Make sure you get a Clutch alignment tool.
and torque em down to the correct ftlbs

fvillota · 09-14-2008, 06:58 PM

yea im almost ready to go.

TomsMR2 · 09-15-2008, 06:34 AM

get an exedy clutch. they're oem for lots of cars.. aisin is oem for toyota, but exedy is just as good and cheaper.

^ x2

Something else to consider, which would you rather have give first if you have a problem in your driveline, your clutch or your differential? You always want your clutch to slip before there can be so much tension built up that the diff can be damaged. OEM ftw, especially if you're only street driving. If it's a race car you have a completely different set of priorities and expectations.

fvillota · 09-19-2008, 11:06 PM
