My truck was due for a clutch change because I was having trouble in putting the truck in 1st or reverse gear.I chose a Trail Gear 1600lb pressure plate and 6 puck ceramic clutch because it just came out so I wanted to try something different.I chose to remove the whole engine from the trans with a crane lift.I also had to do a lot of engine cleaning ,resealing of the oil pan and installing a 20r metal chain guide.
I came upon a timing problem with the crank being installed wrong but was able to start but I notice no top end speed.The transmission had a lot of oil around the bell housing due to a broken input seal.Everything went well and then the fan clutch was bad by making a rattling sound.I found the problem by removing the alternator and power steering belt.
The TG clutch performs pretty good.It grabs very well on the highway.The pedal pressure isnt hard for the leg & it feels like a stock pressure plate.On a quick acceleration the clutch really hooks up well with the flywheel.I will need to break in the clutch before I hit the sand.
My flywheel was $45 at Checkers with a exchange of my used one.My truck has 33's w/BJ spacers,rear shackle and 1" RB body lift.I have 4:88 gears and now the truck runs pretty good in comparison to my other Toyota trucks Ive owned.My motor has a Supra AFM with 22re circuit board installed,LCE later type Throttle bore,DT headers w/Flowmaster super 40 muffler.I will later install a cam but I like my set up for the engine.

I have my Engbldr Street RV head and 270 Cam on the side to be bolted on later.That would really increase the HP's and torque.Ive owned a 3TC hemi & dual 44 mikunis on a 72 corolla coupe with the old TRD clutch hooking it up and that clocked about high 14's on the drag strip.But for as my truck,its just a truck for reliability .I know for sure I wouldnt be able to beat a V-8 Tundra or Underdog souped up Tacomas on 0 to 60.But my gas mileage is about 19 worst to 22 mpg. On 1st gear the clutch engagement really grabs and take off well & on the open highway, I opened the throttle to about 80 and have to slow down in Hawaii because we dont have a freeway or open country roads here.My other 4x4 truck has a Clutchmaster 1 and the pedal pressure is harder than any truck clutch Ive owned but no 6 puck disc.
