Hi all, My mechanic has checked my ceramic clutch and he said it needs replacing.
What do you guys recomend to replace it with?

There are a few other threads in the forum section that have been done on this topic before.
Personally I have run both types of clutch and would not put the ceramic back in, as the type of work I did with both OKA's, I found the ceramic to be unreliable for me. Yet there are others that have a good record with them. The main advantage I have found is that when one gets bogged in sand the ceramic was either in or out of gear and the normal one you can slip which can stop the wheels from spinning and digging one in deeper.
I found that with the type of sand around Esperance and doing beach tours and the ocean work one had to do associated with that that, the ceramic clutch would weld itself to the main steel plate and the last one we destroyed we to use a chisel to remove the actual ceramic disc. Also had them ripped off and in both cases one could not change gear with the clutch, so using the rev's correctly was the only hope and that is not easy in an off-road situation.
Robin Wade in Coolgardie sells the clutches at a good price and I am sure there are places in Perth too, as well as Paul in Melbourne.
