I'm looking for a new clutch kit for Daihatsu Feroza 93...

I recently got GoodYear Wrangler MT/R tyres put on the 'Roza and since then the current cluth doesnt seem to be functioning well with the new tyres.

I was told that I needed to get a after-market clutch kit for the 'Roza.

I'm residing in Toowoomba, QLD - so do you know where to get a after-market clutch kit?

Thanks

I got mine from Global Auto spares...... I cant remember the price I'm sorry.

I was looking around for a new clutch for my Rocky a while ago.

The most popular and reliable clutch seems to be a Daiken brand.

The company that seemed to know the most was:

Direct Clutch Service
4 Bimbil St, Albion, Brisbane.
ph 07 3862 2680


They specialise in racing clutches and seem to know their stuff.
Give em a call.

Price for a heavy duty clutch to suit a Rocky TD was $505.

i am running MT/Rs, my clutch is worn .. i think you can safely blame it on the tyres with the argument when running mt/r's you need to drive harder stuff...who knows. They seem to make driving a bit sluggish on road, think thats the way with all mud tyres..? What size tyre and wheel are you running?

Larger tyres will do that as you've effectively changed the gearing of the engine/ drivetrain. The smallest size MTR's come in is 235/75R15, which will make a fair change to the gearing and load the engine more.

You probably would need to slip the clutch more off road to compensate too.

PS: Shezzbeav I've just updated the FAQ with some good links on clutches.

yes, david is correct. any time you upgrade the size of the tire, your not only changing the gearing ratios, your also adding on weight. i went from 165/65/R15 to 205/70/R15 at... and that wasnt too bad, then i went from that to 235/75/R15 muddies... man what a HUGE difference between the muddies and the at in terms of weight and size! i would say each tire of the muddies weigh in at about 20 lbs more than the ats... so yes you put quite abit of strain on the engine and even more so on the clutch since its going to take more slippage in order to get the clutch to engage, thus wears out faster. if you can, try to get a heavy duty clutch, worth the extra money. so far i havent had much luck trying to find a heavy duty one, much less a stock one here the u.s....

I have had 31x10.5's on my roza for a few years now. The current clutch is upto about 90,000kms. No signs of slippage yet.

I have had 10R centerpedes MT's on for about 6 weeks and they havent made the clutch slip either.

thanks everyone for the tips, etc... will pass those onto my partner he's shitting himself about the clutch slipping... going over 4000 rpm's everytime he goes uphill... seems like the new tyres are putting stress on the clutch....

rofl.... ok... in that sense.. his clutch is NOT slipping... roza engines are designed to rev high.. its a very solid, well built, well balanced engine. just becareful as it produces alot of torque in the high rev ranges and u can snap an engine mount or 2.... if your clutch was slipping, you would have a harder time moving the truck, you'd really notice slippage when u take off from a dead stop, there would also be a burnt clutch smell as it slips really bad and builds up heat.. maybe after 5-10 minutes of city driving...

Am in Singleton got one from valley brake and clutch $220

Well i'll be darned if the same thing didn't happen to me. Not long after putting mt/r's on as well.

I went a daiken heavy duty clutch. After it ran in a little it's been perfect since. Just be aware that the adjusting nut is made of plastic and once moved it has a tendacy to unwind itself. I fixed mine by adding a hose clamp behind it so it cant travel backwards.

All up it cost me 700 bucks to have it done. Think the clutch itself was around 360 bucks and the rest was labour. Any decent mechanic will get the flywheel machined for you too. Would be worthwhile getting the main engine seal replaced while your at it. I'm sure if you shop around you'll be able to get a better price (and mechanic) than me.
