i go mine done a few times under warranty, flying off the handle is one way, but my clutch died under 1000, 10 000, at the 15 000, i replaced the clutch myself, being a mechanic, sent the bill to Toyota via small claims court and the service manager got the sack for not picking up that the flywheel wasn't flat. it was "V" shaped, so the clutch was only applying pressure to the outer half of the friction plate.
i got the flywheel machined
replaced the with Tuff clutch
replaced spigot, throw out bearing
rear main seal
im up to 150 000 on the Tuff clutch, thats with no ratio change, 33", and towing a car trailer to and from darwin, will probably change it while im doin my t case
good luck
