Topic: stock clutch

[johnny51]

I just picked up a 85 pickup minus wheels and head gasket, the only thing I have to put on them is my 39.5 swampers, will that be o.k with the stock clutch?

just going to be a trail rig, it's got a spool in the back and stock gears, open front, stock 22re with headmond header,
thanks

Ah no head gasket? 39s are a little big for stock gears. What Kind of trail? Like rocky trails or what? If your wanting to make it into a crawler, then you will need to double down, beef ur up with that kind of a tire!

I fried my factory toyota clutch with 37's and 5.29 gears so your stock one won't last long with 39.5's and stock gears.

when i try to spin my 32s with stock gears my clutch slips (trying to dump clutch)


p.s. its locked in the rear and on pavement. dirt is anopther story

that stock clutch is going to fry in short order, if you had minimum 5.29 gears, it might be ok..... but stock gears with that huge a tire will fry it rather quickly

Thanks for all the reply's, so what do you think the best combo is? my tires a tsl swampers, and the trails around are mostly mud and snow,
and do I need to regear if a double up? and was wondering what type of clutch to get marlin or center line?
sorry for all the newb Q's but this is my first yota and I've hear how tough theye are so just want to get this thing on the trail to check it out!

thanks again

Need different gears first.  But a HD clutch every year or so will work I guess...   

[johnny51 [OP]]

if you read my post the Q was do I need to regear if I double up? not haw many clutches I need to do in a year


thanks!

[Plekto]

I'd re-gear with those tires in either case.  Way too big for stock gears, even doubled up.

alright thanks man! mabye I'll just see if anyone has some 35's they want to trade or something the 39's are just what I had when I got the truck,

thanks!

I believe this is due to the stock self-adjusting slave cylinder...... (slow and sticky retraction)

After the clutch is fully in, you should be fine.

self adjusting   not on my truck

if your front and rear diff gears are in good shape,  you could just get dual tcases, with a 4.7 in the rear case,   if you ever drive the truck on the road aka, you arent in lo range, it MUST HAVE some 5.29's

[nvtoyin21]

Agree with all! Daul T-cases are the way to go.

Oh i believe your right, it slips for a bit but then grabbed after the engine rpm dropped a bit. but i think maybe its just the pressure plate not being strong enough to slam the clutch together. or maybe the friction material is geared more towards long life and is not grabby enough.


p.s. sorry for the hijack
