Sean1933 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Right. The supra came of the road yesturday as my runabout 1.4 ZX passed its mot. So far its cost me £169.49 for the car + parts to pass MOT + MOT + 6 months tax Driving it to work i noticed the clutch is slipping when at peak torque (about 40ft/lb if im lucky! ). So obviously it needs changing. The best price i have found is £65 for full kit inc delivery. But to be honest i dont want to spend it if i dont have to as its only a crap box....can i get away with just changing the friction plate as i can get one for £15 delivered?

tDR Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well is the clutch just slipping? If so just replace the friction plate. If you're getting a judder as well then you really need a cover too (fingers worn) so may as well get the clutch kit. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 just slipping. I just dont really want to take it all apart in a month to put a new pressure plate on it too! Whats the worst that can happen if i only change the friction plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 You get clutch judder a while down the line and either live with it or do the job again. TBH it's a false economy just doing the friction plate if you're keeping the car for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
