CHASSIS—CLUTCH
CLUTCH COVER
The 2JZ–GE engine model uses the same push–type
clutch cover as that used in the previous 7M–GE
engine model.
Although its basic construction and operation are
the same as those of the previous model, the
pull–type clutch cover for the 2JZ–GTE engine is
now made of steel plate instead of cast iron. In
addition to being lighter in weight, the adoption of
cooling fins helps increase the cooling efficiency in
the clutch housing.

CLUTCH DISC
As with the clutch covers, there are 2 types of clutch discs used, one for the 2JZ–GE engine, and the other for the
2JZ–GTE engine.
Although the clutch disc for the 2JZ–GE engine has the same basic construction and operation as those for the 7M–GE
engine, it uses highly rigid coil springs instead of torsion rubber.
Due to the adoption of the flywheel damper, the clutch disc for the 2JZ–GTE engine is not provided with a torsion
mechanism. The clutch disc is therefore a solid type, in which the hub and plate are integrated. In addition, it uses
a double–layer clutch lining.
