clutch

[gater75]

Ok, my clutch sometimes slips when i am starting from a stop. I have heard in order to adjust, you have to pull the motor. Would it be better to just put in a new clutch. Or is there an easy way to adjust?

There might be an easier way. The slave cylinder (on the passenger side of the block) has a pushrod that can be adjusted to compensate for clutch wear. Find a Haynes manual (or better, a factory Toyota manual) and it tells how to set it up.

Make sure you have proper free-play. If not then back off aforementioned adjustment.
