Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi guys

Just a little help here please, I need to get a new clutch put in my dads 2000 Hilux DC 4x4 what do you guys recommend as a replacement? I have heard that Luke is a good brand? Is there anything else i could look at?

Also i noticed driving today that the speedo needle jumps up and down while driving need to get this looked at as well, where or who would i take this to get fixed?

i stay in the south of JHB close to Alberton, Any help would really be appropriated guys

thanks

Go with the Luk - Repco clutch .... a lot of the stealers repack these as OEM parts. The speedo needle is most likely because of a 'hurt' cable, if it's got a kink or if it's been re-routed to create a sharp bend it will cause the needle to jump.

The jumping needle can also be due to a speedo cable which is on its way out, just before the cable snap they tend to do that.

LUK or Sachs for the clutch

I was always one for keeping my Bakkie original, I had a heavy Duty Toyota Clutch Fitted years back, at 160000km, at 349000km it showed no signs of wearing out in a hurry.
My speedo Cable started, bouncing replacing it is cheap, simple job to replace too... (once the dash/clock section is removed)

Luke is fine The speedo cable like said can be going.

On these Toyota packs a nice Sachs clutch kit in their Toy boxes. Only way how to say if it is OW Toyota if there is stamped in AISIN.

Thanks Guys

Taking it to a friend this next week to get the gear box checked out, also will pick up a speedo cable, that i'll see if i can get from Gemini parts???

thanks again for the advice

Gemini will have!

Before going to the expense of replacing the speedo cable, try cleaning/re-greasing it. My SFA's speedo also jumped, a good clean of the inner cable and lube fixed it 100%.

If the cable is anything like the SFA one, then you can detach it on the gearbox side and remove the inner cable without having to disassemble the dashboard.
