Is there anything to be careful of or worth keeping in mind when replacing the clutch? And roughly how long will it take for someone with a ramp and all the tools but not any experience with FD\'s?
Thanks
Ive had experience of 2 exedy clutches being fitted the wrong way round. so try and aviod that bro ;). Doing it slow time with a ramp maybe a couple of hours, possibly less.
Biggest thing is to remember to undo the pressure plate bolts through the inspection hole in the bell-housing as the clutch comes away with the gearbox unlike many conventional clutched vehicles,
Also I put a small piece of wood under the front of the sump because when the box comes out the engine falls forward, indeed I knew somebody who rebuilt 2 engines trying to loose the bad knock levels and vibration before he found that when the engine fell forward it bent the front crank pulley,
Do a search and you will find that one of our members did a detailed "how to " a few months back
Hope this helps
Thanks for the advice guys. Clive? Any idea who posted that How To? I\'ve done a search and cant find it :(
Think it was jono mate.
jono did mate
Was me mate... all in the tec info..... took me 2 days including taking pics!!
One thing I would say is if your pilot bairing is in desent condition..... don\'t replace it as it\'s a bitch to get out unless you have the right tool!
