the time has come for me to change my clutch at 354000km, now wanted to know if aftermarket clutch quality are them same. Was going to get a clutch kit and I was looking on rockauto there is one for 85 and |I guest better quality ones for over 100$. My yaris is a daily driver, nothing fancy lots of highway driving. Looking for a good price that also offers good quality. Any feedback from other members how have changed there and reviews with what to looks for or brands recommend. Thanks.

$85 for a clutch kit, or a clutch disc?
I wouldn't cheap out on a clutch. Trying to save $50 will not be cost-effective if you have to tear it apart to replace a defective throw-out bearing etc. Also more likely to wear the expensive flywheel, and have clutch shudder with cheaper friction material. I typically put Exedy clutches in Japanese cars and have great results. They make a lot of OEM clutches.

Cheers.

True^. A new clutch kit from Toyota should work fine for you.

thanks guy for the info, I will look into the exedy and oem clutch. The 85$ one was a complete clutch kit. I figured since the OEM one lasted this long, might as well stick with that brand, but wanted to see what else was as good or better than the original.
