Received word from the mechanic. Small air bubble in the line. Pedal didn’t feel spongy at all but they said they couldn’t replicate the issue once the fluid was drained and refilled. Hoping that’s all this was. If any future updates, will post here.

Sure am.

You’re definitely right. My weekends might offset it a bit but will have to keep that in mind when choosing the Supra over the daily in the mornings. Let’s see what happens next week (hopefully). Will keep the thread updated once I find out what the shop has to say.

I’m asking what he had in mind, had no plans on bringing anything to Toyota. Post is about my clutch but since you brought it up, short drives 3 times a week and car gets driven plenty during the weekend. Glad to know you don’t think it’s related though 😂.

What issues did you have in mind? Potential for a lemon?

Car hasn’t been driven since. It’ll be dropped off on Friday via tow. Yes, first time getting a clutch installed. Never needed to have one installed before. First failed stock clutch.

Exactly that. It acts as if the clutch isn’t being pressed at all. Fully locked out of all gears when on. Car has been sitting since Friday and now when turned on it goes into all gears but I’m assuming if I drive it around the problem will return. Brake and clutch do feel normal though. No...

If it was install related… how would you (or anyone else willing to add their 2 cents) deal with that? Never dealt with such a situation before. Let’s say if the clutch is truly fried.

lol did you say “super duper”? You must be a troll. People like you are the reason why people say the car community sucks. I never said it was unlikely the shop made a mistake. That’s why it’s being brought back there this Friday. Change your condescending tone bud, horrible representation of...

Not sure if this adds to diagnosis but turned the car on today, gears go in smoothly while parked. Very hesitant to drive the car though obviously. Thinking of driving to the end of the block and seeing if it happens again. Live on a dead end so I’m somewhat comfortable testing a little. Any...

Nope, No clutch stop installed.

Clutch/brake fluid is at ideal level when cold. But yes, there might be air in the system somehow/someway. Was just going to call Triple A and bring it back to the shop. Would be surprised if the release bearing went “bad” after ~2k miles but who knows. If it was clutch release bearing, would...

Not really sure how my shifts would be problematic if I’m being honest. This is the only car where clutch has failed on me. Never shifting egregious and my shifts are smooth. So unless this cars ideal shifts are completely different then any other car, will have to dismiss that. Never popped...

Yea, seems like a tow from NY to CT is what’s going to happen unfortunately. I’ve seen threads on the release bearing issue but would that take 2k miles for it to show up on my car? I’ll add the car was driving great until this happened.

Car has 31k total miles. The original clutch was taken out at 29k miles. It was on its last legs. Power levels were stock until the new clutch was installed. Now it’s set up with MHD OTS stage 2 & flex fuel. Been filling car up with e40-50.

Adding to “won’t drive away from me” or “creep” thing. When turning car on and already in gear, let’s say 1st or reverse - the clutch disengages normally and will drive off as I let go of the clutch pedal. Just won’t go into gear again after getting out of that gear (It’s how I got it in my...

Hey all. Replaced my clutch 2k miles ago with PTBs ORG+ORG DMF. Standard pressure plate. As of today, car is not going into any gear when the car is on. Went for a normal drive this PM, wasn’t even pushing the car, just a leisurely drive and felt the gears were going in a bit rough. Stopped at...

Had to respond to this one. 23 MT owner here. Bought it new. Proper break-in. Car now has 28k on the dash. Never had a clutch fail in 15 years of driving different sports cars. This car on the other hand, having only been modded with a catless DP, has been having the clutch slip for the last 5k...

Apologies for the odd post but does anyone have a link to the PTB clutch replacement ? Previous links in posts are no longer working and google is of no help. Are they still selling direct to consumer? thanks

Yea that would be cool. I live in Bellmore.
