Put in a new clutch (exedy pro kit, basically stock). Only needed the TOB according to the mechanic, even with 60K miles the actual clutch pieces looked brand new and not even dusty. Bearing was dry and so was the pivot point on the clutch fork.


Sucks having to spend $1100 just for a $10 bearing. We'll see how long the aftermarket TOB lasts, can't help but be better than the original.


Feels good again!

Same thing for me when my TOB started failing. Mechanic told me the clutch and flywheel were in good shape but I still had them put the new ones in so I won't have to worry about them for a long long time

Thank you!

Sorry Leonardo, I should have asked, km or miles. My books' maintenance schedule says at 90,000km.

Did you get to see the old fluid and filter cleanliness?

Just to be clear, ignore those yellow parts in that whiteline youtube. The diff bushes mod I'm talking about are inserts into the oe bushes to reduce that movement you can see. The mod is cheap and simple to do.

Road tripping, got ~39.5mpg from a tank. Mind blown.

39.5mpg?!??!?! Wow!!! It's like have a cool Prius. Good job! For a twin does this count as hypermiling?
How'd you do it? The usual tricks? No jack rabbit starts, avoid stopping, highest gear, no faster than 55mph, no air conditioning, windows up, as few passengers as possible, eat salad, empty trunk, drive with the wind behind you, lots of coasting, and driving within a trucks slipstream (aka drafting)?

[dnieves]

took the car for it\s 30k oil change at Toyota. Car came home leaking oil, screwing up the pavers royally. Funny how the receipt said everything checked out 100% (including no leaks). Gotta call the dealership and bring her back in first thing tomorrow. This car has NEVER had an issue until this. I placed a metal pan under the car and it's definitely coming from the oil drain (no trace of leaks anywhere). If it's cross threaded are they going to find a way to leave me stuck footing the bill to replace the oil pan?

You forgot that maybe the route was all downhill …

Well, that sucks …

If it wasn't leaking when you took it in to have the oil changed and it's now leaking, I reckon they should fix the leak at their expense.

Before you drive it anywhere you best check the oil level. Also, I'd suggest you slip under there and make sure the drain plug is at least finger tight (just in case they forgot to tighten it).

Happened to me twice on a new car and I actually made a thread about it. The drip drip usually stops after a week or so and the volume isn't affected. Now I just tell whoever is changing my oil to make sure the plug is tight.
