Napa clutch kit

Has anyone had any issues woth a napa clutch kit? Oem is 40% more and i doubt its worth it

 

Does this still hold true?

 

Since NAPA is in a head to head competition with Advanced Auto and Auto Zone they have introduced a lower cost line of parts . MY NAPA all 3 stores are within sight of each other.

Just be aware of what your buying.

The use of your clutch will always effect things .

 

Look, I don’t know where y’all keep finding these Napa stores, but they just don’t seem to be around here. I found one once upon a time in a faraway land, known by some as the boondocks. Lo and behold, that lone establishment held a rare treasure unmatched by all other self-proclaimed parts stores, a set of big gauge jumper cables. I bet I could jump start a space shuttle with those things.

 

Thats wild, my small ass island has 5 napas.

Also just get the aisin clutch from Amazon.

 

I agree. The AISIN clutch kit from Amazon I put in my '97 V6 Taco last summer has been working great after approx. 100 days off-road in deep mud/high water.

 

I have 5 Napa Locations within 20 miles ..

Looks to be 12 stores around the Columbia Area .

I am guessing your no where close.

 

I would go OEM personally, all bearings included. I had a Chinese pilot bearing seize up and it almost cost me a $700 trans input shaft (just the parts doesn't include the time cost for me to swap it). Some times going cheap can be the most expensive route.

 

Yeah where I am we have autozone and advance auto paired together every five miles

 

I would go OEM too. I just put in Asin (OEM) clutch kit and rear main seal in from Yotashop.com. Did it while I was having the transmission rebuilt. Everything was open so its easy. Seems half of the problem posts on TW start with "I couldnt afford OEM so I went to Rockauto..."

 

Go oem!
You might safe a few dollars now but
Will cost you when the clutch bearing or pilot bearing fails a few years later,,
This happened to me!
Both bearings failed at the same time.
