1st time to change clutch.

[vbro]

I tried searching for post but couldn't find any. SO..I'm assuming that if i look in the Chilton's guide it will be strait forward. If not, is there any querks I should know about?

Real easy<br><br>buy good stuff<br><br>Pc of cake

Yep, it's easy... I jumped right into my first one by myself never having done anything like that before, it's very straight up. Rent a tranny jack, it'll make life easier.

definitely get a tranny jack. It will make life much easier. Start taking out bolts and ask questions along the way. Many of us have done this more times than we care to count. I have done my tranny on my EB at least 3 times.

Good quality clutch (luk,centerforce)<br>new pressure plate and new throwout bearing<br>Get the flywheel resurfaced.<br><br>will take a little while longer, but it's like putting new calipers on old rotors, it'll wear faster and you'll have less surface contact for good lockup.

Make sure you get the flywheel surfaced and if it has been surfaced before, make sure the pressure plate bolts aren't too long. LUK's are good clutches by the way.

If it's a three speed don't forget to make the little chingadera that holds the tranny in gear... thus preventing the needle bearings from coming out of the input shaft and therefore complete disassembly/severe cursing. Actually you can use a zip tie on the lever arms to accomplish the same thing as the tool illustrated in the manuals. Not sure if this is a necessity on other manuals.<br>Also, depending on how flat your workspace is , how many helping hands you have, and if you remove as a whole tranny/x-case assembly, you can cut down some threaded rod that is the same thread pitch as your bell housing bolts, and then use them as "guides" to slide the whole tranny/x-case assembly into place.<br>Might as well replace the pilot bushing and look at those transfer case bushings as well.<br><br><br>

Make SURE you use the proper shoulder bolts on the clutch cover , a standard capcrew doesn't have that shoulder and the cover will "walk around ". Also tighten them progressively in a circle to avoid springing the cover . Have fun !!
