    Just letting my fellow Tundra owners know about my bad experience (fradulent even?) with ClutchXperts. First, they are clearly not clutch experts. They tried to sell me a Supra pressure plate on Ebay for a 2000-2004 Tundra, with the 5VZFE engine. They claim it's a stage 5, and maybe it is for a Supra, which is a 9.25" clutch. What I got was a Exedy (under the sticker) TYC715, which is too small. I posted pictures and measurements, but they kept claiming it was for a Tundra, and I had a swapped motor. I'm not sure why they insisted because it's hard to argue with the Exedy number. Once I returned it they refused a full refund saying I had an engine swap. Ebay is now sorting it out. Pictures below for y'all.

    This is the 5VZFE flywheel, a LUK LFW199, 10" friction surface.

    And finally, the part number hidden by their sticker:

    A tiny bit of heat later and the Exedy Part number:
