Changing Clutch /Shortcuts/Tips 2000 Tacoma
Ok This is my First Time Changing a Clutch in this Truck!!
My normal Fare is the 86/88 Vehicles This truck while having all the same parts is for the most is completely different.
I have done several of the earlier ones and find them quite easy.
Upon looking at the Tacoma Do I need to remove the steering rack and sway bar?? I have tried searching and found many threads on what clutch to get
It was all I could do to get my hand into remove the battery cable from the starter.
The rear crossmember and the shifters are pretty similar.
Any tricks or way you do something Yes I have a Copy of the FSM but only does the electrical manual been of any help.
I just think it is getting one done it won`t be so bad next time.

shouldnt have to remove the steering or swaybar. May have to disconnect the passenger side exhaust from the header though. ratchet straps do come in very handy, as well as a transmission jack.

Well it is pretty much a moot point !!
I manged to pull the truck off the jack stands 6 ton ones under the frame rails. Never before in 30 plus years has something like this happened.
Using a 3/8" ratchet to try and break a starter bolt loose
All I can say is it was a good thing my chest stopped the truck from hitting the floor quite so hard.
Still not real sure how I got out.

A. Don't remove the exhaust like the FSM says. No need to.
B. Remove the sway bar, no need to pull the rack.
Other then that, its a normal clutch job and isn't fundamentally different from an oldschool Toyota.
You do have the FSM right?
