Hi guys: i bought my car used and it was tricked out already and to be honest i didnt know too much about aftermarket parts and i would be surprised if the ****' last owner bought a performance clutch... i would be surprised because the car had k&m cai and megan headers but everything else was s#$t... like the ebay cheap exhaust or the cutted springs. ( well.. the k&n plus the megan brands are the best.. so.. whatever.. ) but:

my bro has an 08 scion with 4k miles.. and his clutch is like 2 times softer and it has very long throw way ( idk how to describe it.) so my clutch feels like a sport - racing clutch.. shorter range and much stiffer

is that only because the o8 is like that ( soft, _____ clutch ) or is it my clutch?

you probably have an aftermarket clutch.. if so and it happens to actually be a good one, you should be happy... i love my competition clutch compared to my stock one... stock clutch was awful

for real? so stock o5 and 08 has the exactly same clutch? damn i wanna go to a scion meeting right now to test other ppl clutch

any other opinion?

jaxtcracer

they have the same clutch. sloppy, long-pedaled, and very light. if your pedal travel is short and the engagement point is stiff (like mine), it's not stock

i just realized this whole thing could be the answer for my worries about the clutch noise..

jaxtcracer

yeah a lot of aftermarket clutches have chatter. luckily, mine is chatter-free *knock on wood*

Sure you just dont have a short throw shifter in there?

SquallLHeart

a shifter and a clutch are uhh.. two different things.

idk but it feels much better!!!! i would go crazy if i have that sloppy , soft and long-pedaled stock clutch.. that is just horrible... i didnt know scion has a sh!tty clutch like that..

^^ what do you mean? they all wear out like that or what? maybe i dont even have aftermarket clutch?

^^ i think he meant older clutches from different cars, yeah even the stock tc clutches arent so bad at all..

well.. i just drove my car again ( my bro took it for the weekend thats why i drove his stock tc) and DAMN.. i just LOVE my clutch.. its so better... short pedaled, much stiffer.. its lovely to drive with it. i wonder if a short shifter would be good with the performance clutch?... or its gonna be hard to change the gears?..
