Need opinions on replacing clutch please
Hey,
I have a 2014 Scion FR-S just about to hit 100k miles. The clutch and throw out bearing need to be replaced and they are stock from factory. I use my Scion as a daily driver but I also like to have some fun and drift with it, or at least attempt to drift. I put shy of 30k miles a year on it and so my questions are- 1- which clutch do you recommend for someone driving like me? I’m currently looking at duralast from autozone (cheaper option) and the exedy pro kit. I’m open to any suggestions here however. 2- Should I replace the flywheel as well since I’m going to have to drop the transmission anyway? Thank you. |

For your type of driving, I would suggest you replace the clutch and pressure plate with the OEM parts. Make sure they (you) replace the TOB with the new, improved one. I doubt the flywheel needs replacing, maybe resurfacing, depending on its condition. Also, be sure to lub the clutch fork. Congratulations on getting 100k out of your TOB! humfrz |

Exedy OEM replacement clutch (comes with new TOB) + flywheel.
The general rule of thumb is either replace the flywheel or have it resurfaced before the new clutch goes in. Replacing it is usually easier and you don't have to have the car on stands while the flywheel is machined, especially for a DD. Only other thing would be to make sure you get new gearbox fluid too, as can be easily overlooked and needs to come out when you drop the transmission. If you are interested in any of the short throw shifter kits, or the mtec shifter springs, it's a good time to do it too.
