New Clutch at 206765 miles.

We just installed a new clutch yesterday. It still had plenty of life left, but decided we would do it on our terms, not when stuck. Was $950 parts/labor with a full synthetic oil change, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing and yoke. Was really surprised as were the wrenches on how much life there was left in the original clutch. They were even able to resurface the flywheel. They said it was ok without it, but I had them resurface it just to be safe.

 

They said we could of gone another 20-40k miles on it.

 

What brand did you go with?

 

I asked for a centerforce 2 and they talked me out of it saying they have allot of problems with that brand. I am thinking it is because people put them on high stress applications. Sold me a upgraded one, Power Torque was the brand. They gave me a 2 year 24k mile warranty on the entire job. $500 for labor, $350 for the part.

 

are you mostly city traffic (stop and go) or highway or combo?

 

Third owner. And my son is new to a stick shift. I can tell it was babied for the first 170k Miles from the 28 pages of service history from Toyota.

 

Really changed it just so he would not get stranded. Prob should of waited another 20k miles.

 

My 1st one went out at 250k

 

Dang. We should of waited. He was stalling it some and it’s much easier for him.

And for reference most of his friends can’t drive a manual. Getting to be a lost skill.

 

anti-theft device !!!

 

Hope you did rear main seal. ???

 

Even good driving in the city will wear a clutch much sooner then bad driving on a all highway mileage vehicle.

 

Is it all installed? Did you use an OEM pilot bushing

 

what do you think of spraying some nut-z lube on the inside clutch spring assembly, mine gets squeaky when its cold
it worked wonders on my squeaky and tight garage door so far and just curious if it might take some squeak out of the clutch pedal!

 

Id be worried about it getting on the flywheel surface.
