Default clutch install

Well this thread was going to have pics of my clutch install, but in all the damn time it took me to do the install I forgot to take many pictures. I will try and get a picture of the old clutch up tomorrow so every one can see a modular clutch with the flywheel riveted to the clutch... all in all it was not that bad, though it did take me 10 hours to do, with occasional help from Joey. I figure I could probably do it in 6 hours now that I know exactly where all the bolts are and next time I won’t just lay the damn bolts in one pile I will keep them separated...

My hands are jacked up and my body hurts...

For those who care I put in a clutchmasters stage 4 racing clutch.

Thanks go out to Joey for helping me out and schooling me in the arts of pry bar

Well I have a couple 100 more miles before it's broke in but from driving it now it's very grabby and you can't slip it, it's on or it off. So fare my only trouble was when I was parked pointing down and I had to back out of the slope I stalled a couple times trying to get it out with out burning the clutch. All in all I'm going to love it though.

At least your pressure plate wasn't in pieces. My friends 1g clutch was. I'm not gonna go into detail about how much crap has broken on that car *cough* motor, rear axle, ecu, stripped hole in the block for the tranny, shitloads more *cough*....heh....

P.S. quickest 1/4 time it has gotten (while awd) was 13.9..... yea....*shakes my head*...

Maybe I'm talking about the wrong thing. I ment the piece that is in his last pic above on the red carpet. The parts in the middle were almost shattered. There were no pics, this was last year during 1 of the many times we replaced his tranny and clutch last year, and one of the last times I ever helped that kid take out his tranny. Ever had anyone buy a used act 2600 clutch set and it actually lasted longer than 5 months?

BTW there was no disc left, it grinded into the flywheel
