Description

Overview

The Centerforce DF522018 is a dual friction clutch disc and pressure plate for Toyota 4Runner and Toyota Pickup models from 1985 to 1988 and 1992 to 1995, and for the 1995–2004 Toyota Tacoma.

Dual friction construction provides up to 90% greater holding capacity than OEM. It is suited to higher horsepower or torque, and engagement stays smooth with light pedal effort. A 90 day warranty applies.

Key features

  • Dual friction design
  • Up to 90% increase in holding capacity over OEM, per Centerforce
  • Suited to high horsepower or high torque engines
  • Smooth engagement and light pedal pressure

Matching a clutch to the truck

Toyota 4WD trucks often work hard on rough roads, with loaded beds, trailers or larger tires. A clutch that suits this use needs to handle extra torque and heat without slipping. Think about how the truck is used day to day, since a clutch chosen for trail work may feel different in city traffic.

Before fitting a new disc and pressure plate, check the flywheel, pilot bearing and throwout bearing. Confirm the transmission input shaft and splines match the disc, and use an alignment tool during installation. Keep the hydraulic system free of air and leaks, because a clutch that does not release fully can cause grinding when shifting.

  • Check the flywheel surface
  • Replace the pilot and throwout bearings
  • Bleed the hydraulic system after installation

Questions & Answers

Does the Centerforce DF522018 fit a 1993 Toyota Pickup?

Yes. It fits the 1992–1995 Toyota Pickup, so a 1993 model falls within those years. Confirm fit for your vehicle's year, model and trim before ordering.

Will this set fit a 2001 Toyota Tacoma?

Yes. It fits the 1995–2004 Toyota Tacoma, so a 2001 model falls within those years. Confirm fit for your vehicle's year, model and trim before ordering.

Is the set for high power engines?

Yes. It is suited to engines producing high horsepower or high torque, and it also provides smooth engagement and light pedal pressure for everyday driving.

When should the release bearing be replaced?

The release bearing is often replaced with a new clutch because it is opened up and wears with the disc. Replacing it at the same time avoids another teardown later. A squeal when the pedal is pressed can signal a worn bearing.

Why does a clutch grind when shifting?

Grinding can come from a clutch that does not release fully, air in the hydraulic system, or a worn synchronizer. Check the pedal travel and fluid level first, then have the transmission inspected if the problem continues.
