Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a 2002 Tacoma 2.7?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 16956A for the 1995-2004 Tacoma with the 2.7-liter four, including the PreRunner, and the 2001-2004 Tacoma with the 2.4-liter four. It also covers the 1996-2000 4Runner and the 1994-1998 T100 with the 2.7-liter engine and a manual gearbox.

Is a cushion button cerametallic clutch good off road?

It holds well under load and resists heat, which helps with big tires and towing. Engagement is firmer than an organic disc, so slow rock crawling takes more care, although the cushion-button disc is easier to modulate than a puck design.

How much power will this truck clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 16956A at 371 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 309 lb-ft at the wheels from 1,985 lb of clamp load. That is far above a stock 2RZ or 3RZ and suits a supercharged truck or one running heavy loads.

Does it fit the V6 Tacoma?

No. The 16956A is listed for the four-cylinder trucks only. The V6 Tacoma of 2005 onward uses the larger 275 mm EXEDY 16957A with a six-puck disc, and the 1993-1994 T100 V6 is covered by the cushion-button 16956B, so check the engine before ordering.

What else should be replaced with the clutch?

Replace the release bearing and pilot bearing, and resurface or replace the flywheel, because the transmission and transfer case come out together on four-wheel-drive trucks. Check the hydraulic lines and slave cylinder too, since the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch asks more of an older system.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner and T100 2.4L / 2.7L (Cushion Button Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner and T100 2.4L / 2.7L fits the four-cylinder trucks built around the 2RZ and 3RZ engines, a combination often supercharged or fitted with big tires for off-road use. The 250 mm cushion-button cerametallic disc is rated at 371 lb-ft at the flywheel, which leaves a generous margin for a hard-working truck.

Design and Performance

A ductile-cast cover with 1,985 lb of clamp load drives a 250 mm cushion-button cerametallic disc on the 21-tooth, 29.8 mm spline, for 502 lb-ft of clutch torque by EXEDY figures. The cushion-button disc and sprung center damper make take-up more controllable than an open puck design, which matters when moving a heavy truck at walking pace.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
