[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1480628, member: 17493"] I dont care about grip or slip or performance blah blah. But as a mechanic I can tell you one thing for sure. The parts store clutches have completely gone to ****. They dont seem to be bad in the friction material choice, but quality of the disc and stamping/assembly has gone to ****. I have replaced 5 clutches in the last 3 years that had AWESOME looking friction material but the discs had blown apart. Its always between the coil springs on along the stamping lines that get crimped into them when pressed/riveted together. The quality if the parts store clutch kits are very evident in the thrwout bearing they come with. All the parts store clutches come with a tiny little TO bearing that is then crimped into a tin housing that makes it fit in a toyota. The bearing itself is TINY and about half the size of the crimped housing. It doesnt matter where ya get it (rock auto, marlin, TG, ebay Dealer), make sure its an AISIN/SECCO with a JAP throwout bearing. Otherwise ya might be back in there is 3 months to removed the cracking/crunching clutch disc that you just got a "deal" on. [/QUOTE]
