New clutch

Post by Tercel Marseille »

I would like to change my clutch. What different clutch can I install ?
The original clutch is not really strong and i would like to know if another clutch exist for our tercel. Because when i ride very big rises, my clutch patinate, it does not hang enough.
Excuse me if this topic exists already but i could not find it.
Thanks.

You can get a center force clutch for your car. It is more money but a very high performance clutch.
85 4 wheel SR5 turtle with stereo, alarm, foglights, towbar for towing it, and tow hitch. Soon 4a engine, center force clutch, k&n air filter. I also have parts galore.

I think fixnfish was referring to Centerforce performance clutches. Website here http://www.centerforce.com/ There is a dealer in England, see the website.

Edit - did a bit of searching on the Internet for reviews, and some reviewers say they will never buy a Centerforce clutch again. Caveat Emptor!

Your best bet 'might' be an oem Toyota clutch - as some have said, there must be a reason that Toyotas are so durable and lasting - the oem Toyota parts Toyota uses to build Toyotas maybe?

I had good luck with an Exedy brand clutch kit. Here's a link to one with a picture of the kit: http://replacement.autopartswarehouse.c ... it&dp=true

There are several posts here with advice on changing out the clutch. Good Luck!

I bought a Borg\Warner clutch and I am happy granted I am still under 5000 miles on it

You might see about Performance 4AC clutches. I don't know if they will bolt up, but if they will, I'm sure someone makes some nice clutches.
