All I can say is that mine, in handling all 970cc of brut powah is superb.... I don't see how it will "knacker" the fly wheel? maybe someone else will throw some light on this quote, but its no harder than the original, there is just no springs......
I guess, it "could" put extra strain on the Fly Wheel, Gearbox, Transfer Box, Diff's, Half Shafts, Prop Shafts, wheel Bearings, Bushes, etc etc etc because mine, and I believe Steve's (V8moneypit) is either engaged or not, although I've not yet found this to be an issue, and all my zuke has had since fitment is gentle road use.
At the end of the day, if you are "doing!" your clutch quickly because of your off road adventures you wll eventually require a Fly Wheel anyway.... would it need replacing sooner because of your clutch choice?
Who knows!
go Paddle..... I didn't the first time and regretted it, the second time I did!
jims jimny:

Ive done two changes in 2006.... first time was to standard and 2nd was to a KAP supplied Paddle.......
If you have a stisfactory release bearing and preasure plate then just buy the paddle part...... I did, but the rest of my kit was only slightly used.
