1998 4runner 4x4, 5 speed, 170k miles.
Have a broken Sway Away coil that has been on back order for over a month! So the truck has been sitting for almost two months now...
I went to make sure it would still start, the it did easily but I could not even get it in gear, had to literally pump the clutch and really force it in. I was not driving but just playing as I let it run.
Last year when I left it parked once I came to it and the clutch was on the floor. I worried, but pulled it back up, pumped it a few times and it was fine. My mechanic said there was no leak in the master or slave cylinder (who knows). So I kept driving it. Now its for sure something leaking since sitting it killed it...
Before this issue, the clutch was grabbing only close to the top, so I am assuming it needs a clutch anyhow.
If I am going to do this ONCE and plan on trying to keep this truck forever, what all parts should I buy to get rebuilt clutch?
A heavy duty Marlin Crawler clutch rebuild kit
-Rear main seal?
-Clutch pedal return spring?
-Marlin flywheel?
-Slave and Master Cylinder from Marlin
-Clutch Pedal return bushing?
There seems to be other odds and ends some people suggest getting done if doing the clutch. Stuff for the pedal, stuff for the mount around the stick shift itself, etc its confusing. I do not want to mess with this again, so basically whatever is suggested I would like to order all the parts from Marlin and then take it to my mechanic when money is right.
Darn truck needs a coil, tires, clutch it seems now, and I wanted to do skids and sliders. I am medically retired on disability and my disability got cut off on some freaking bogus technicality, so until that is resolved I am in the hurt box. Sway Away was going to replace the broken coil for free, do the install and rebuild shocks for cheap, give me a matching coil at price for other side....then I was thinking about Kelly TSR 265/70-17 tires, Budbuild skid, sliders (not sure if I should do bolt on or weld on, Savage, Trailgear,
![Huh??? ???](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/huh.gif)
so many options Marlin does not seem to have them for my year), and now it looks like it will be replace coils, then get the clutch done!!!!! Then tires, sliders, skid, and maybe some day a rear bumper....
If someone can give me basically the low down on what to order, maybe I can con the family into my Christmas list being whatever I need for the clutch!!!
