I had the ceramic clutch from Marlin in my 4Runner for a few months. Mine is daily driven and I think it is too grabby for the street. I kept the higher rate springs, but put the standard friction disc back in. I am much happier with it this way. I haven't had it on the trail since I pulled the ceramic, but I think I will still be happier without the ceramic disc.
