    Read Toyota OEM clutches are made by LUX. My OEM and 2nd clutch, a Toyota clutch, both lasted ~145,000 miles.

    Any body know the torque for the clutch to flywheel bolts? All I found was torque for clutch to torque plate @ 11 to 15 lbs this doesn't sound right. Now that I think about isn't torque plates used in Automatics?

    I believe I torqued the clutch to flywheel bolts about 45 ft/lbs. The flywheel bolts were a different story, that was about 120 ft/lbs if I remember correctly. I had to get an extra large torque wrench especially for that (which has come in useful in other cases).

    By the way I used a red thread locker on both bolts, it's a type that does not need heat to be removed, but fits stronger than the blue type: ITW Devcon | Permatex Brand High Strength Threadlocker RED Gel in the GEL TWIST
