The title says it all -

Excuse my complete ignorance here - Toyota newb:

I am in need of a new clutch and possibly a drop in engine. Ideally Id like to find a cheap reman as I dont have the time or garage to complete a rebuild.

What kind of clutches are you guys running?

I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thx.

 

No one has any input here?

 

Clutch: Toyota or Marlin
Engine: lots of remand engines out there, I haven't used any personally so hopefully somebody else will chime in.

 

Talk to Engine Builder. You can google them. I used them for most of the parts on my 86 rebuild. They have a great reputation and are more than willing to give phone advice. You can buy a clutch/pressure plate/ pilot bearing/ throwout bearing set as a kit.

Thanks guys for taking the time to answer my question.


I guess engine options are pretty limited.

 

If you want a drop in engine its going to be bit pricey as to a rebuild will run you from $600-$1000 a clutch kit is around $100-$200 and a lot of people use marlins clutch

 

Yes, I was told an OEM was around $350

 

is that to do it yourself or have it installed?

 

I didnt ask - I was talking to the parts guy, so i assume thats just the price of the clutch. Seems awful $$ to me.

 

Thats crazy go get a clutch at your local auto store if your on a budget and there like $120 for everything. It takes a day to put it in but that beats paying up the ass in labor.

 

Check Oregon Engine Rebuilders Inc they have a nice long block with a good warrenty I belive they are like 1400 plus core and shipping.
