    So on my new truck the throwout bearing is bad and I am going to replace it soon. Since the truck has 149K and I have no evidence provided of a clutch replacement, I think I will do one as well while I have the transmission pulled.

    Thinking of a Centerforce Stage 1 because I've heard good things about Centerforce, but I don't know of anybody that has one in a Tacoma. OEM is also always a good bet too.

    What clutch would you guys recommend I use as a replacement?

    Which is OEM for Toyota, Aisin or Sachs or what?
    RockAuto has both of those, plus others.
