Guest MrDre Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi all, I probably have to replace the flywheel on my 6-speed '96 NA very soon. Or maybe some (or entire) clutch parts. It has been giving me some grief lately and an transmission expert told me that that might be the problem. The question is: What should I replace the parts with. Should I go OEM or aftermarkt. I am going to do a NA -> TT conversion soon also. So are there any differences in these parts from a NA and a TT. If they are the same I could replace the parts this winter and if not I need to wait until the conversion project starts. Tanks in advance.

Nic Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Can you describe the problems you are having at the moment? If you have a 6spd box and you are intending to fit a 2JZ-GTE engine, I would fit OEM Toyota 6spd clutch cover/friction dic/flywheel (if needed)/bearings for a TT.

Guest MrDre Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The problem it's got is that when I put the clutch pedal down while driving in 1st gear or reverse, it makes a clunky noise once. Also shifting from 1st to 2nd aint smooth. To 3rd is way better and the rest of the gears go without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm having exactly the same problems. Is this definitely symptoms of the flywheel? I only fitted the V161 gearbox conversion a week ago and the flywheel looked fine before it went in. It was quite a low mileage one and there were no signs of wear etc... What causes the clunking noise? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Clutch release bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Clutch release bearing? I fitted a new OEM release bearing and pilot bearing when i installed the gearbox. The car seems to drive fine, it's just the weird clunking noise when you press the clutch pedal and only in the lower gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrDre Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Also the noise seems to echo 2-3 times, as if something were loose. Damn so hard to describe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2soops Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I get this with mine also, feels a little bit like the clutch isn't disengaging fully. I will try bleeding the fluid system when i get a chance as it may have air trapped preventing full disengagment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
