So which clutch did you end up getting???

Did you fit yourself or pay to have it fitted??

What are your thoughts on the clutch you picked??

Did you check price differences or that wasnt an issue??

If the rear engine seal is leaking oil into the bell housing it will also produce a shuddering clutch. Ensure when you replce the clutch you also do the oil seal.

Safari tuff or Exedy extreme's seem to have a good write up on here...just wished they had a supplier in NZ

[cooki_monsta]

hey mate iirc safari is owned by exedy any way so you will find the same tech in both clutches, but i put a safari in mine, and never looked back

Better off changing your clutch yourself its a very costly job to have a mechanic do it and its not that hard to do by yourself
Just had mine out to change the spigot bush (pilot bush) had to have clutch off and all also put a new thrust bearing and clutch slave cylinder in to done it by myself in about 4.5 hours with a few cans and on the concrete floor.

This is the third time ive had the box out aswell.
Done the clutch the first time then the next time clutch fork was bent and now to change the spigot bush.

My advice is while the clutch is off change the spigot bush its a $10 maximum part and for the hassle its worth it trust me

just been to repco in southport they will supply a safari hd clutch for 549,fitting wise have been quoted 1000,will be taking it to a truck workshop to get done

I just searched for "GQ AND clutch AND TD42" and got:

http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/search.php?mode=results

Thats a bit better than 925.......

As said - dont skimp on the spigot bush/bearing. When the clutch is depressed this little jigger is taking all of the input shaft load/vibration. I've seen a dozen or so mates skimp on this part, and every one of them has had a big whinge about their new clutch cause it was still noisy.

To change the clutch is fairly easy - you just need someone that is big boned/fesively plump to catch the box when it comes down.
