Looking into replacing the clutch in my Scion xA. Factory is a bit weak, so I'd like to upgrade it. I don't know much about aftermarket clutches though. Can anyone reccomend any certain brand over another? Thanks!

Centerforce is the first to come to mind.

Considering that the xA is not exactly an aftermarket darling, I'd suggest to first see what's even available for the car.

Have you checked a Scion board to see what they may recommend?

I have. Unfortunately everyone has a different opinion on which clutch to use, just like everyone has an opinion on which motor oil is best. I may just go with a TRD unit just to stay OEM, if I can't find anything better.

Aren't the TRD clutches covered under warranty?

I have been talking to these guys, no guarantee they can help with your application but they build to suit.

I've always found both stock Toyota clutches and TRD clutches to offer good quality, decent performance, good durability, and reasonable prices.

Me also. Spec was the best clutch I've ever ran. Never had any luck with custom clutches...

how much mileage, and how many people learned to drive stick, on the factory clutch? any power adders that will require greater-than-factory clamp force capability? running drag tires?
recommendations are meaningless without some details..
