hey all,

this may have been covered before but i couldn't find a thread on it.

my clutch has only just started slipping in my corolla sportivo, im not sure whether it has been changed before by the previous owner so im thinking about maybe changing it sometime within the next 15,000kms. its only slips sometimes when i lift in 1st but apart from that its fine.

could anyone recommend a replacement clutch?? and do i need a new flywheel aswell?

cheers

xtreme HD clutch. exedy gut with xtreme parts built around it.

u dont need a new flywheel. but get a new lightened flywheel while the clutch is off if your budget allows it. i got the lightened chromoly also from xtreme. i think its a couple kgs lighter. if u wanna get the lighter aluminium one then, even better 3.5kgs from memory (dyslexik has it installed in his car). be aware that u do loose torque but u will reach lift faster and rev alot quicker than the stock flywheel. i just got the chromoly to keep the drivability for my mrs :P otherwise just get the stock one machined.

FYI - i got both installed for $1400.

BTW - if u think u going to last another 15k on the stock clutch if its slipping now, ur wrong. within 500kms of it slipping i could hardly drive it at all. get it booked in asap.

It's not slipping badly, it's only happened 4 or 5 times in the past month, apart from that its fine.

Maybe 15k is a bit over exaggerated, maybe 5k along with my next service :)

What are the part numbers and websites??? :)

same clutch dics fits both, sportivo pressure plate has more clamp. The OEM toyota discs have much better dampers than the PBR or Exedy discs that xtreme use.

Oon the aftermarket discs, with "spirited driving" the damper spring retainers eventually snap and the spring falls out jamming the pressure plate so you can't disengage the clutch.

Now I'm confused, is the xtreme clutch better or the OEM clutch???

the discs xtreme use are not as good as the OEM Asin discs in terms of damper design and strength.

I can post photo's of all the different common aftermarket clutch discs with spring retainers broken that I've pulled from Corolla's and MR2's.

the difference you notice is all down to the pressure plate.

and your saying that the OEM has a better pressure plate than the aftermarket ones?

no. The "Heavy Duty" version of the exedy/xtreme/clutch industries/competition clutch/ACT pressure plates have a higher clamp force than the OEM ASIN pressure plate. A good clutch shop can uprate the OEM pressure plate to usually develop more clamp than any of the aftermarket pressure plates.

A combination I would go for is a HD Exedy pressure plate and a new OEM Asin clutch plate from a ZZT celica, this is usually too much work and costs too much for most people.

is there any other clutch that you rate over both the OEM and Exedy in the same price range?

what price range? $300-700?

Just go to MWR's site and select one. The plates with an almost fully enclosed damper spring are typically more reliable.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
