1993 Toyota Pickup Clutch
I just bought a 93 yota p/u and I'm not sure what the clutches in these trucks is supposed to feel like.
I'm not new to stick, but it seems that with this truck you just dump the clutch into first and you can feel it slowly engage after you've dumped the clutch. Even at highway speeds when shifting you can tell just by the sound of the motor that the clutch engages very slowly. Even if you just let your foot off the clutch all together (dump it) it will take 1-2 seconds to fully engage.
Is this normal? Aftermarket? Is this what would be considered a "spongey" clutch?

Sounds like a slipping clutch to me.
Is this a 22re?
Do you see oil on top of the bellhousing? When parked are you leaving spots of oil from the rear of the engine?

After the slow engagement, if you stomp the gas does the rpm flare? If yes, needs a clutch.
If not, have someone depress the clutch while you're underneath watching the slave cylinder moving the clutch fork. Have them dump the clutch, and see if the fork dumps back, or moves back slowly.
could be a slave, could be a hose, could be a gummy release bearing.

Another way to test for slip is to put it in 4th and drive at low speed (close to bogging the engine) then nail the gas and hold it there.
If at some point the engine starts accelerating faster than what it should be you have a slipping clutch. Then you have to figure out if it's worn out or saturated from oil.

I just put in a new clutch in my '89 4Runner. Mine had similar symptoms like you. I put the new one in and holy cow did it grab like a mad man after I had it back together. So to reiterate what everyone else said it sounds like yours is shot and you need a new one.

Thanks for the replies guys!
Sorry for the slow reply, I had to deal with a misfire (and weak spark) issue due to po replaced Toyota ignition coil with an "OEM brand" one that was DOA
Yes it's a 22RE.
Is there a way to inspect the clutch without taking the tranny out?

Not that I know of, have to drop it to inspect it. From changing mine out its a fun process to drop the tranny. Just remember wear eye pro and an N95 dust mask or better when you remove the pressure plate that clutch dust is bad ju ju and you do not want that in your lungs or eyes.
