A warning, autozone clutch!

[ihateu3]

Just as a heads up so no one else has to go through what I did. The clutch kit autozone lists on their website and sells for a 1986 supra is wrong. I went back to their site and looked up 82- I think 88 and every clutch kit was listed the same, except the 1986 (and yes even listed as 2.8). Obviously a mess up on their part, and they argued with me about it, so I just ordered a 1985 clutch from them which of course worked, they cost me an extra $30 on the cherry picker I rented because I had to keep it another day!

lol, you rented a cherry picker to swap your clutch?! Never thought of it! You got any pics?
You shoulda got your clutch from Mark. Forum member discount, great customer service, super quick ship and OEM parts.

You do know from 82-98 non-turbo clutches are interchangeable? There was a slight design change to the pressure plate around 89. They probably gave you a Mk3 turbo clutch which is different.

I am not sure what they gave me, but the pressure plate was slightly smaller that what I need even though it was the same design. I would think the turbo model pressure plate and clutch would be bigger!

Rule #1, never buy a clutch from a generic parts store.
Rule #2, refer to rule #1.
