Often aftermarket clutches are just as good if not better than OEM, despite what the dealerships will tell you :P
Just make sure you have the flywheel machined before its installed.

1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar

Suprisingly, I've found all genuine Toyota parts that I've sourced through Ilam Toyota (sorry Mr Revhead, but they're only round the corner! :D) have proven to be much cheaper than anything BNT, Ripco, Supercheap or otherwise could do, even at trade price! :wink:

Yeah, I suppose I got a bit of a shock when HB Toyota gave me a quote for about $700 for parts & labour, and the mechanic I usually use said about $450... figured that not all of that could be labour/ dealership costs, and since a friend got quoted $220 for a hupcap... :shock:

Been meaning to give call you Mr Revhead, but been keeping internet usage down- saving pennies, and work's internet policy a PITA :roll: ... E-mail's on the way, honest!

The main clutch place in town recommends a clutch by Valeo, saying its "really, really good", being 20% grippier/ clampier than Daiken's standard one. Is this one of the mumbo jumbo brands you're talking about? They're not saying its a HD clutch, but that they have definitely had good feedback from their customers... oh, to be the all knowing all seeing Oz! :)
