    Just thought I would relate my experience on ebay with ClutchXperts. I was looking for a performance pressure plate for the 5VZFE, so I bought a 'stage 5' SPC pressure plate from them. I got it and it was too small. I looked under the sticker and saw TYC715, which is a 9.25 clutch for a supra. Not even close. So I posted pictures showing how small it was and the part number. They tried to claim it really did fit and I had a swapped engine. I sent it back but they refused a full refund, still claiming it fit this truck. I finally had to involve ebay to resolve it, and I got all my money back.

    Anyhow, they are selling SPC and CXP clutch parts on Ebay and Amazon, and I bet all of the applications are wrong for the 5VZFE. I bought a Kupp stage 3 kit and it fits from gripforceclutches.The kit was just $22 more and came with throw out bearing, pilot bearing, alignment tool and the disc. Much better deal.

    Anyhow, now yall have been warned.
