I have a 2015 Tacoma, and the throwout bearing is making a chirping sound. It has been doing it for a while, and I thought it was an idler pulley or the fan belt.
But my mechanic has correctly diagnosed it as the throwout bearing.
He wants to put a Luk clutch assembly in. About 300 bucks. But I’m tempted to go with OEM, even though it’s at least twice as much.
Any strong feelings about this decision? It’s a very nice truck with 92,000 miles on it. 6 speed manual. I was quoted about $2000 for the entire job. So I guess it be about $2300 with OEM.
I’m not in any hurry to do it, but I know I will have to at some point.
