Topic: totally custom clutch!!!

[toyotanner]

so i just bought another toyota its an 83 4wd all it needed was a clutch. the guy couldnt figure out what was wrong with it cause he just put a new clutch in.... well i started tearing into it and noticed only 1 bolt was holding the engine to the tranny and there was about a 3/4" gap between the motor and tranny on the bottom side  ...  there were also no retaining clips on the clutch fork to the Throwout bearing.

have a couple questions too... will a 20r clutch work on a 22r? and i have never looked around but can you buy the retaining clips anywhere?

AND HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN I PULLED IT OUT!

same clutch  and you can get the clips from the dealer  or change to the 88 and later t/o bearing   

[toyotanner [OP]]

will the 88 and later t/o bearing work with my fork?

[RABIDYOTA]

not shure about the 83 but 85 and later use the same fork  if it fits on and moves smoothly you should be fine

oh man, was it being driven with the engine and tranny like that? thats rediculous. that poor truck must have been neglected for a long time    the p.o.

the guy put the whole new clutch setup together and on its 1st trip out into his field blew it up

i can tell from looking at it it was new, and  the fork went into the pressure plate, hence  exploding i would be surprised it the input shaft wasn't damaged

poor clutch disc disintegrated

That blows bigtime. Good thing it didnt do more damage.

oh THATS what the retaining cips are for...............

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

I dont know how the fork went around the throwout bearing? if I remember right my fork wont fit over the bearing to hit the pressure plate even without the clips.....I could be wrong....

[boggerunner]

if u need the clips i have a few laying around.  pm me

[toyotanner [OP]]

i would totally hit you up on that offer for the retaining clips but i'm kind of in a hurry... havent gone to the dealership yet can you homebrew a retaining clip?
