Toyota HZ75 Clutch Question

Terrain Tamer,
strong clutch an you shouldn't get the shudder of the OEM clutch,.

Cheers
Dave

Pay the extra and go genuine, unless you can source a clutch from the factory that make them for Toyota.

Toyota have a great reputation for quality parts, my old dear is still running the same uni joints after 20yrs and thats after 5yrs with the 6.5l trying to destroy them.

Rawnsley autos in Townsville is a supplier that source their parts that way.

Have a good one

Ian,

I'm still on my original clutch at 360,000km so I am impressed with the genuine item.

I was once told the clutch in the turbo model is better than non-turbo. Might be just a tale.

Also if you are getting a take of shudder, this is most often caused by a hot spot on the flywheel. You might already be onto this but just in case - you should always have the flywheel skimmed.

Ive got an Exedy Sports tuff and I think its equal to or better than the factory clutch.
It really cuts down the grr grrr grrrr coming out of the corners

I fitted the Sports clutch to my 80 series at 180000 and the genuine was still in good order but the throwout bearing was goosed. Wish I had refitted a genuine one as the sports clutch is much harder to press down and in fact bloody uncomfortable to try and hold it down for any length of time. It won't slip though under any circumstances and has no shudder whatsoever so is good in this aspect but is just difficult to push down. Have done about 20000 with the new clutch and it hasn't got any easier. Go Genuine.
