How much is a new clutch?

[bowman]

I was up scouting bears today and my clutch went out on me, luckily I was able to limp it home.  How much will it cost to replace it? My truck is a 1991 Toyota Pickup.  Anyone know a good place to go? I live in Lake Stevens.

I know a good place, wont be the cheapest but then you wont get quality for nothing, i can pm ya cost friday. I am assuming 4x4, 3.0 or 2.4

[bowman]

It's a 4x4 V6 3.0.

Thanks

If ur broke they arent that hard to replace yourself if you got a spot to work on it and some tools  My friend in highschool had the clutch go out in his and we were able to figure it out with some help from his brother. His was lifted so it was easy to drop the tranny down to get at it tho. probably tougher if its stock...

I would splurge on a good aftermarket clutch kit if I were you.  I had a 94 with the 3.0 it ate the cheapy little shucks clutch kits every couple years then I put in the enty level Centerforce clutch that was maybe 250 bucks, and never had another issue.  Check out 4wheelparts.com they usually have pretty competitive prices, and a knowledgable sales staff.  They actually diverted me from buying one of the more hardcore centerforce clutches saying it would make for a tight pedal, and a real pain for daily driving.

Thats a very easy do it yorself project if you are somewhat handy with tools and have basic knowledge. Ive replaced  3 yota clutches and always went with a centrerforce, usually the cheapest one as they are better than stock. Put a dual friction in my 91 3.0 . Got it online for 320.00, had the flywheel resurfaced ( 15.00) , new throwout bearing and pilot bearing 35.00 I think and allignment tool 5.00. Pedal is not stiff at all on that, a little stiifer than stock but feels better IMO.

Did almost the same thing with my 91 3.slow except I put the heavier flywheel in.

The first "big" job i ever did when it came to wrenching was replacing the clutch on my jeep. I was intimidated at first but wasnt about to take it to a shop. Its actually pretty dam easy all you need is a typical tool box and a jack. I thought it was going to be hard but everything only goes back together ONE way theres no other way to put it back together. If your having a problem all you have to do is look up a youtube video and itll show how to do it, also.

I don't think id ever pay for "quality" when it comes to a car unless maybe its paint. A new cluch is a new cluch, take out all the bolts til the tranny comes out, take out clutch bolts then put bolts back in until you don't have any left, I did my first one when I was 16(somewhere around 20 total now because of friends and side jobs) and i didn't know what a box end wrench was at the time. i'd probably come over and do it for $150 in labor and you can get a cluch kit for another 150ish. It could easily be done in 8 hours and probably half that if you really know what your doing.

I'm about the exact opposite

DIY, it cant be that difficult in a Toyota.

I am a firm believer in quality parts, they are NOT all created equal! Personally for Honda/Toyota I like Aisin clutches.

[KFhunter]

don't skimp on the parts, you'll pay for it later.

make sure to resurface that flywheel too, new throwout bearings the whole works.

do the labor yourself, I did an 88 no tranny jack or anything did it in the sand.  I just rolled the tranny on my chest and pushed it up into place. I was dirt poor at the time but got good replacement parts and she held up until I got rid of the truck long time later.

if you ain't got money to just throw at it then you need to save on the labor costs so you can afford good replacement parts.

I guess when i said i wouldn't pay for quality i was refering to quality labor. I know some guys on here are auto mechanics and are probably pretty inteligent but honestly Im shocked most automotive guys can operate the time clock. I worked on aircraft for 5 years and its not really much different, one guy went to the hospital 9 times in two years because he couldn't remember to duck when he walked under the belly of a 737 when we were doing lap joint repairs.. if they can do it so can you. I like good parts but honestly you can get a limited lifetime warranty complete cluch kit for 130-175 dollars from schucks or autozone, i don't care if it goes out after i die.
