If you have a 22R or 22RE engine, the flywheel is the same from at least 1977 to 1992 (except with the 22R-TE with the R151F trans). They all use an 8-7/8" disk and have the same overall diameter, mounting pattern and tooth count. If you want to upgrade the clutch a little bit you can use the 93 -'95 flywheel that uses a larger 9-5/16" disk. I just put a flywheel from a '95 22RE on my '85 22R motor and installed a clutch kit for '93 -'95 22RE's and it's working great. JT Outfitters sells a clutch kit on eBay with disk, pressure plate, T/O bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool for $97.95. It's a Daikin with a Japanese Nachi T/O bearing and a Taiwan pilot bearing. Autozone wanted $129 for a Duralast set with a limited lifetime warranty, but I'd rather deal with a toyota specialist and fellow enthusiast like Mike at JT or Marlin Czajkowski, especially if the price is competitive.

About the problem you described though, it sounds like a transmission problem. If it was the clutch, I think it would happen mo metter what gear you had the trans in. -- Matt
