Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a six-speed FJ Cruiser?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 16957 for the 2007-2014 FJ Cruiser with the 4.0-liter V6, including the 2007 TRD Special Edition and the 2008 Trail Teams Special Edition. The kit uses a 275 mm disc and the 21-tooth, 29.8 mm input spline.

How much power will the FJ Cruiser clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 16957 at 450 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 360 lb-ft at the wheels, from 2,068 lb of clamp load. That covers a supercharged 1GR-FE with large tires and regular towing, with margin left for heat.

Is it good for rock crawling?

It holds well and resists heat, but engagement is firmer than the factory clutch, so slow clutch work takes more care. Many FJ owners pair a stronger clutch with lower gearing so that the truck crawls on the gears rather than on the clutch.

Does it fit the Tundra?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 16957 for the 2005-2006 Tundra Base and SR5 with the 4.0-liter V6 and a manual gearbox, which shares its clutch size and spline with the FJ Cruiser. The V8 Tundra is not on the application list for this kit.

What is the difference between the 16957 and 16957A?

Both share the 275 mm size, 21-tooth spline and EXEDY ratings. The 16957 uses a thick full-face disc and is listed for the FJ Cruiser and Tundra, while the 16957A uses a six-puck disc and is listed for the 2005-2011 V6 Tacoma, where this EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch layout differs.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Toyota FJ Cruiser and Tundra 4.0L V6 (Thick Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Toyota FJ Cruiser and Tundra 4.0L V6 is built for the six-speed FJ Cruiser that wears big tires, armor and a supercharger, and for the 2005-2006 manual Tundra V6. The 275 mm thick cerametallic disc is rated at 450 lb-ft at the flywheel, far beyond the 1GR-FE in stock form and suited to trucks that work hard off road.

Design and Performance

A ductile-cast cover with 2,068 lb of clamp load drives a 275 mm thick cerametallic disc on the 21-tooth, 29.8 mm spline, for 563 lb-ft of clutch torque by EXEDY figures. The thick disc stores more heat, which is what a heavy FJ needs when it climbs loaded or slips the clutch on a trail, and the sprung center damper softens take-up.

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.
