Howdy y'all,
I'll be spending my weekend replacing the clutch in my 2009 KDJ120 after my clutch finally gave up the ghost last weekend. I've not done any drivetrain work in my previous vehicles, and this is my first attempt at work on a 4WD. I've done quite a bit of my own work in the past using what I've learned from my Dad, my own mistakes, forums and youtube. I've bought the Toyota Service Manual and read it, looked for youtube vids and scoured this forum for tips/how to from previous posts but come up pretty empty.
I plan on doing the work in my carport, machining the flywheel, replacing the rear main seal - standard stuff. I'm also using a standard clutch rather than a HD. I mainly drive on the beach or on bush tracks in SEQ with no plans for hauling a trailer. I've been getting mixed advice on HD vs Standard, and decided that Standard will suit my needs. And, if i do the work myself, I can change to HD if the need ever arises.
Before I make a big mistake, is there something about the 120 that keeps people from tackling this job themselves? Any hints or advice? If i find the time during the replacement, i'll take good notes, photos and try to contribute my lessons learned.
Cheers boys
Jeremy
