Ok- my gear seems to be a little off the beaten track so to speak. 1990 4runner 4x4 with a manual 5 speed conversion, trans unknown at this time. 22RE has been turbo'd with a stand alone. Current clutch is new but unknown but at this point I am assuming it is correct for the year. The truck will be tuned this month as a DD (70/30 street vs off-road) but the power should be almost double what it was blessed with in 1990 and although I don't drive like a maniac- I wonder about clutch life. Not really wanting to step up into Centerforce or the various stage XX clutches and I feel Marlin is a bit of a gouge right now- I was looking at the various oem type organic clutches that could fit with little or no machining. Assuming I use the 22RET/93-95 flywheel for 9.25in clutch/21 tooth- I was looking at Saches/Aisin/Exedy, Aisin has many application kits (CKT 036/037/038/048/049), Saches (K70062-01/03), Exedy 16069, I could step into the 22RET, or late model '95 clutches but was also looking at '90s Lexis SC300, Supra NA 3.0L, various years lots of overlap. I like the Supra as the power is similar- but what is the real difference in pressure plates? I haven't heard or looked for issues regarding the elastomer Toyota seems to use vs springs, and I see different friction disc groove patterns with the Aisin as well. Any advice welcome.

 

As far as organization, do your best to understand ahead of time what you’re going to need to complete the task. Get under there and see what you’ll need as far as wrenches, sockets, extensions, etc. for the job. I used to waste a lot of time getting up and walking back to the tool chest.
