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?

 

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

 

yaaaay so i have aftermarket clucth!!! well.. i dont really have any problem with my clutch and to be honest i liek it better than that soft clutch so hurray!

 

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

 

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?

 

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

 

u can add the megan racing stuff to the ____ list also. after some time ull see what i mean. the happiest day of my life was when i took em off.

 

maybe the trd clutch the owner had added as an option from the dealer?

 

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..

 

if youve ever driven older clutches you wouldnt complain about the tcs lol

 

^^ 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..

 

ok i see.. before this tc i had an automatic mercedes... so it had no clutch pedal to push..

 

you use to many exclamation marks. it drives me nuts

 

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?..

 

hahahahaha so true. my left leg used to get sore after an hour of driving.
