Hi Guys - Just started having this problem........
Driving up hills on the road and in 3rd minimally but mainly in 4th and 5th the clutch is slipping big itme. Is it worn/busted or needs adjustment if possible?? What is the cheapest and best remedy? i have no idea about clutches.
I thought if it was worn it would slip in 1st first ie going off from lights etc but it doesn't seem to miss a beat! This is what happened to a past car when the clutch was buggered.
Whats going on??

You cant adjust a hilux clutch. If its slipping in higher gears and not lower gears then the clutch has numbered days. Time for a change!
PS. A clutch will always slip in higher gears because of the lesser torque reduction avaliable in higher gears.

My clutch left me stranded 100k's from home after a day of dragging other bastards out of the mud!
After it started slipping in high gears it lasted about 5minutes.
I suggest you replace it ASAP.

Yes you can adjust a Hilux clutch. The adjustment is made at the peddle.
But sorry Benhl, doesn't sound like it'll help your case, it sounds stuffed!!

That doesn't adjust the clutch, it adjusts your pedal height, so ur wrong.
Cheap and 4x4 clutch replacement only happens one way, do it yourself.
