I asked to have an OEM pressure plate put on since the last one worked so well. I got the truck back and the amount of force needed to push the clutch in is now half what it was with the old stock clutch. Since I don't remember what it felt like when it was new I can't really say if this is normal or not. I'd like to think its normal, but its so much easier than before. Anyone experienced this before with a stock clutch? Thanks D 97 T100 SR5 5spd SC TRD Headers 115k miles.

Supposedly the difference is the old pressure plate is old and grimy and this makes it harder to push due to friction. This is how it was explained to me anyway my Marlin. I haven't found a reason not to believe it yet.

I was shocked at how little force I need to depress the pedal. I thought something was really wrong because there is almost no resistance; well, maybe about 30% of what the old original clutch was. It seems to be working so far -800 miles. 1997 T100 4x4 SR5 5spd Moderated by  4x4Wire, Dandeman, ErikB, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
