nigelboyne Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 claire toyota belfast as every thing is disscontued down here will give you best price for the parts think bout 300 for clutch. you need the bearing 70 quid. think the pressure plate is dear.you could get the crank seal to while the clutch is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I think AFR are the UK dealer for Southbend. Price was around the £400-£500 mark dependant on the spec (the DXD range is good for 750ib/ft+). My last car did 36k miles (1.25bar BPU and single) on one before it gave up. It did not have an easy life god that expensive for me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 god that expensive for me now Plus 3 hours labour from your chosen garage If you're only sticking to BPU and don't murder the clutch a stock one should be okay, it'll save a few quid, but buying and fitting a new clutch is not cheap. Sorry! Just hope that the flywheel is not cooked too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I used stock on a hard driven and lively BPU with no probs at all, you may pick up a decent s/h one as many good ones are taken out and doubles/triples fitted. Steve manley @ inchape Toyota will prob give you 20% discount on one as your a club member. If you are to remove the flywheel to fit the crank rear oil seal make sure and buy new flywheel bolts as they are TTY bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprab1 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I would stay away from spec tbh. I read a few very bad things about spec when i was researching clutches for an evo about 2 month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Ok well its the clutch not much left in her so wont be driving it till its fixed . Is Spec good??? Don over here got a spec Clutch for his Supra, US made I think. Very noisey and pedal was very heavy, the bite on the clutch was either on or off , very harsh for daily driving and near impossible in traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Claire a "blue point" clutch from your local motor factors will do just fine, just bed it in for a few hundred miles of regular changing before diffing the life out of it. Clutches are a bit like brake pads, better if run in with some sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
