requesting link to DIY clutch job!!!!
need to do a clutch job(not my first time) and need a refresher course.
The actual labor is not an issue, i am interested to hear from the people who just recently had theirs clutch job done. What are the things not to over look. i have the following already purchased and would like to see if i missed any thing from the list of things i will need. ACT-street kit, even includes the pilot bearing. ACT -fly wheel ACT- counter weight. Mazda OEM reinforced clutch fork. thanks. Michael |

I did this over the summer myself. I overlooked a few things and it set me back a bit.
Make sure and have the following; big torque wrench 300+ ft/lbs smaller torque wrench up to 100 ft/lbs possibly a torch to heat the flywheel nut long ratchet extension for getting the bell housing bolts out pilot bearing puller (Auto Zone rents a "blind hole puller" that worked just fine for me) fly wheel puller pilot bearing pilot bearing seal clutch release bearing wedge collar and wire ring (if they aren't included with the pressure plate) clutch alignment tool 8 power plant frame nuts 1 power plant frame bolt, for connecting to the rear diff 4 cat. converter nuts 2 cat. converter seals 1 air pipe seal locktite grease I also picked up the fly wheel stopper from mazdatrix. Made getting the flywheel off a breeze. If you plan on draining the oil from the transmission don't forget about plugs and washers. You may also want to consider changing out the following; rear main seal rear stationary gear seal transmission front seal transmission rear seal I also re-torqued the block bolts. |
damn i bet thats where my uim and tb nuts are too...im too lazy to ever do this but i thought i would read since its there.

Don't forget to replace the pilot bearing and seal. I did a clutch job in a day with a couple friends helping me wrench a bit. well, it wasn't a "clutch job" but i had to replace my own pilot bearing so it was essentially a clutch job.

thanks guys for the comments.
I just need the lock-tight and some high temp grease for the job. |
upgraded shift select spindle
also the oil pressure sender is easy to change whith the tranny out |
And dont forget to go on YouTube and find that video on removing the clutch from the engine, that was frustrating the shit out of me and then I saw the video and it was so easy. :wallbash:
