2023 MT Supra Clutch Replacement Options

[Tacoma714]

Sucks to hear but thanks for the report. Seems to be no good options for mid power yet.

I fear there might never be a good choice or excellent support for an aftermarket clutch with the amount of MKV’s made and sold. I’m wondering if clutch manufacturers just don’t see it as profitable therefore don’t invest any money into developing a good aftermarket clutch.

Clutchmasters aka Clutchdisasters aka Suckmasters, etc.. ?


They've had a terrible rep in the MKIV community forever.

My local shop told me to stay away from them. That they’ve had issues with past clients on the MKV. Then you have people on YouTube putting on Clutchmasters and they seem happy. I’m not even sure what to believe anymore.

I'm wondering if the Drift Motion or Spec might be good for mid power <500lbs-ft torque

Here is a good question maybe we can get a poll up: Knowing now how hard it is to find an aftermarket clutch to push more power, do you regret buying a 6MT instead of an automatic (easier to push power)?

I had 2 of their clutches back in the day on my Neon SRT-4. Both shit the bed in under a year. Went with ACT after that and had zero issues. That clutch was still in the car going strong years later when I sold the car.

Moral of the story: I will never buy another clutchmasters clutch again.

ACT came out with a clutch for TJ Hunt when he got his manual MKV he drifted for a quick minute before he sold it. I haven’t heard anything from ACT about one being available to the public. I wonder why.

No regrets, been driving MT 25 years. I do want a little more power but nothing crazy. There have been manual B58 engines in the past, so I would think those would fit? Also with the advent of the manual Z4, hoping that means more support.

Good point on the manual z4. That might be enough motivation for an ACT or other more reputable companies to release a clutch to the aftermarket.

I got the Uni Clutch in the mail, but they basically screwed me over.

I confirmed with their reps over 3 times if there’s anything I would need other than the clutch for the install, and they said no.

Come to waiting a month for clutch and getting it, they apparently need a fitment plate that they sell that I would need to mount the clutch.

They never said I would need a fitment plate, and they confirmed that everything I would need would be included with the clutch.

Upon receiving the package, there was nothing in there other than the clutch itself. Not even the alignment kit for it or anything.

Currently going through their support to see what’s going on.

Update:

forgot to write an update before, but I got the uniclutch in with all the parts and had it installed.

I also did the full break in of it. At first, the clutch seemed way too soft and different, but after driving it for a couple hundred miles it feels just like OEM.

I feel like something messed with the synchros or something a little, after shifting into first, and releasing the clutch, the shift handle moves like an inch more forward into 1st.

But other than that the clutch is perfect, it’s rated for over 1000 tq, and it has 0 slip with what I am running, which is full bolt ons and E50, making about 600 torque or so.

I’m very satisfied with it, and would highly recommend it.

If anyone is interested in it message me and I can tell you the process I went through to get one.

Great to hear that you got it situated out!
IIRC you mentioned something about them screwing you over either not including the fitment plate or forgot about it.

Could you give us the insight for potential future buyers?
I could be interested if its stock feel that hold more torque
