Clutch Slipping Options

[Ruroniarc]

Alright, so I'm pretty sure my clutch is going. Here's what's happening, and I'm just wondering what parts I need in this kind of situation. And possibly about how much the parts cost, and how much work it would be to do it myself.

Alright, if I have it in like 4'th gear around 40-45MPH, and I floor the gas, my RPMs take off, and my speed stays the same. Indicating, to me at least, that the clutch it slipping. So what would I need to replace it? I don't really need a high performance clutch, just OEM replacement would be fine.

oem style clutch with plate and bearing 200
flywheel resurfacing 45 - 65
trannny seals 20- 45 bucks

fipg (10bucks) to seal oil pan.

What is the time involved? Can it be done by 1-2 people? Is it an extremely hard job? What do I need to remove to get to my clutch? (ST)

I just got done doing mines on a s54 by myself (first time)the only time I needed help was to help guide in the tranny back in. I would recommend you get at least 2 people so it can be done faster and you will have to take everything attached to the tranny apart just an idea of what you will be doing. You will want to get new gaskets for your tranny drain and refill bolts I think they're crush gaskets I've had to get new ones everytime I take my axles apart to do work on the car they leak if you reuse them. Having a car manual helps too. Its not too bad if you know your way around the car or cars lol.

Also a good video to look at in the stickies.

Clutch kit
Resurfaced flywheel or New flywheel
Drain/Refill tranny bolt gaskets
Blue Thread Sealer for flywheel bolts
Torq Wrench/rachet
Basic tools I did it with no power tools
2 jacks and 2 jack stands or a lift if you have one.
Car manual
If you want a new fork
MP grease
Trans fluid
Brake fluid for master/slave clutch cylinder

And anything else you want to change while your down their new motor mounts, axles, axel seals, etc...

Is this legit? Has anyone heard of this company / used their products?

Also, do I have to get the rest of the parts like the tranny seals / bolts / gaskets at a Toyota dealer? Thanks.

actally the oem factory clutch (which is the best u can get for longeveity reasons) is about 150 ish from 1sttoyotaparts.com


try bleading your clutch 1st if the fluid's dirty, mine randomly slips but normally grabs fine, i think its my fluid and my slave cylinder

OEM clutch is good (I'm on 221K on orig factory clutch), but it would probably be best to buy an OEM spec or stage 1 Exedy.


But if money is tight i'd stick to the factory unit. Can't go wrong there.
