IMO, the one to use is Centerforce, as the RPM's increase the pressure on the disk increases. Stay away from race discs as they may chatter during engagement.

Ayuh,..... I believe the difference 'tween the 2 clutches above are, the top one is organic faced, 'n the race clutch is ceramic faced,....
That said, I agree with CJ, as back in my Truckin' days, I remember that an organic clutch can be slipped abit to get movin', while the ceramic clutches are either engaged,.... or not,.....

Thank you CJ for your response, much appreciated.
As you know, life up here in Wyoming requires a special type of attitude and I want my Jeep to be as tough as our winters are.

hey guys, I'm new here and joined specifically to get this question answered. I've recently stroked my '82 scrambler with 4:56 gears and 37' tires. I remember a few years back with a new clutch and a truck load of passengers, my clutch slipped and started to smoke. I don't want this happening again, especially with the increased torque of the 4.6.
Can you be more specific on your Centerforce clutch suggestions? My truck is mostly on the street but sees some awesome mud in Southwest, FL

@CrockodotskyI'm guessing you 4.6 is originally a 258cid 4.2L I6. I would use the organic disk and the heavy duty pressure plate. I would not use the dual friction disk as they can chatter a lot on engagement. There are kits available at several online vendors. Don't forget a new pilot and throw out bearing and get the flywheel turned for a fresh, clean surface for the disk.

I have an old center force gold clutch which is the organic clutch, works great
I
Had the dual friction on my old truck, it was organic on one side ceramic on the other, it always felt like it was engaged or not, sure was a sweet clutch for doing burnouts
