Clutch Install

Chris951 · October 8th, 2008, 02:20 AM

Could I do it myself with a hydralic jack and some jackstands? I need to know because my friend is getting an 86 vert that needs a new clutch and clutch cable and he will pay me to do it. I just need to know if I could do it with just a jack and some stands. Thanks

the higher you can get it the better, the t5 isnt too heavy so it can be done

Ok sweet. Can you walk me through all the steps but be as simple as possible? I don't wanna look like I don't know what I'm doing when I'm getting paid to install a clutch haha

Lol I have a fair idea of what to do I just want it validated

its not hard i helped do mine, the guy knew more than me so be basically waked me through it, only thing you gota do right really is aligning the clutch with the tool before tightening the pressure plate all the way

oh yeah and he'll either need to get his flywheel resurfaced or replaced

its very simple and the steps are in a haynes or chiltons book... go buy one..

but i proly wouldnt pay someone to work on my car who doesnt know what to do.

1. disconnect the collectors on the exhaust.
2. disconnect the driveshaft but be sure to have a drain pan under the tailhousing.
3. disconnect the transmissin crossmember but hold the trans up with the jack and let the trans drain.
4. disconnect the speedo cable and electrical connections.
5.take the bolts out and pull out the transmission, its kinda heavy.
6. i have a tail.
7. you will see the pressure plate and clutch and everything in front of you. take out the pressure plate and clutch, if the flywheel looks good then he doesnt need to replace it or have it turned.
8. if you have a tail too, you have to do this backwards and upside down with a thumb in your ass.
