you don't have a 5 speed do you?

Please tell me youre being sarcastic........................... Anywho. My only words of advice are. Use the clutch alignment tool. 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............

well i assumed someone that had done the 5 speed swap would know what a torque wrench is? or at least used one before

Also I think some people mistakingly think there is a clutch in automatics similar to those in manuals

EDIT: damn I didn't find out til now that he isn't in the US

[JoeRad]

No swap done here man, im irish i got a standard 4cl 2L G.... For now, theres a sweet legnum up for sale near me for about equilent $7000

[JoeRad]

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

[JoeRad]

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.

[JoeRad]

Thanks man i found what iwas lookin for also. What Difference would i see if i got a lightweight flywheel

[JoeRad]

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?
