I'm looking to take this baby off road often so I was wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with any aftermarket clutches? I want something that is gonna take the beating and that later one will also take more power or would the SACHS do?? Right now everything is stock and I'm restoring it. By the way, the Truck has been sitting for years, it only has about 75k miles, there are a lot of leaks and cracked rubber, any Idea of what are some good parts to replace old beat up ones to get it ready for off road action? Thanks in advance. :dblthumb:

Hey Bandit,
I would recommend 'Center Force' clutch set for your truck. I put one in my 84 back when I first wore it out and it took a beating and lasted up til I sold it which was about 65000 miles. Do the heavy duty one, you will be very happy with what it can o for you. (At least I was)
When I have to replace the clutch in Kathleen, I'm going to pay the extra and find one myself.
almost forgot Try this out for parts nissanpartszone.com I got it from Radracer, and there are a lot of parts for our trucks there.
Good luck
DD
