Just a quick question. I wanted to put a Barnett Kevlar clutch on my 88 while we're doing all this work, but my mechanic of 11 years insists that I want a factory Suzkuki clutch. Of course, that's what he put in it. Why would he want this? I hope it was for a good reason, cause it wasn't cheap. Any ideas? Jeff?

stock suzuki clutches are excellent, you can't go wrong with them (although they're a bit pricey). i haven't had good experiences with barnett clutches, although other people have.

I don't know why I always have to hear someone else say it before I will believe. He had said that the Barnett's were a bit too grabby and that finding neutral can sometimes be a bitch. Thanks. images/icons/grin.gif

yep, too grabby and the discs drag a little making it difficult to find neutral at a stop - exactly my experience with them. images/icons/grin.gif

I will have to 2nd Jeff's opinion. I have tried a Barnett in my '86 and I only used it for 2 months. I thought I was upgrading my clutch, but after 2 months I downgraded it back to a factory clutch and it worked much better.
Good Luck!

I just used the stockers with stiffer springs. Never had a problem with that set up.
