Celica Forums General Discussion General how to tell if you need a new clutch?

Just what the title says

I think it might be time for a new clutch at 55K. Not sure tho, anyone know the signs of a weared out clutch?

you should be able to tell...
shift shitty, not smooth...i'm not too sure

Hmm. not too sure too. I just got mine replace (after 45K mile on it, but I bought it used with 45K miles on it), only because when I took it to the dealer for a tranny concern, they told me that I needed to change the clutch.
I couldn't really tell, but since they were not going to charge for labor, I only paid around $300 for the clutch.

i need to get a new clutch on my car =[ you can tell if your rpms rise fast in higher gears with your mph barly changing
ex) 4th gear reving at 3 gran floor it and if your rpm go up fast to 4 the drop a little then go up again then it is time for a new clutch. other wise don't keep doin that cause it strains the motor from what i heard. (if you understand what i said at all cause i am terrible at explaining things) also if your car has 12k or less miles then you might be able to get it under warrenty cause it is a wear part so they don't warrenty it up to 36k good luck

btw, what would be a good street racing clutch for my 2000 GT?

The factory clutch is a really good clutch. Anything more would be overkill and shorten the life of your clutch. More is always better except when you buy a clutch. Remember that.


As for signs of a bad clutch, your clutch will engage when the pedal is almost all the way releases. With a new clutch, you let the pedal go about an inch and the clutch engages. It takes some getting used to, trust me.

Also, your RPM's will rise a lot faster without your car accelerating fast. In other words, your RPM's will climb high while you are still going like 2 MPH.

Also, if your clutch is really shitty, when at really high RPM's, your clutch may slip all together and your car will redline without you going anywhere.

It could start to Schtink too...eww i hate the smell of a clutch

I knew I needed a new clutch when my RPM were reving high but my speed beraly increase.. I lost power in all my power gears. (1st 2nd and 3rd) Its horible.. if your car is doing that.. then you should drive your car like a lady cause that clutch will burn out at any minute.. I didn't so thats why my car is still at the shop!..

Hum I had the same question when my clutch brun out.. hum this guys recomemded me the ACT Street.. so thats what I got.. once I have it install, I'll tell you if there is any difference.. OK..

PS: I'm getting my clutch today.. hehe I have being waiting for it over 3 weeks now.. but today is the day!

Whatever you get, don't get a pucked clutch or a clutch that is meant for the friggin space shuttle.
