I was also told that these clutches never shudder and that they would not help solve the problem. A lower spec. exedy clutch plate only was fitted and no more shudder but no reimbursement for the cheaper clutch or g/box in and out 3 times at mechanics. The old clutch was a valeo which was worn out but never shuddered(flywheel was machined and no expense spared on replacing seals unis etc.). I haven't used a 4terrain clutch but will be trying one when this one fails due to the zero back up service. I have driven a couple of cars with the 4terrain clutch and feels very good and the owners are happy.

My 2c. and rant over

Cheers

Just screwed our 4 terrain at the OBC.. Now looking for something stronger.
For average Joe 4 terrain is great!

best bet for OBC or similar conditions is run an air fed to the bell housing only need a few psi to hold positive preasure to keep water out, other choise is full button clutch from Nicks performance clutches or Direct clutches, downfall with these is they are on or off n chew the flywheel up
