    Default 18rgeu with w55 clutch slippage. Suggest a good clutch

    howdy, i have a ra63 celica with a 18rgeu bolted to a w55. The clutch has alot of slippage and would like some suggestions as to a good clutch also price with be good. It's for normal street use so don't intend on using a racing clutch.

    just get the standard one, or maybe get a heavier duty pressure plate if you want. the standard one is good, it's the same as the early six cylinders so it can actually take a bit of torque.

    if it's a daily driver you won't want a harsh or heavy clutch, you'd get sick of it very quick.
    beer me!

    exedy with a bit more pressure if you going to drive it hard and up the power! otherwise a standard exedy for you model will be fine!
