Guest sphen02 Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 ok so basically as long as ive been on this board ive been having serious clutch issues...major slippage...but ive milked it for a rather long time id say...so around income tax return time i might be picking a new clutch up...prolly nothing more than an OEM..if mark reads this he'll kill me heh...but something that will atleast not blow up on me in less than 6 months of driving like my last clutch...and since the last few people to work on my car have screwed it up royally i figure this time do it myself and save the hassle..i've never done anything this major to my car...so i figure i should see if anyone here with a lil more experiance might be willing to help me out when i pick it up. thanx.

SupraGlue Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 At the very least you should try to get a pressure plate with stiffer springs than stock. It shouldn't cost significantly more than a stock one. That's really the only difference between my clutch and stock. You need to find out if your stock flywheel can be resurfaced also. If it is badly worn when you get the car apart, you might need a new one. You will enjoy life significantly more if you can con someone into letting you use their lift and an air compressor, btw.

slow4now Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 I'm willing to bet that a clutch upgrade is cheaper than a clutch from Toyota. Check out Exedy, I know they use OS Giken discs on the Honda units, so I'm sure that they make an excelent clutch for your Corolla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
