"Buying a Clutch from Toyota"

Hey Everybody,

Is the clutch kit that you purchase from a Toyota dealer the same thing as an Aisin clutch kit that can be purchased off the Internet? After the doing a little research, I think Toyota is just taking an Aisin clutch kit, and repackaging it.

Please give me your feedback on this idea of mine. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Take care,
Paul

 

The only way to know for sure is to have both and inspect them real close.

Are the built to the same standards who knows ?

I would venture Aisin Aftermarket will not be the same as the original clutch in the vehicle .

I know in things I deal with from the End Manufacture of the complete product I can not buy the same part going to the vendor .
