Need good clutch for '94 4Runner V6
Guys,
my current aftermarket clutch has about 150000 km on it and is getting week. I am looking for a replacement but cant make up my mind. Since it is a pain in the ass to install the clutch I rather get a kick ass clutch and pay a little more for it rahter then breaking down in the bush or doing it again next year. The truck only goes off road, has the 3l V6 and 32" Mudders. I use it for casual offroading to get where i need to get and it pulls a boat and ATV. I dont really need a clutch like a centerforce which is good to let go off the clutch pedal at peak rpm I want a clutch that: - grips better than stock - lasts loooooooooooooooooong I was thinking about Downey but their clutch info is a little confusing and since thay dont have a homepage (hello ... its 2005) hard to get info. Also hear Downey clutches kill bearings in the tranny. A long time ago I saw a TRD clutch which is bigger than stick, but no dealer has heard about that ... What are my options? Matt |

its not that i dont like them but I think its not what I need. The way
i understand centerforce is that they have a lot of holding power for burn outs but other than that arent special will a centerforce last longer than stock clutch? Matt |

I got the Canadian tire one with all the small fingers for my Jeep CJ7
with 33" muds on it and found it insanely hard to push the pedal down with my mechanical linkage. My tranny nose piece had a ding in it so the throw out bearing ate the fingers off the pressure plate in a year and a bit. I did a lot of trail and mud running over that year and when a friend asked how hard I was on the disk while I had it apart, I passed it to him to see. He started laughing like mad so I looked and the printed label was still on both sides of the clutch faces! Man that was wild, I was impressed. Going on 5 years now with an older Borg Warner spring pressure plate and the same CT disk and still hasn't even needed adjusting and I wheel a lot and use it as a daily driver.
