The clutch is an Aisin heavy duty from RoughTrax. Aisin make OEM Toyota clutches don’t they?
I didn’t use an instal tool on the pressure plate, just centred the friction plate with an alignment tool, located the pressure plate on the dowels and torqued the bolts in rotation as per the fsm. In fact I just followed the FSM box removal procedure to the letter, remove this then remove that etc but no mention of that pesky starter stud.
I’ll be doing a few of the checks suggested before proceeding further. Oil drop, slave cylinder fit and clutch arm play.
I was really peed off yesterday and couldn’t bear looking at the thing but, one thing I have decided having slept (badly) on the problem is that I want it fixing, even if it means sourcing another box. Leaving for work this morning and seeing it sat on the drive I just thought I can’t let it go like this especially as it’s my own doing.
Spoke to MT transmissions in Sheffield today who sell recon boxes but not for LC’s, as I expected really but they can fix mine, albeit with parts they will have to source from a Toyota dealer.
