A91-MT CLUTCH GONE💀☠️😵🏴‍☠️🪦

[sstevecc82]

There is a reason why the dealership says those parts are not warrantable. So I'm assuming that you don't have pictures of old parts?

Apparently for Toyota

Definitely time to sell it…

$3,995 every time you need to replace a defective clutch for a Toyota. Time to buy a Porsche.

after a dealer inspection the answer is you pay for parts.

so much chatter in here, stop going left right up down and post some videos. Only a hand full of people said they have issues out of the hundreds of manuals out in the wild. Theres people running jb4 and tracking the shit out of the car no issues. Anyways, i'll let yall panic sell and turn over to a new patch of sheeps.

Don't worry.. Video is going to Youtube

Soooo, a Porsche clutch replacement cost is somehow less than a BMW?

You have aquariums don't you?

I've actually never had an aquarium. I just haven't used that word in a while and felt pretty sure nobody that owns a Z would understand it.

Only thing I can think of is that, the dealership found that those parts are abused by a customer. You should ask them for pictures, if those parts are ok and have normal wear. Contact toyota customer service and explain to them what's going on.

My problem with dealership employees judging if a clutch is defective, or more importantly under spec'd, vs abused is they are going to look the same unless some part physically broke. Whether the clutch is slipping because it's not up to the task or the clutch was slipped from abuse it's going to show the same signs of overheating. What explanation is the dealership/manufacturer going to use? The one that gets them out of paying for it every time.

I have a feeling these "slipping clutches" are going to get as blown out of proportion as the 21s oil consumption issue.

I was thinking this exact same thing a couple hours ago.

That's reasonable for a dealership and it being a BMW.

I'm sure there will be some solutions soon enough.

That's why I asked for pictures, so I/We can tell if the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel has been abused or not. As a technician that works at a dealership, it's my job to figure out what caused components to fail. Not sure how Toyota corporate does their warranty repairs. But for Ford, some of the powertrain warranty repairs need to be submitted (pictures/what caused it to fail) to ford and they decide if it's going to be a warrantable repair or not. To be fair, I do get lots of vehicles that come in for warranty repairs and ended up being COD repairs. Also If it's regular customers, we usually try to take care of them.

This has been a somewhat common issue (few mentioned having something like this happen to them) with the manual as well. Both clutch and shifter malfunctions are unacceptable for the Supra to have. Just figured I’d share this for the peeps here as I know i saw the info mentioned in another thread without any photos or videos.
