Manual Transmission. NO CLUE

Hello I have a 1989 Toyota Pickup with a 22re v4 2.7L engine. I was driving it the other day and going down the road you would be in gear and then it would rev up like it was in neutral but was still in gear. Finally it decided that it didn't want to be a mover. You can move through all the gears without pushing in the clutch and the stick moves just as if u had the clutch engaged.

 

sounds like you need a new clutch and the 22re displacement is 2.4L

 

Exactly what happens when clutch disc slips.

 

CLUTCH IS GONE

 

Pressure plate can't hold clutch any more because it has worn down.

Kinda like a brake worn down to the point that it doesn't work.

 

Thanks that kinda is what i was told by others but wasn't sure. And ya i messed up on the displacement not sure with i put 2.7

 

so do i need just the plate or should i replace the who clutch assembly

 

whole clutch, the disc, pressure plate,Throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and aliment tool just remember to get the flywheel turned and while you got the tranny out if your rear main is leaking fix it. Also when you put the flywheel back on put blue thread locker on the flywheel bolts and torqe to 80 ft/lbs

 

is the a throw out bearing the same as a release bearing

 

yes it's the same thing

 

ok thanks

 

I have been made a believer in this clutch / flywheel setup

Clutch: http://www.marlincrawler.com/clutch/heavy-duty/heavy-duty-clutch-kit-1200-lb

Flywheel: http://www.marlincrawler.com/clutch/flywheel

 

Pushing pedal, pushes on pressure plate which pulls clutch disc off flywheel, allowing shift without grinding.

If pressure plate couldn't pull disc off flywheel and the disc was fine, it wouldnt slip. I would just be hard to change gears, since tranny wouldn't stop spinning (or slow down).

But, agree on changing pressure plate and throwout bearing, if replacing clutch disc.
