got a clutch sitting in my garage. probly going in this weekend.
anyone have any helpfull DIY links? i know i can do it pretty easy but any help would be awesome.
allllso, i need to take the flywheel out and go get it resurfaced somewhere right?
Most machine shops will resurface the flywheel, but the closest reputable place for me was in Torrance / Redondo Beach. I guess that's a ways from Garden grove.
You took the transmission off the wagon yourself previously, right?
1) up on all fours
2) front wheels off
3) drain trans fluid
4) rear driveshaft off
5) remove brake line brackets , disconnect front suspension
6) remove front axle nuts
7) use prybar to remove axles (may require rotation, pop, rotation, pop, a clip might get in the way)
remove downpipe & midpipe
7) remove starter
remove shift linkage assembly (the bushing between shifter & chassis. right underneath shift boot)
9) remove sheet metal boot holder thingy (holds down the shift boot to chassis, found in cabin)
10) transmission jack in place
11) loosen all bolts between transmission and engine block (keep a note of which bolts are longer than others. My friend decided to strip my threads when it went back in the wrong order)
12) UNDO clutch fork assembly
13) wiggle the transmission down & towards rear of car (in a staircase fashion)
14) remove clutch bolts,
15) remove flywheel (14mm) you might need impact wrench. Turning with hand power will cause flywheel to rotate, thus never removing the bolt
good luck!
