Hey guy's
Whats up?
im about to replace my clutch. This is the very first repair job i ever done on my G or any other machine bigger than a Bicycle.
im just looking for the name of the tool to check the torqeue on the screws.
Also any advice would be well appreciated as im fixing it myself for lack of cash and dont wanna end breaking some shit thats gonna cost me.

Make sure you tighten the bolts to the pressure plate (6 12mm bolts) in a cross pattern to ensure proper clutch seating. Remove like 6 bolts pull the tranny a little outward to get the clutch off of the input shaft then lower it whenever u feel its off. Make sure you do not force the tranny to get it to lign up on the splines when you re-install it. If you fuck those splines on the clutch up youre gonna be catching hell. Make sure its seated properly before you start to tighten the tranny bolts to the block. Other then that i think youll be ok. Just dont drop it on yourself it weighs about 90 lbs so it would kinda hurt............
Nah man i mean it, i got the confidence , gonna see if i got the skill now.
well i assumed someone that had done the 5 speed swap would know what a torque wrench is? or at least used one beforeQuote:

Hey im gonna take some pics and do like a Newbie tutorial, hopefully itll be a how-to and not a how no to do
anyone know what size the screws are im goin out to get some ramps and tools tomorrow and i cant find the screw size in my haynes manual
I didn't see you mentioned anything about your flywheel. I would either get a lighter flywheel or at least resurface the current flywheel while you are replacing the clutch. I would also invest in new flywheel bolts and loctight them and torque them to specs.
I would also go ahead and replace the shift fork too as they "bend" through time.
Thanks man i found what iwas lookin for also. What Difference would i see if i got a lightweight flywheel
ok just read abit about shitf fork, not gonna need to get technical with the gearbox am i? it was replaced about 2 years ago now anyhow?
