help po. i have a 03 hiace super grandia. as of now, 70k tinakbo, pero duda ako baka na tampered na ng previous owner. matigas na ang clutch since i bought it. kala ko ganun talaga, pero sabi ng uncle ko nag drive, matigas daw. ano kaya problema? pressure plate,clutch disc and release bearing na? thanks

Baka corroded or laspagin na ang clutch cable (not sure if cable type pa ito). Try mo muna palitan yon, di naman sya ganon kamahal.

i think adjustment ng springs sa pressure plate. kapag maingay, release bearing ang nadale lalu na kung inapakan ang clutch. pero as long as hindi pa nagiiskid ang clutch e tiisin mo muna. kasi kung binuksan mo na yan, it is advised na palitan na lahat yung assembly

Kung matigas lang clutch at cable type pag worn out na dahil minsan napuputol ang strand ng cable kaya tumitigas . Palitan mo na lang ng bago kung matagal na ito at iyong original na pang Toyota.

Just wanna share a lil story.
Believe it or not.
Im taking antibiotic capsule 500mg every six hours and pain reliever as necessary just because of my car's hard clutch.
The inner part of my big toe nail of my left foot had been infected due to repeated pressure every time I step on the clutch. Started a month ago when I went to Manila. Heavy traffic. Stop and go for 4 hours.
Now I've stopped driving for 2 weeks already. My foot is recovering.
But I really need to replace my clutch. Im still getting the funds needed.
I want to replace everything from the clutch master down to the pressure plate and disc. Just to attain that good soft clutch.
I just want to avoid what I am experiencing right now. It really sucks to commute when you have your own car and needed it most of the time.
Quite an experience.

update ko lang, pinababa ko tranny ko. ayun, sira na talaga ang pressure plate and clutch disc kaya palit na ako lahat. pati na rin release and pilot bearing, may signs na na masisira na. so now, ok na clutch ko. hindi na matigas..

How much did it cost? Sa dealer ba ginawa or outside mechanic?

Just did inquire at the dealer and the quoted price is 9K+ for the pressure plate, disc and bearing and labor is 5K.
