    I no longer have the truck I installed the LCE Clutch in. I traded it in back in June of 2014 w/ around 70k miles (I had installed the LCE around 48k) and it was still fine. I ended up selling my old one to a good ole boy and he kept it for just over a year and traded it back in w/ 104k and the clutch was still perfect. I then sold the truck again and he will be servicing it here, so I will get to see it and check up on my ole baby lol. My 2014 V6 Taco is also a Manual and I will be replacing the stock clutch w/ an LCE near the end of the year, which will be around 40k. I drive 30k per year.

    Just curious, for those that replaced the clutch, did you guys need any adjustments to the clutch pedal? There should be some freeplay and if the clutch is catching a lot sooner, it may be because the clutch pedal freeplay was not adjusted properly. This could cause extra wear on the throwout bearing and it could be the cause of that noise you guys are describing...

    Anyone still around with the LCE? How long did it last? A love forever? Or an affair gone sour?

    I'm still running the Dual Comp kit from them. Had it on there almost 2yr to the day.
    I had initially gone to this clutch because as soon as I went turbo, the stock one slipped immediately under boost.
    I've got about 40k on the LCE clutch and I'm extremely happy with it.

    I'm running the LCE pro clutch. It handles 35s so far. I wanted a clutch I could slip and wasn't an on/off switch, so far I'm happy with it. The chirping some are hearing is the throw out bearing, grease that mofo.
