Question Time for a new clutch, Please give some opinoins.

Well, my clutch is slipping pretty badly. Started on last Friday. But, I do not know what to go with for clutch's.

I don't do much 4 wheelin, so my problem is: Should I got with a Stock yota clutch, Or go with a TRD clutch. My rig is S/C'd. Is it worth the extra 100-200$ for the TRD? to go with the S/C?

Anyone here that has gotten the TRD clutch, please let me know what you think of them and how long did they last for. What kind of wear and tear did you put on them? Or if you just got the TRD clutch for road use and not much wheelin'.

I would like the get the TRD but ive heard good and mostly bad about them. So I'm here to ask you guys, please give some opinions. I'm sticking with either stock or the trd.

Thanks,
Stevo3

TRD or dual friction, with a 10% heavier-than-stock flywheel.

That looks like one heavy duty clutch there. But the thing is i dont have the time to wait to have it shipped, let alone no shop out here will install parts that you purchase. And when it comes to clutch's, i have no idea where to start. Thats why im going to stick with the stock or trd. And then ofcoarse get rapped by the stealership. Atleast itll be under waranty.

You guys mean to tell me, none of you guys(the ones who viewed this post) have tried the trd clutch???

That all depends on your driving. also when you get your new clutch allow time for it to break in. full disk clutches require a 500 mile break-in, and highway miles don't count. The reason for this is that the full disk is transferring friction material to the flywheel whenever it gets up to operating temperature. (just like brake pads do to the rotors during break-in)
