Centerforce stage II Clutch Install Help
I was wonddering if anyone could give me any advise on installing the clutch. Like is there anything i need to know before attempting to do this at home? What exact tools are needed to do this? Should I just take it to a shop?
Thanks, DAvidf |
search !!!
I wrote a how-to that was pretty good maybe two weeks ago and I'm sure that this subject has been covered 100 times centerforce or not, clutch install will be the same! |
k Thanks =) I'll check into that. I wasn't coming here that often.

Umm....didn't see it. If you can, can you get me the link to the thread? It would be much appreciated.

Only "special" tool you need is a torque wrench, and the specs on the bolts. Tighen the PP to the flywheel in a pattern as you would a wheel.

well, you DEFINETLY need a clutch alignment tool. so, yes, thats a special tool, but only like $4 if its not included with the clutch. also, you will need a big huge socket, and either a good impact gun, a big huge breaker bar to remove the flywheel plus a way to hold the engine to keep it from turning while you put 300 lb ft of torque on the bolt. so, I'd consider at least the socket a special tool, since its like 54mm or whatever.
and do not skip removing the flywheel. if you don't get it re-surfaced, the new clutch may not break in properly, and slip, or just overheat and chatter, which is very annoying. you *could* get lucky, but with all the work entailed removing the tranny, etc..., I wouldn't take the chance. |

If you are removing the flywheel ( which is usually a "must" ), do a search on that also. |
ive had 3 different clutches in my car without touching the flywheel, and never had any problem. so i wouldnt say "you could get lucky"....

that wasn't because they wore out unusually early was it? i hope not. |

but, go to a transmission shop and see what they say about resurfacing the flywheel. :) |
