Well my friend has an 07 tC and he decided to look at all the papers for his car...then he found this paper that listed all of the parts on his car and under one of the options it said he had a TRD stage 3 clutch....lol but the dealership who sold him the car didnt add it into the price lol he saved 1200...then he looked up the clutch and it can handle 650hp and thats awsome.....only bad thing is he doesnt know if the stage 3 clutch has a new flywheel..o well if anyone has the clutch please tell me if the flywheel is included......tyvm

 

I would think that it should be, but if they were just additions to get people to buy the car, then maybe not.
Good question.

Happy birthday BTW.

 

i didn't know they had a stage 3. isn't stage 3 a very hard clutch to drive with for a daily driver? i know a couple people with them on integras and they said they are a _____ for normal driving and make a squeeling sound when let out slowly(for example when backing up). so from what i know about stage 3 clutches he would knew he had it just from driving it.

 

A stage 3 would be a decent daily driven clutch. People are running up to stage 5 on the tC,

 

Was it a new tC off the lot? B/c I doubt a dealer would go through the trouble of putting a clutch like that on there (btw, does TRD even make a stage 3 clutch?) and just kind of forget about it.

 

when he bought the car they said it had just arrived the day b4...so I doubt the dealer installed it.. but ya it is a stage 3 clutch and as far as it being a daily driver lol it is.....he also told me that his shifts are shorter than he thought a normal tC's shifts are....he drove a m/t celica with a shortshifter and compared it to his tC..he said the tC felt even shorter.....wierd huh? what are the chances of getting a free clutch with a new tC lol...oh and if anyone does know the answer to my question stated up top please respond......tyvm

 

ill see if I can get the parts number for the clutch so I can post it

 

the clutch has nothing to do with your throws. additionally the clutch is only 650 and it only provides an additional 25% clamping force over stock. NOT 385% as you are suggesting it does

you or your friend is a moron

 

^^ He's right, I don't know where you got your numbers from.

Ya, that's the only TRD clutch I know of... and there's no "stage" involved. It's just a performance one.

 

this is a funny thread

 

I'm sorry. You guys are cracking me up so hard over here. "Stage 3 TRD clutches", "clutches reducing your shifts", that's all new to me, and I'm going on my 3rd clutch in our tC right now. Wish I would have known about the "Stage 3, 650hp TRD Clutch". Sure would have saved me a lot of hassle....

 

Yea, I think it's actually made out of unobtanium. Higher heat resistance than carbon, grabs better than glue, and lasts for 300,000 miles.

 

HAHAHA Stage 3 is nothing, I have a Comp Stage 5 "4 Puck" as my daily driver....

 

i think your missing the point

650 whp on a stage 3. trd doesn't make stages and a clutch doesn't change your throws

 

wow, i wonder if he is friends with that guy who owns that 2005 "trd edition" scion tc, you remember, the one with "titanium valves"

now seriously...dude... why would a dealership install a stage 3 clutch on a stock tc, why would you need it to hold 650 whp? the most powerful tc i've heard of is 318tc 454 whp turbo tc.

the only toyota i can think of that has the potential for 650 whp is the supra.

also, how do you even know it is there? if the partlist said lightweight flywheel, and he hasn't driven a tc before, how would he even know it was there?

 

ya thats true, TRD only makes one clutch right? and Im sure it doesnt hold more then 300whp.

 

yep they make one clutch and its rated at 25% over stock so even at 170 whp is 212 whp maxxxx

 

fun well if you know anyone who needs a good clutch the comp stage 5 grabs really hard...
