Replacing OEM Clutch ABCs / Brake Upgrade

OcOnnor220 · April 13th, 2007, 11:34 AM

Two questions, when replacing the OEM clutch in my 2001 GT do I have to lube the assembly with anything?

I got one of those 13" front crossdrilled big brake rotor upgrades for the 99-04 GT, do I have to install the smaller back set also? Should I use the same brake fluid with the new steel braided brake-lines?

Can anyone answer this? I dont wanna eat this clutch because I didnt spray some kind of pepboys canned crap on it.

Okay well you have to have the flywheel completely clean of anything! To do this you should take some brake clean and spray it and then take a lint free rag and wipe it off! If you dont do this you will end up having a warm spot on your flywheel where your clutch will slip! O and if you get or have the King Cobra clutch kit take it back now! Its a POS my throw out bearing is making so much noise and it has only 400 miles on it and it is also slipping and burning! So I have to take it back to the shop that put it in on Monday!
