I don't think replacing a clutch can be considered a build.

If you really think you will have trouble replacing the clutch get a Haynes manual. You just need basic tools and you should be able to get your car running again in 3 hours. Remember to take off the slave cylinder or you will get frustrated that your can't get the transmission more than 2 inches from the engine.
Also if you have to ask how to change the clutch, don't even try to remove the pilot bearing.

When I changed my clutch the first time I used Mitchell on Demand, but most people don't have access to that.

Next time I think you should search or post in the right section before asking basic questions.

Thumbs down

dude we we know how to change a clutch we are just asking for ****** advice or if there are any tips or trick to change it with ease. every car has a trick or some type of tool to make the install easier and reduce the amount of time we have to spend underneath the car. So why don't you shove you advice back up your *** and **** it out on some one else s post,

Honestly I thought I was being nice. I gave my advice, so sorry it wasn't what you were looking for. I simply told you what I have forgotten in the past and what you should look out for.
I think you should be glad somebody actually responded so lightly.

Good luck, and that's all I will say.

You guys won't last long with attitudes like that. But anyhow,

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=clutch+change+site%3Arx7club.com

Pay careful attention to about the fifth result down.

Buy the third part down. From what I hear, it is the best $100 you will ever spend in your life.

Hope that helps. You don't always get the answer you want right away on this forum, but there's no need for that kind of response. He was trying to help.
