Clutch Questions

Exedy Clutch around R7400.00 form Marlin 4x4 Delmas.

Clutch longevity is directly related to driving styles.

Personally, I only believe in Center Force clutches.
Only clutch that lastse behind high performance American V8`s

The choice is then clear. Buy an Isuzu.

I have owned my share of Isuzu`s. Not a bad product. Unfortunately like Nissan (I currently owns two) their dealer experience is nonexistent.
For me a brand is all about dealer support.

In Kaktu maybe, but here in the Province of Milk & Money my local. Isuzu dealership has been good....

Yeah, that's what happens when you live in Toyota Monopoly County

One other thing, I spoke to the technical expert at Exedy clutches and he advised that there are 2 size clutches plates being( if memory serves) a 16" and a 17,5".

In 2010 - 2013, Toyota were changing over to the bigger clutch plate because the smaller just couldn't handle the load.

My VIN says use the smaller clutch plate but I installed the bigger clutch plate ( plug and play with zero mods) and I believe that has made the biggest difference in clutch longevity

Maybe check what size Toyota say you should use

I still haven't bought a clutch for Fearless.
Billy, yes, I have the larger one in now.

I did order a Valeo Clutch Kit for my 2000 KB 280DT, the clutch was last replaced 16 years/144000km ago.
I paid R3750 for the clutch. When it arrived the supplier had accidentally sent a Sachs Clutch.
So I scored there!

I think they are 260mm dia. vs 275mm dia,
17.5 inches is 445mm, the clutch cant be that big.

Manny is clutching at straws.

Manny is clutching at straws.

Will that then be the last straw?

That broke the Porra's back?

On the back of that, what will he do next?

[Mad Manny]

While you two have been babbling on about Straw I've been making Hay.
Found a place called Inyathi Clutch.
Guy is getting me prices on Exedy Heavy Duty Clutches.
Stage1, Stage 2 & Stage 3.
Hopefully Cheaper than Terrain Over-Charger.

So far...

Prices:
Toyota OEM Clutch- R8 200.00 including a seal you don't need
Terrain Tamer Standard - R19 400.00
Terrain Tamer H/Duty - R26 700.00
Mintrams Spares LUK R6 600
Inyati R5 640 for a Valeo.

So if the Exedy Stage 1 comes in at a fair price, that's what I'll go for...
