My Gen 4 clutch throw a few problems last year, it felt like it was sticking and eventually went back to the garage.
They had the car all day and ran every test they could including quite a few miles and couldn't find anything wrong.
I have heard that the stock clutch can be a little weak so if mine needs doing and it's not covered on the warranty I would rather an uprated clutch is fitted, so would be very interested if you get a LOF fitted and what you think.

We had one Gen4 from Sweden with bigger tyres burning his stock clutch on the Norwegian meet two years back.
Owner took a plane back to Stockholm to fetch his other car and a trailer to get the Jimny back to Sweden.
My Gen3 has now the centerforce 1.3 clutch (an SJ413 clutch but still fit fine without the sentrifugal wheights) but with a m16 engine and 235 tyres and otherwise the original gears, the clutch is smelly when driving uphill or with more pedal. Does not smell when the low gear transfer is in it.
A better clutch is a must when doing bigger tyres or having more engine power.
Will look into this for my next clutch change, and other peoples experiences is much appreciated.
