New clutch

Post by 2car »

Just picked up my new clutch/Flywheel. It's a 2f clutch and friction plate fitted to a 168T Chevy flywheel. Had the flywheel drilled and machined to take the Toyota clutch. Also had the flywheel and clutch balanced for good measure. $450 including the complete clutch kit.

The clutch has given me trouble since I bought the car (FJ40) and this should finally solve the problems. When I bought the car I used the clutch problem to beat the guy down on price, so thats kinda paid for the work I had done.

Friction Plate. This thing is WAY beefier than the Chev clutch I chucked out. The Damping springs are doubled up ie. one inside the other, and the facing material is spiral wound with moulded-in grooves. Wikkid!

Flywheel machined by Danny at Berco in Mitchell. Nice work.
