hi crew ,on a long awaited trip to
cape york, towing a 4.4 tinnie on a large heavy trailer, the ute is loaded up . the ute is 2008 bt50 daul cab, it now has a bad clutch problem ,after getting bogged in sand a couple of times. i have been to the out back mechanic
shop (only place) he has ordered me a single mesh clutch assy kit. the motor in my ute is a 16 valve dohc 3lt diesel & has a daul mesh clutch assy as standard that has failed. mechanic tells me the single mesh clutch will be the better clutch for towing ? has anyone got any info on my problem. cheers

Bad luck about the clutch but you are having it replaced by the best option.
I had
mine changed, before failure, about 5 weeks ago and having been towing around 2 tonne since. It is so much better without shudder and slip.
I have also added a switch to disconnect the front wheels when engaging low range to reverse. That helps a lot, too.
Check the Internet for info on fitting it on either the Mazda or
Ranger site where you can also locate how to disconnect the annoying beeping sound from leaving the key in the ignition with the door open.
Good luck
