Hi all,
I will be doing some serious towing shortly with my 2001 4.5L Petrol 100 Series Landcruiser. Beside chewing a lot of petrol, I am thinking a clutch upgrade may be advisable.
The trailer I am towing will be at the maximum of the cruisers capacity (3.5T) and the original clutch has done 130,000km including allsorted towing to 2T plus a heap of offroad work.
Whilst the existing clutch seems fine, I'd hate to get halfway on my journey to have it fail. So I think prevention is better than the cure in this case.
Thus can anybody recommend a good replacement clutch (with good drivability) and an approximate install cost?
Also anybody you would recommend to do the job?
thanks heaps
Garry

Hi Garry,
I just replaced the clutch in my 99 GXL (aftermarket turbo), with a 4terrain heavy duty clutch, the clutch itself cost $800, $75 for a flywheel machine, $55 for a new spigot and around $400 for labour, all up around $1300. Its plenty of cash but like you said once its done, it wont need to be done for many k's and you wont have it in the back of your mind.
I tow an offroad camper, around 800kg and it is a dream with the new clutch, i would definately recommend it.
