It's a worthwhile upgrade (IMHO) - the BJ8's diaghprgam clutch is superior.

The differences between the earlier flywheel and the BJ8 - there are 3 dowel 
holes rather than 2, and they are in a different cicle.  Also, the 6 clutch 
cover mount holes are in a different cicle, and are a different bolt size. 
Understandably, it would be easier to use a BJ8 flywheel, but if one is not 
available, the earlier one can be modified to take the later clutch by a 
competent machine shop.  Either way, this conversion can be done with either 
the original gearbox / overdrive, or the Toyota 5 speed conversion.

Bill Bolton may well be able to help you - he may have lightened BJ8 
flywheels available.  If you need his contact info, let me know.

Try it, you'll like it!

Hi All,

I am going to be replacing my clutch soon and I was wondering if the BJ8
clutch fits the earlier 3000 flywheels?  I think I've heard that this is a
good upgrade. I'm also changing to a lightened flywheel.

Thanks,

Mark Fawcett
