Looking to hear from the Getrag 238 manual owners. I’ve got an ‘07 TRX4 V6 4x4. 185,000 miles on the clock now and about to purchase a complete clutch kit including flywheel and hydraulics. I can’t believe I got this many miles out of the factory clutch.

Question is, Rock Auto lists 2 clutch kits. The factory size kit was an 11” diameter clutch disc. This kit is about $349. They also list one that has a 12” disc they say can replace the factory 11” one. It is $399. Is the extra $50 worth it? Anybody bought the 12” one? Anything I need to tell my shop guy before I drop of the kit for install?

Im thinking about going with the 12” one. Seems like more surface area = better. While in there I’ll have them do pilot hearing and release bearing plus rear main seal.

Any advice or tips greatly appreciated.

 

For 50 bucks, I think I would go with the 12". Considering the wear you got out of the original 11", I would expect that the 12" would last longer than the rest of the truck. Get a GOOD quality clutch though.
