Re: New clutch
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.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Re: New clutch
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

Re: New 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)

Re: New clutch
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.

Re: New clutch
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.
