Jos Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I'm converting my supra from auto to manual, and before buying it all new, has anyone got a decent clutch/pressure plate and flywheel for sale? Would like to have my supra running again before dragonball and all I'm missing is a clutch Can arrange for courier if that's preferred (I live in the netherlands) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorglub Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 got a oem flywheel with something like 25-30 000 km on it. 150€ + shipping I also got a RPS stage 1 pressure plate but i need to remove it from the car when i receive the new one (stage4). I don't think the friction disk will live alot longer So i m ready to give you those part for free if you take the flywheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I have a low hours stock flywheel and several usable, but used, stock clutches. Of course, I also have my uprated stock TT clutch kits, as well. See below for info on those. E-Mail me if you want a price on the used stuff, but bear in mind carriage to the Netherlans will be expensive. Available now: Uprated MKIV TT clutches. I use the stock, brand new driven plate, as it is correctly balanced, doesn't judder and will hold all but mega torque highly modded engines or cars used for drag racing. I modify a stock brand new cover to give more clamping force. The reason I tooled up to do these is some of the aftermarket US clutches I have fitted SEEM to be built from used cover assemblies with reground friction surfaces, and a stronger spring. I have had hellish trouble getting these to fully release, because due to this seemingly thinner cast iron friction face, the geometry of the clutch goes to pot, and being a pull type clutch (the hydraulics pull the bearing away from the engine, rather than the more normal push type) it is a lot harder to effect a cure. For 455 pounds plus VAT , you get a brand new driven plate, a brand new modded cover, and a brand new release bearing. I would rather fit myself so any complaints are down to me, I see a lot of clutches damaged by people without the right gear (a ramp and transmission jack, plus correct circlip tools and fitment) or clutches fitted to patently *uggered flywheels. I will do a supply only if you feel competent to tackle the job or are using a bona fide garage to fit the clutch Toyota use a dual mass flywheel (the flywheel is in 2 parts, an inner and outer assembly, damped in the middle) which is now showing signs of wear causing a lot of rattle when idling or on very light throttle openings. For God knows what reason they are charging about £400 + VAT for a new one, they look more like they should be over 500 to me, but don't say anything :-) The very similar LUK dual mass flywheel on Maseratis is nearly £1000 + VAT.... So if the flywheels old enough or abused enough to be scored it should be replaced. Fitting by myself will cost £175 + VAT. Reply privately if interested please.
