Need a new clutch in the 80.
Anyone recomend anything for an 80 with 35's.
Is the original good enough or should I be using something different.

Clutch on 80

I did some research on this back in April as I need to change my clutch in my 94 HZJ80 (with AM Turbo). I am still yet to do this.

Direct Clutch Service - Albion 3862 2680 H/D $526 fitted $986 seemed extremely helpful, the clutch he fits he modifies to make very light on the peddel (helpful if you do not have a power assisted clutch) from another persons report who had this done no problems with clutch even on a AM Turbo

All Brake & Clutch & Clutch 32772888 $800-$900 not very helpful

4x4 Excellance Brendale 3881 3434 - Std $400, Fitted $961, H/D $500, Fitted $1061, Extreme $693, Fitted $1254, Extreme is a heavy clutch

Oldmac Toyota Cleavland $750 fitted.

As far as prices go Toyota had the best price suprise. suprise. If I had a std Toyota I would go for this. But as mine has a hair dryer I intend to go to Direct Clutch Service because I have heard good reports and the fact that they are able to provide a lighter clutch that works fine on TD .

No affiliations, blah, blah, blah.

Lets me know how you get on, who you choose and what the service and end product is like.
Cheers,
Stinger

HI .
I would use direct clutch.. i have got a few clutch's through them on performance cars. they modify the cluch so it has more clamping force with reduced pedel weight.. highly recomend them
