Probably like a few others on here, I sometimes get parts from Amayama.
Bought a clutch kit from them which I had recently installed but the throw out bearing failed within a couple of days.
Toyota in the UK don't want to know as bought outside the EU and unknown to me Amayama will only stand by their parts if they have been fitted by a Toyota dealership/certified Toyo technician (teach me for not reading their terms!). Mine was fitted by bog standard Clutch garage so have no comeback. If buying parts outside the EU be aware Toyota UK warranty does not cover them.
Anyhow, to the second part of this.
The bearing is making what can be best described as 'chirping' when engaged. Put slightest pressure on the pedal and all is quiet. Took it back to the garage and they reckon the box needs dropped again and a new bearing. More £££.
I can see in the FSM that there are a couple of ways to adjust the clutch pedal travel and boost rod and was wondering if adjusting these might help remove some of the noise? Had thought about trying a bit of white grease in through the rubber boot and around the fork release/bearing but unlikely to work as think these are sealed bearings.
Thinking it is probably out with the box again but thought would put out for advice on here first.
Still do a fair few miles in the cruiser so a collapsed bearing would be bad.
Appreciate any thoughts as usual.
