Wellllll after i night out at Cayuga i now need a new clutch.
just want to know if anyone knows any good shops in the area that can fo ot for a good price.
ive been working on small FWD 4 cylinders for most of my cars and never touched a RWD tranny before so i wouldnt know where to start.

 

Most common RX7 specialty shops are

Rotary dynamics
Mazdees
RPM

I have tried to contact RPM and not had much luck though, but he might be your closest person if he is still in the Cambridge area.

 

if its anything like an fb, and you've done that kind of work on a fwd car, then go for it....as easy as 1..2..3. easier than fwd

 

how long could it be done? a day? a weekend?

 

I watched a shop drop my tranny and remove my flywheel in a bout 20 minutes. The clutch is the same neck of the woods as the flywheel

 

hmmm, i would love to tackle this project myself but i dont have a lift. or anyone with me to tell me what the heck im doing wrong lol.
ill look into it tomorrow and see what some local shops charge. i have a stock replacement that i got with the car.....

 

I can do it in 3 hours on my back with the help of a buddy, you don't need a lift, but it sure does help.

 

You will need the flywheel socket and a breaker bar (if you want to resurface it). Think of it this way, the labor you save will pay for a transmission jack. When all is said and done and the sweat has been washed away and greasy hands cleaned up you'll be equipped for the next time.

BTW, I suggest a racingbeat street strip clutch.

 

WOW really? wish i had a buddy like you lol.
unfortunately this is my daily driver so i just want to get it done and over with. just toss in a stock clutch.
is there any write ups online or how to's?

heck ill even pay one of you guys to! lol.

 

The best write up is a FSM. www.foxed.ca and read up on it, it's pretty easy really.

 

If you've done FWD transmissions and clutches, a RWD trans (especially Rx-7) is a cake walk!. Drop your drive shaft, starter, take out the shifter, electrical connections, trans mount, and then the bell housing bolts. You're done!

 

I rented a lift in Brampton and did it in a few hours using hand tools its not a hard job at all

 

Probably cause I've changed jobs, locations and phone numbers like a billion times in the last year and a half lol.
Shoot me a pm if you need to get ahold of me.

Travis, let me know if I can help you with your clutch. I could do it afterhours at my shop in Kitchener if your interested.

 

not that hard.....just read up on it and make sure you have tools and parts...ie pilot bearing, tranny fluid.

 

Well i got the clutch in with the help of Joe here.

And as part of the deal....This ones for you.

haha thanks again.

 

Hahaha thanks.

I'm glad the flywheel wasn't toast.

 

Lol @ that picture.

 

So thats why joe didn't come out to Cscs i See lol did you get the gtx going? if not let me borrow the ecu for a week lmao!
