Detailed Description

Compatible With 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma, 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, and 2005-2006 Toyota Tundra in standard transmission applications, the Sachs SK70440-1 is a clutch kit intended for drivetrain service where the original clutch assembly has reached the end of its service life. The SK70440-1 part number is useful when matching the correct clutch dimensions and spline count for Toyota manual transmission repair, especially on Tacoma and FJ Cruiser platforms.

This part cross-references no listed interchange numbers in the provided data. Verify transmission specifications before ordering, since the kit does not include the concentric slave cylinder and/or release bearing and that component is not available separately.

Match the clutch dimensions and 21T spline count to the existing setup, and inspect the hydraulic release system during service since the concentric slave cylinder and/or release bearing is not included with this kit. The SK70440-1 should be installed on the specified Toyota applications only.
