After breaking my driver's handle one day, I modded the driver's side by aligning both pieces and drilling a hole through them, put a big nail (trimmed to size) in there as a support piece. Expoxied the set together...guaranteed not to ever break again under load...unless someone smashes it with a sledgehammer or car wreck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I originally tried to epoxy them together without the nail and it just re-snapped off. I knew then I needed some extra support from some steel/iron! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Haven't used the 2nd set that I got both (factory chrome driver and passenger handles) fer $7. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm tempted to mod those out before I ever install them so it will have some decent support! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

good idea, not like i am short of handles to expiriment on.thanks for the inspiration.

Having just spent an hour under a friend's '95 T-100 trying to figure out whether he needed a new clutch, I am SO glad I found this before he brought it to the shop!! This sounds like it might be the problem - the clutch switch won't engage (the clutch pedal doesn't hit it right, we ended up taping it down); there's a popping noise from the area of the master cylinder when the clutch pedal is pressed and let out; and the transmission won't come out of or go into gear when the engine is running.

Thanks, all! Here's hoping...!

Just wanted to add Part #'s for a different year.

1990 4runner V6 4x4

Clutch sub assembly bracket # 55106-35050 Will fit 1990, 1992-1995 4 runner automatic or manual 4 or 2 wheel drive. Price at dealer $179.02

Clutch spring bushings # 90386-04009 Wil fit 1986- 1995 4runner(and others) Price is cheap, under $5 I think I did not check.

I have the same problem in my 95' T100. The truck is setting on 198k & I thought it may need an entire clutching system overhaul in the near future, but now I'm sure that its the bracket. Know any links or sites where I could find one w/ the price??? I find my local parts houses don't have alot of T100 parts available. I am still planning clutch work in the near future, probably a Centerforce Performance clutch. Any advice or info on these things would be much appreciated.

Dealer. If you need a dealer, call Gettel Toyota. Our friend there will not make you pay double as a walk in the way your local dealer might.

You will not realize any benefit from the centerforce clutch. Use a clutch kit from Aisin or Sachs instead. If properly installed it will stand up to all the torque that your engine can make.

I appreciate the info. I'll be looking into this. Thanks again

so where do you get to the bolts that are left on it, I can't seem to find where they are through the firewall

As I recall, the bracket is held on with the two studs that poke through the firewall that the master cylinder mounts to. Is that what you are asking?
