Changing clutch plate n HJ75

Post by Andrew Pettengell »

Hi
I have a Toyota Landcruiser cab chassis ute HJ75 with 2H engine. I changed the orginal clutch at 160,000km now at 350,000 and plan to change shortly. The complication is that I am in Bangladesh - half way through a worldwide driving trip! Can anyone advise what parts should be changed along with the clutch plate? It cna be hard to get a straight answer here!

Thanks

clutch plate, pressure plate, throw out bearing, spigot bearing and get the flywheel machined.

And rear main (rear crank) seal if possible while the flywheel is off getting machined.

A good idea but not always the way to go! If the rear main is not leaking then do not touch it! There is always a possiblity the new seal will leak! So dont change it if you dont have too! And Buddah said everything!

What they said^^ if you don't trust the mechanic get them to do as little as is required! Consider replacig the clutch lever and pin too.

Have you got a blog or something going?

Cheers for the help everyone....
The clutch is working well now - just buying the parts in preparation - might be harder to do in Pakistan/ Iran where we head next as depending on the situation we might have to go thru v quick with police escort!

I've tracked down a clutch plate - just can't find a pressure plate or a kit. Does anyone know if the toyota kits(or on genuine are still available for this engine? the

And check the fork for wear/cracks, because you'll be really pissed when if goes 5000kms after changing the clutch in your freezing cold, tool-less, dark, missus infested, beerless shed.....not like i'd know though :roll:
