I have a 2008 landcruiser V8 ute and for my trade I regularly tow a heavy trailer on and off sandy job sites. Just before Xmas I could smell clutch when towing and could feel the slip when accelerating with the load on.

I booked it into a local specialist mechanic shop and asked for a heavy duty clutch replacement. Done and all was well. Until now. 6 months later and my clutch is slipping again.

The clutch I had installed as I understand was standard clutch with heavier pressure plate. It also meant the disengage was right on the floor which made it difficult to change gears.

I am now looking for another clutch ( the shop I used before has shut down - damn or I would be back there.)

Anyone know which heavier clutch I can install - where to get it from and another clutch installer around Mandurah WA.

Cheers
