Good shop in LA (clutch in Tacoma)?
« on: Dec 15, 2016, 02:15:35 PM »
Does anyone know a good Tacoma shop in LA that would be willing to install Marlin's Heavy Duty Clutch?

New to Los Angeles and the couple places I called don't even want to deal with it...

I'm on the West side, but willing to travel to the right place, within reason.

Thanks!

Hey ikaria,

Just a comment on installing heavy duty clutches and pressure plates.  Several guys that I know that installed heavy duty clutch kits ended up replacing their failed clutch slave cylinders.  You might consider replacing the stock one if its got some extended miles on it.  You would then want to keep the old one in your off-road trail parts kit.  If your clutch slave cylinder fails and you are on a trail or on the road, its a REAL bummer to shift without a clutch!!

That's why you occasionally practice clutchless shifting..........

hhhhhmmm... Yeah... I  have done that on the street.... Killing the engine at the stop light, then using the starter to fire the engine in 1st gear.   BUT... have you ever tried to get off of a rockcrawling trail with NO clutch?  Please describe how you "feather" your truck with your starter?  :yikes:
