I'm making this its own thread for search purposes, just another story of a clutch disc losing a spring on a 3SGTE swap with the S54 tranny.

The swap had 30k on it, I am unsure if the clutch was new when it was swapped or if it was used, but I'm assuming it was new. So 30k and dead...

PICS:














If you look up the name ASCO it directs you to Aisin which is the OEM manufacturer for Toyota Clutches. This tells me that a quality, performance clutch is necessary for a 3SGTE swapped with an s54. I know most people already know that, but I just wanted to add another story and some more proof to the argument.

Same thing happened to my F1 Racing Clutch that was on my 5s. It was only in for 1,500 miles too. The way those are designed is really sh!tty. Went with OEM after that happened and its been fine for the past year now.
