I could not disagree with you more. One of the many areas that the LandCruiser excells at is it's rebuildability. If that's even a word. We don't throw away a perfectly good cast iron piece just because a little rubber ring went bad. We buy a brand new rubber ring. Clutch cylinder rebuild kits...
Then again, clutch cylinders are easy to rebuild. Kits are cheap. I bet Kurt has them in stock.
You can drive a LandCruiser quite well without a functioning clutch.
