The big question is why are you sourcing general purpose street machine parts from a performance rock crawler company????? The parts they sel lare aimed at the extreme offroad market - NOT general purpose street machines. Buy an OEM part from your local dealer or parts jobber like Napa or whoever. You do not need or want competition parts - they are not necessarily better parts for your application, and most likely worse.
PUT AN OEM CLUTCH IN THE DAMNED THING AND BE DONE WITH IT!!!
Seems like RS Wood in another guise.

Makes sense. I didn't know what I know now when I asked.
At this point, the right clutch kit is an Aisin 900 foot pound kit.
The 5-piece Aisin OEM kit is here for $170 (TDT-C-95-04-2.7)
The best prices I can find at a Toyota dealer online is $225 sans the alignment tool: Required:
312503540084 - DISC $73.03 312103520084 - PRESSURE PLATE $93.21 903631200277 - PILOT BEARING $6.34 3123035091 - RELEASE BEARING $51.72Optional:
1340575040 - FLYWHEEL $356.37 3120420071 - RELEASE FORK $26.72 1345320010 - RING GEAR $111.04He who is Clare Snyder said on Wed, 15 Nov 2017 20:17:11 -0500:
This is good advice.
I want the BEST parts, which is why I was LOOKING at Marlin Crawler, but I didn't know, until now, that they're just for specialty stuff.
You'll notice I use "good" quality stuff so that's all I had wanted.
I agree with you. Marlin Crawler is the wrong place to go. Now the question is what's a good clutch.
The OEM is Aisin 900 pounds. Googling, I find plenty of substitutes. I can pick - but I don't know how to pick a clutch kit?
What do I look for? a. Steel springs? b. Friction material? c. What?

OK. That makes sense in racing, where a split second clutch engagement is meaningful. So if it's speed of engagement, I'm ok with that as a benefit.
But it's not needed on the road - so why couldn't Marlin Crawler just say so when I asked?
No no no. What I meant is that for an engine that is already designed to use 87AKI (or whatever the anti-knock index is in your country), using
92AKI isn't going to do anything if the engine is running to spec.It's just a waste of money. Just like this 1200 pound pressure plate seems to be.
Thanks. What I like about that answer is that it follows logic. I love logic.
I don't know Marlin Crawler stuff at all, so I don't automatically associate them with racing. I just associate them with Toyota aftermarket.

SOLVED.
Q: What's the difference between 1200# & 900# pressure plate? A: Nothing practical. 1200 engages faster for racing purposes.
Q: Do you bother replacing pressure plate bolts? A: Nope. Just loc-tite red.
Q: What about the flywheel? A: Just have it machined if it's scored. Otherwise keep it.
Q: What's a good kit to get for an on-road Toyota? A: Not the $300 Aisin Marlin Crawler kit. A: Maybe the $170 Aisin lowrangeoffroad kit is better? A: OEM costs about twice that at the best dealer (and no alignment tool).
