I actually hate my stock clutch. Engagement is too soft and too high up.

I had a 2000 Celica GTS before the Z, and that had a Fidanza flywheel and TRD "Racing" Flywheel. It grabbed like an inch off the bottom and engaged quickly.




Travis, I read about the master thing on the 07s. Seems 03's never had the problem?

Having engagement low is not what I prefer. I hate having unnecessary pedal travel. I prefer a clutch that grabs no further than half way down.

The JWT I drove was right on the floor. just think of it like the point you have to push your clutch down to in order to start the car. Now think of doing that for every shift. We even called JWT about it and was advised this was normal and the engagement point would come up a bit as the clutch wears..... no thanks

I know what you mean. As much as I liked the Celica's engagement, it started to be a hassle for me. If I was at a stop light and let me foot out even a little bit or too quick, it's stall. But I really feel the stock clutch is too soft/tame for how I'd like it.

Steve's felt nice to me.




Travis, that's definitely not my sister

Also I know I mentioned it somewhere but at the morries meet Travis and I were talking to the service manager. He invited our club to brainered for a track day. As some of you know you just can't go there and use there road course. His club will sponsor us and take care of insurance. It's like 110.00 for a full day with instructor. I think he said it was sept. 2 but I will go in and talk to him again and get all the info.

Hey guy! I made to Minnesota couple days ago. What a trip!!! Z cause me some problems the day arrived. Thank Chris at Morries Nissan for taking care of me.
