Clutch recomendations

My clutch is about done after 190k i cant really complain but i was wondering if i could get some imput from you guys out there with what clutch to buy maybe even a flywheel its a 96 tacoma 2.7litre

 

I'm always impressed with how many miles guys are getting out of these first gen clutches, I've only got 30k on mine right now so I guess I have a long time to go lol. My last car (Scion tC) had the clutch go out at 90k.

I've heard good things about the URD clutches/flywheels. Might even be a good idea to replace the throwout bearing as well while you're in there.

Appreciate the reply i am going to change everything while im there im leaning towards centerforce dual friction clutch was wondering if people have ran these before i dnt want stock because sometime in future im buying another block and going to slowly build it up until mine takes a crap which could be awhile or when im finished building the bew block ill swap it in. I also haul alot and use this truck in the rocks and trails

 

just get your flywheel resurfaced. 45 bucks tops. most likely OE

 

I'd go back with the brand you're removing seeing you got 190k out of it. Luk is a good brand.

 

Marlin crawler sell a hd clutch i would consider... x2 on the flywheel resurface.

 

I vote for the marlin crawler too! They offer 2 different options aswell!

 

Thanks for the responses im leaninf towards oem now im worried those center force clutches will be to chattery from a stop and i think ima just put a new flywheel on i jus dnt know if i should put a weighted one on or keep stock

 

I have 206k on my original clutch. Time to start thinking about replacing it.

I always think to myself - I've gotten 206k on this one, why go with anything else but OEM?

 

Same thoughts here. I don't need to replace mine yet, but when I do, I'll probably go with OEM. I plan on only replacing my clutch once unless my truck lasts absurdly long.

 

Ya that true the oem clutch is an exedy clutch

 

Why weighted? I am sure it would smooth the motor out, but it would weaken throttle response. .

 

Ya i was thinkin the same think but the weighted flywheels give a little more low end torque

 

Rockauto has good prices on clutches including aisin which toyota uses alot for oem stuff. I went with a luk kit and new luk flywheel when I did mine a year ago and so far so good. I see no point in putting a $3-400 "performance" clutch behind these low power motors, when I've had $100 part store clutches hold up fine behind 350 hp v8s.

 

I ended going with oem exedy clutch 60 dollars more then the luk but ive heard people cant stand them around here i paid 390$ for clutch kit and flywheel which isnt to bad exspecially if it goes another 190k lol

 

Nice...let us know how it goes. You installing it yourself?

 

Ya i already did i started right after my last post lol. It is really smooth hooks up nicely tranny shift like butter im 100% satisfied

 

When you were researching what clutch you were going to install, did you happen to come across the stock pressure plate clamping force?

 

No i did not i just bought another oe quality exedy clutch original was an aisin if that helps at all i dnt no the clamping force

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking for something new as well. The old stock clutch is slipping now with the turbo set up. I've read of people using an Aisin Pressure Plate for a 5vz mated with a disk for the 3rz and it being able to hold about 350 ft lbs. I can't find any sure data on this, though, just theoretical calculations. So I'm thinking about using an ACT Plate for a 5vz.
