Clutch help
Posted: Wed Nov 25, 2015 3:22 am
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the group but I need some help.
I have a 2009 model Hilux 2.5l 4x4 and the clutch has gone. Toyota is charging just shy of $1,000.00 USD just for the clutch alone. That excludes installation. This is just too pricey for me at this time. My mechanic recently had to change a clutch on another Hilux where the owner bought an after market clutch to save money but it stiffened up the pedal making it uncomfortable to drive and in the end had to get the OEM clutch from Toyota. I have heard that Toyota doesn't make the replacement parts themselves but rather that they put parts from specific manufacturers in Toyota boxes to sell as OEM parts in the dealerships at an increased price so what I wanted to know is who makes the OEM clutches for the Hilux?
