....sucks big time, i just got it dropped off to double check and see it its just the clutch, but casual driving shifting into 3rd is like putting a chunk of metal thru a cheese grinder. i was on the highway enjoying the cold weather when going into boost my rpms just shot up out of control and my car gave me a nasty lurch back. im pretty much 100% certain its clutch.....

so what do i swap too

stage 3 clutch masters?

 

does your car move when you step on the throttle or it moves very slow even if you're in gear and all the car does is rev high and move very very slow? or its just slipping when shifting

 

depends on temperature, itll move, doesnt slip between shifts itll slip when im full throttle at higher rpms itll just let go and stop accelerating.

 

^^ that will last a good while if you dont boost, i suggest a 3 or 4

 

sweet, gona be ordering a stg4

how much is an average install chg for a clutch? im gona try and get one hooked up but if that doesnt pull thru i gota rely on trusty random transmission mechanic.

 

^^Free if you do it yourself, and about $1k+ for some shop to do it.

 

1k is rediculous my friend got his g35 clutch & flywheel installed for 500 out the door. im just gona have to do it myself. i have the manpower and tools.

 

if you want... i can install your new clutch with me and some friends.. i wont rape u @ 1k... lol but this car is a PITA.. and is not a 1 man job unless you have a cherry picker and about 11-15 hours of free time to spare.

 

i got a cm stage 3 for sale $300.

 

yeah installing this is a PITA but i have alot of friends who are mechanics so i dont think the install is going to be an issue, but brett leme get back to you on that clutch.

 

if u need an oem flywheel in great shape for resurfacing.. i have one ill sell for cheap... =)

 

I did it by myself without a cherry picker (two jacks needed), and took less than 11-15 hours to do it. Then again, I am RhythmnSmoke.....

 

i call BS. impossible with the mods you have listed. post up pics, vids, dynos, and timeslips of you doing it , or it never happened and gtfobbqftmfw!!!!11!11!1one...

 

wow your awesome!! want a zpi cookie? 11-15 for a novel mechanic... i've done it under 10 hours... nothing to brag and feel awesome about.

 

Ive done 5 clutch installs on the tc, got it down to about 9 hours, with 1 jack, 2 jack stands, air tools, and 2 guys

if you have a basic knowledge of mechanics then you should be fine doing it yourself.. I suggest that you replace the flywheel with a lighweight one since your already in there

 

No, on a serious note, you can do it by yourself. But you for sure will need two jacks for the purpose of aligning the tranny and the engine back together. As well as a jack to drop the tranny down with (just got to lean half your body into the engine bay to guide it down with your hands.

 

You having a bad day or something?




Yeah me too. I think I've lost count of how many times I've taken out my tranny, and members of our crew. Only did mine by myself one time.

 

only did it by myself once as well.... the first time and man it was a PITA! lol

seriously though you can do it if youve got some help, im about to pull mine out again and change the clutch/flywheel to get it ready..... wait... ive said too much!! haha

 

charged me 250 for install but this made the mechanic swear he aint doing scions/toyota anymore..

 

i installed mine in 3 hours, with only a standard socket set, a towel, 3 cans of red bull, a poster of scarface on my wall "the world is yours" and the clutch.

i armed everything else.

but then again, i am java09..
