Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / October 2005Clutch Replacement - 93 Toyota PickUp (2 Wheel Drive)
I am going to replace my clutch this weekend on my 93 Toyota Pickup. It is a 2 wheel drive and as basic as they came in that year. There is a package that I can buy at Napa and I think it is like $150.00. I have two questions 1. For some time now I have had a whining type noise coming from the tranny area. I have been told it is a throw-out bearing and that it can be easily replaced once the transmission is off. Is this true? Does this sound logical? 2. I have never replaced a clutch before but am definitely mechanically inclined and have done alot of maintenance type work on cars before. I hear on this particular model it is really easy to get all of this done. What I am wondering is if I am going to run into any "gotchas" on the job. As in is there anything in particular I should look out for? Is this replacement pretty straightforward or am I getting into something that I will regret? Thanks for the assistance everyone.....

Does > this sound logical? Yes, it's true, and yes it sounds logical. The throw out bearing will make noise when you apply -- depress -- the clutch pedal. > 2.

You might be getting in over your head, but you said that you have done this sort of thing before, so you should be okay. >I am going to replace my clutch this weekend on my 93 Toyota Pickup.

At idle with the clutch pedal depressed and the clutch disengaged? If so, the throw-out bearing should be checked. If it happens with the clutch engaged, then something else is the culprit. If you are going to replace the clutch, you might as well do the throwout bearing while you are at it, especially if you sit at stop signs with the clutch pedal depressed instead of shifting into neutral and engaging the clutch. > 2.

What's the life expectancy of the pilot bushing/ bearing on the end of the crankshaft? The pilot bearing is one more little piece that's easy to do at the same time (though they can be a bear to get the old one out of the hole). But if it starts making noise later, you have to take the whole darned thing apart again to get at it. >> 2.

Do NOT get yourself into a "Do Or Die" situation, that way leads to madness... Don't start the job with the car parked at the curb if it's a Tow Away Zone Monday through Friday - you need to do the work in a garage or on a piece of driveway that can be safely occupied for a while just in case. If you run into unexpected problems and have to bail out of the job halfway till you locate the parts, have a plan to get to work next week. Either make advance arrangements to borrow a 'spare car' from friends or family, or pre-arrange a carpool ride, or check out the weekly rate from Rent-A-Wreck. --<< Bruce >>-- SignatureBruce L.

The pilot bearing should last the life of the vehicle but, Bruce's advice is very good. If you are going to be rootin' around in there, replacing the pilot bearing at the same time can save lots of time later. >>> 2.

The whining noise starts as soon as I get to 5mph. It is always apparent but reduces as soon as I push in my clutch. It almost sounds like it could be near the drive train or differenctial. It definitely feels like the whining is coming from right behind my seat on the drives side....hope this helps.

While the noise is apparent, shift into neutral and coast - if the noise is still there, it may be internal in the transmission, like an input shaft bearing. SignatureRay O correct the return address punctuation to reply My humble advice is that you replace the throw out bearing and pilot bearing since you are in there anyway. It's much easier and cheaper to do these bearings with the clutch then to pull all of that crap off again later. Now, given what you just said in your post that I am replying to, I'm not sure your throw out bearing is the source of your noise. I'm leaning to the transmission itself since the whine goes away when you use the clutch -- and change the loading on the transmission when the clutch pedal is depressed. <sorry to trim and top post, but that's just the way I am) > I will be doing this in my garage at my house so I am good on that > front....but thanks for bringing it up....logstics are important!!
