Having a problem finding clutch for jza70

[Coke]

Ive been quoted $1300 and $900 just for the clutch kit!
Anyone know where I could find one at a reasonable price?

[aesc]

Toyota? AKA Revhead

[Coke]

Yea tried toyota,
They need to order it in bits......so im looking to see if i can get something local

Where you located?

Your setup uses a Pull type clutch IIRC?

[Coke]

Hey silent night........im in auckland, all i know is that it does use a pull type clutch. You have one?

Unfortunately I don't.

But they are generally a tad more expensive than the normal. 900$ sounds about right for a decent clutch if you are replacing yours.

Who have you contacted for prices so far?

[Coke]

Ive spoken to a couple gearbox places think one was called the gearbox shop.
$900 sounds quite expensive for a clutch since ive seen people buying new ones at 250-300mark. But i guess the r series box uses a more expensive clutch.

Ring BNT and Trade Parts. Trade Parts are off of Wairau Road from memory. They did me a really good deal last time.

Tradeparts no luck......Bnt getting back to me. Wouldnt they use the same clutches as the 7ms?

yip yip the JZA70 manual and MA70 manuals have the same clutches - providing they are R154's

I got the SPEC Stage III for my JZA70 and it was mint... handled everything i threw at it

Here is the Link for it...

I have a spare clutch if you are in need of one to get rebuilt?

Just let me know.,... tried selling it a while ago but no one wanted it. disk is rooted but the pressure plate is all good!

By the way, its a pull type.

Your in for a bastard of a job....
(both finding one, then putting the thing in)


$900 i think is about what toyota quoted me for a standard replacement kit. its significantly larger than most other clutches that people buy for ~$300. Plus its a pull clutch which adds expense.

in the end i pulled out the plastic fantastic and ordered a 3puk TRD from Warwick (had to come from japanland though)



however there were some clutches on trademe for about 600$ at one stage.

other option is having your current one rebuilt. (or if you dont want downtime you could have my old one for next to nothing (ie beer ) to get rebuilt)

[MrOizo]

Bastard alright!

i would recommend pulling the engine in one and doing it all outside the car.

muuuuuch easier... i got pulling an engine down to a art at one stage

How is a r154 so much harder that a w series? last time i pulled mine out it took me 45mins on a hoist..

Yea figured the procedure exceeds my abilites as im still learning so postfach might give me a hand or il just get a shop to do it. Might have to go with the clutch your running Si.
MrOizo you have mail
