Goddammit I need a clutch.....

Well, my clutch decied to really start dying last night, so it looks like Ill be needing a new one. And if i do the clutch, I might as well get a lighter flywheel. SOOOOO, am I going to need any special tools or anything like that? And is there a clutch/flywheel that seems to work well with our cars?

Getting your old flywheel off is going to be a bitch!!
Your going to need a big *** socket ( I think it's 2.5 inches)
the one and only time I took one off was on a 12A that was not in a car. I built a wooden frame and rachet staped the motor too it so it didn't rotate while I was jumping on a five foot cheater bar on the flywheel nut.
(but I guess some people have air tools.....and freinds)

as far as clutches and flywheels go, I have a racing beat lightend steel flywheel and a center force clutch.
But my car doesn't run and I've never driven it, so I don't know weather or not I like it.

GOOD LUCK,
Alex
