clutch in hilux with v6 commo motor

Post by hiluxmad »

got a lux with a v6 commo motor and the clutch is knacked after les than 1000 ks????? cant get it into gear while the engine is running and it takes up right on the floor got a landcruiser master to give it more throw on the slave but do i need to resleave the slave too??? clutch would have got wet a few times but would think it would be stuffed so quick???
anyone had this prob or heard of it???

clutch

Post by luxembuger »

G'day, in my V6 Lux i'm using a standard Holden V6 pressure plate with a standard Holden V8 clutch plate. Flywheel is V6. Have had this setup since i did the conversion thousands of k's ago with no problems of early wear or the like. It's important to get the pivot fork adjustment correct. The slave cylinder is re-sleeved to 11/16" bore. Good luck pal.

the clutch in my v6 commy hilux is super stiff, ive done a couple of burnouts on the road with new 31's on and it engages very harsh when you let it out, has almost no slip at all its like its its either in or out, cant ride it at all, not the best for 4x4ing

What clutch did you put in?

Blatently obvious, but you have you tried bleeding it, fluid in the master?

ive just read through the marks adapter instructions and it says to use a standard v6 pressure plate along with a standard v8 clutch plate to reduce shudder
