i wish i could get a flywheel for free!

i having problems tracking down a oem replacement let alone find a used one localy i would consider picking up..

sad thing is, the clutch is all what holds me from my 5spd swap, and i wont cut any corners here. i dont like yankin trannies, and dont want to waist the money. auto ftw in this case.

Stock clutches are good for stock power.


Not so! I made 348tq on a stock clutch, and threw dozens of 5K Nitto DR launches at it over a span of 12K miles....noooo problem. This was a stock toyota clutch of course...I can't speak for the cheap Ebay-zone crap.















.....But oh man, after those 12K the thing came out looking like glass. almost got to the rivets. :biglaugh:


EDIT: 89jdm7m Cracked flywheel? BAD!! Go to your room and think about what could happen to your legs, feet, etc! Think about the poor r154 bellhousing that could be shattered!

most of all....THINK OF THE KITTENS!!!!

Are we talking about the clutch kit? Or just the disc? 'Cause you can get the disc for like $55 from Toyota.
whole kit... pretty much all this post is, is a laughing matter, just making sure no one else buys an autozone clutch as well :biglaugh:
