    Well it finally happened. The clutch in my 05 Taco is on it's way out the door, with the synchronizers in 1st and 3rd gear goin, as well as the throw out bearing. At 140k, I see No reason to leave the old clutch in if I'm going to have to drop the tranny anyway. I'm sure this has come up numerous times, but I'm looking for suggestions on whether to back to OEM or pick up an aftermarket. Truck is a bone stock daily driver, mostly highway with some towing and off roading.

    this is my thought process.... since your not really pushing your truck too much more than the average driver. and..... since your OEM clutch lasted 140k...... why not stick with what you know works?

    I don't really like the way the OEM clutch drives. Feels too much like a car haha. I have found a Centerforce dual friction with 10 in plate for 385, and a Centerforce stage 1 for 318. Should I also go a step up with my slave/master cylinders and pilot/throwout bearings?

    I wouldn't change the hydraulics if it were me. and IMO a bearing is bearing
