BLOWN CLUTCH! TOYOTA WARRANTY?

[@BennyLC79]

Good video m8, glad you went the heavy duty clutch. I would have done the same. Given mine was under warranty with no mods, i decided to do normal clutch. I did not even have a tow bar. They were ready to try and blame it on me towing heavy loads etc. So they were going to get me to send in info on what i was towing like weight etc/loads 🤣🤣

[@BennyLC79]

Finally got it back after 2 weeks. So far all is good 👍

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Cheers mate, yeah they try anything to get out of warranty hey! And even if you were towing, isn't that what they are built for? These business practices are dirty and very shady. It really annoys me and I can't stand dealing with these dealers when it comes to servicing and warranty work, they act so dumb it's ridiculous!

[@BennyLC79]

Totally agree mate 👍

381000 kms so far on original clutch 2008 v8 cruiser!!!!

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Awesome mate 👌

[@shalininaicker]

I had a 2004 Hilux purchased in 2006 with 36000 kms on the clock , sold it in 2019 with 316000 still had original clutch.

Beauty 👌

[@adampowell4867]

There is no power to wear it out 😊

[@CliveRose26]

I think the sad reality is that Toyota knows that most of their buyers will be city/Suburban shop crawlers so it would never be worth for them to put in a heavy duty clutch. It's a shame that the minority who use these rigs for what they are designed to do get punished because of the majority who buy these Utes and Wagons just because they are what is considered "fashionable". At minimum Toyota should be at least offering a factory upgrade to a more heavy duty clutch because it is a joke how something as major as a clutch can break/wear out so easily when the vehicle is driven they way it is advertised to be used. Do better Toyota

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Where I live these LandCruiser's are used in the mines, fleets, cattle stations and general remote bush work along with other vehicles of course. Definitely agree they should be fitted with a better clutch from factory.

[@putrol4.2]

Toyota clutch failure is very common

[@robkay9227]

Common problem The noise is gear rollover The standard clutch has a anti rattle mechanism in the The replacement may not Next time it makes the noise put the tranny case in neutral select four gear and left the clutch out If the noise isn’t there is it’s gear rollover Common problem Will be worse when hot

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thankyou mate 👍

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, it’s a bloody shame you pay a big price for the vehicle then have to upgrade the clutch, don’t add up really, I’ve heard of quite a few having to do this…

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Some people don't have a problem, it's frustrating for me having to replace it so soon. 😡

[@fatmanoverlanding]

I realise your vehicle is slightly modified, but your minor mods killed the clutch on a relatively new vehicle? Really? I think there is some manufacturing defect to it somewhere. I personally think it's not good enough from Toyota to use every excuse under the sun to decline your warranty request. They charge enough for the 70 Series, the least they can do is provide exemplary customer service to their loyal customers.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I agree with you 💯%

[@lionelbastien2567]

Yours vidéos its very good. I'm live in french, end i'm love your vidéos 👍🛻

Typical bs from Toyota

[@OutbackOutlaw]

I my sure they’ve seen this issue a fair bit. Toyotas are everywhere in the NT.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I would have thought so to mate.

[@OutbackOutlaw]

@@OutbackOffroadNT yeah they stung ya. But you are better off now with a better clutch.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah look I wasn't going with an oem replacement.

[@ZeusGil-d4x]

Release bearing needs replacement

[@motorsportfreak1]

The 70 V8 clutch has and always will be the worst production clutch on the market. If you buy a V8 70 you just have to accept you need to buy a clutch as well as all the other things.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah it's a strange thing, like I said some people have dramas others don't.

[@Blakesvz]

Wow 😯 I didn’t think that the clutch would break first, good that everything turned out in the end though hey! 😅

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

yeah mate. Get rid of that weak factory clutch haha, she'll be sweet now!

[@FelixRichardson]

I mean u sort of said urself u shouldn’t have put the factory cltch back in after fitting the exhust

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I'm not sure what you are talking about, I got a heavy duty clutch put in. This whole video is about that 🤣

[@anbu999]

Read somewhere that the OEM clutch can only handle 450nm max which is why the manual HD-T, HD-FTE and V8 diesel all capped to 430 nm from the factory.

[@rollyb5061]

your new clutch will do the job perfect, with factory clutches it's luck of the draw, most are great

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah hopefully she'll be all good mate!

[@jumzjumzjumz]

It's a shame Toyota 70 series standard clutches don't hold up to any sort of off road work or towing once you go with bigger tyres or "real" world use but it's great to see there are several off road parts ready to go

[@stevenbrown2401]

Did you have a vibration in your drive line before you blew the clutch?

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Nah mate, she was slipping and the bearings were making noises.

