Clutch and fly wheel replacement

Howdy Y'all.

Now that my truck is at 120k miles on the factory clutch I am starting to get concerned with it failing on me and leaving me stranded. I have not noticed any slip in it yet but I am not getting engagement till maybe the last 10% of the peddle travel. I have already decided to use a new Luk LFW449 and

$185 AISIN CKT-065 OE Matched Clutch Kit - Compatible with Select Toyota T100, Tacoma

AISIN CKT-065 for the replacement parts.

What I am after is a set of procedures to follow to make sure I can have as little down time as possible. As well as the communities thoughts on my parts selection.

The truck is a 2011 AC 2.7L 5MT

 

mine lasted 230k.

 

Then you seem to be an outlier. Everyone I have asked with a 2nd gen says you are going to get about 100k with normal driving.

 

I had a shop do mine at about 155K miles. Shifts were getting a little sloppy and I had some jumping on acceleration. I have the six speed, so not sure of the differences, but I also replaced the rear main seal, throw out bearing (URD), and used a heavy fly wheel. I used an Asin kit for the clutch. Seemed fine and matched OE quality.

Some of the clutch adjustments on install didn't seem that straight forward for me, so I didn't tackle this one myself. Additionally I don't have a lift and wanted to spare my back.

There's a lot of DIY videos on the V6 6 speed on YouTube.

 

But how different is the process between the two? The one thing I have learned about Japanese cars is they are extremely easy to work on but only if you follow the procedure exactly.

 

@Thenewclarence is your truck 4x4? and do you have a shop space to work on yourself? You mechanically inclined/ever replaced a clutch before?