[@stevenbrown2401]

@@OutbackOffroadNT thanks

[@reddustadventures]

Thanks for sharing your experience Brother. It’s a hard one isn’t it. Do you get as much as you can out of the OME one or do you get on the front foot and go heavy duty before it fails you out on the tracks. ???? Bloody good vid Brother 👌👌

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, yeah for sure. At least once it's changed out for a good quality HD unit, you know you're all good.

[@LyfovRyan51]

I believe that the dealer should've done the clutch under warranty. I guess I was lucky that despite the exhaust and clutch as well as the modified snorkel I still got an injected arm and censor replaced under warranty with mine. Their refusal to repair yours under warranty is pathetic.

[@RoamingRooma]

Nice vids mate. 35000km already in less than 6 months. You working the old girl hard. Looking forward to the next. Thank you

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Thanks mate, yeah the rig has already done a fair amount of work. Plenty more to come!

[@dustyfarmer]

When I put my TORQIT exhuast on, the clutch started slipping going up hills while accelerating. Put in a NPC 1300Nm in and that fixed the issue. Interestly the the clutch I pulled out was a near new stock Toyota clutch on a new flywheel. My NPC throw out bearing makes noise in 1st when coasting at slow speed, it's a known issue and its a stock Toyota throwout bearing.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

That's interstate mate, good to know I'm hoping it stays fairly quiet from here on out...

[@nigelmorgan3449]

I can’t understand why your stuffing the clutch. I had a G60 in the 70s Nissan I used do a lot of water crossings and the thrust bearing used to seize I think in one year I did 4. I now have a Navara 350k and still the same clutch I put it down to not ridding the clutch

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah not sure mate, I've done a heap of water crossing lately... but like I said in the video, some people have dramas with the oem clutch, some don't.

[@roberthocking9138]

A lot of the wind noise on my ranger was the snorkel, I don’t use it for rough bush bashing so the next ranger I bought I didn’t fit one. Much better. Considering the cost of those trucks it should last a min of 100 K klm

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

That's the go mate, they can be noisy hey.

[@VaughanMunro-js4nr]

Good decision going with Terrain Tamer. They are a great product with excellent service and backup. Like the Maxtrax installation. Great Video.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Yeah I agree mate, I like Terrain Tamer gear. Thankyou much appreciated 🫡

[@matttasmania9506]

Thats a bit rough go mate. I just changed my clutch( newish heavy duty clutch) at new years after apparently clutch damper wasn't working as it should slowly cooked my clutxh quietly. I noticed symptoms to late and replaced master am slave an bypassed the dampner. New clutch in etc and I cause there's no damper all I can hear is my clutch subtle whirring as it engages under my feet every gear change. 😅still not 100% its fixed ill take it for 2nd pair of eyes an look it over before I burn this out. Similair kms done and clutch is cooked never experienced that before

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

Farout mate! You'll get it sorted hopefully. Mine is all sweet now, decent clutch and away we go!

[@matttasmania9506]

Yeah I only got just over 24 months so voided warranty. The old warranty hey. Bloody cars are no good when they're not playing the game it can be stressful. Im pretty sure im car cursed things slowly play up eventually and then continue playing up lol

[@tropicsalt.]

I don't know man, might be a bit of operator error in this one. I've had 3 4wd's as my dailies since the mid 90's and never replaced a clutch due to a failure. 2 of the 3 had big tyres.

[@OutbackOffroadNT]

I don't know if you watched the whole vid, this is a fairly common occurrence. Read pinned comment. Some people have absolutely no dramas with these oem clutches, others like myself have problems.

[@tropicsalt.]

Was meant as a bit of tongue in cheek. I should have added at the end, "but none were V8 Cruisers."

[@dgs0011]

I’ve had 33” for 10 years on a 2011 troopy , original std clutch. What on earth ?

Yep, my old man has two Cruisers like I said, he's had no dramas and tows fairly regularly.

You don’t mention if clutch is slipping or not,maybe just had your foot resting on clutching on the highway and got the throw out bearing hot making the noise.Cooled down this morning and now ok.Clutch is like a fuse for the driveline heavy duty clutch can break things if not careful

[@iandibley8032]

​@OutbackOffroadNT Better deal with T.T I had a similar problem with a 2004 Hilux clutch, the problem was insufficient clamp pressure with pressure plate, the composite clutch plate lining glazes causing the slip. My vehicle had 35 k with the clutch out it slipped, no towing or hard work, a clutch specialist rebuilt a pressure plant with increased clamp ,I fitted the refitted the new clutch and the box , no problems 140k still perfect. I was told Toyota to knew about this problem.
