how to remove your tranny (MANUAL) 5sfe, great info if you need to replace your clutch Options

[chacha]

in my case, im replacing a clutch because im slipping.

ill come back to clean this better, but the tools are:

12mm-19mm sockets needed with a Strong breaker bar and a "Y" horse shoe to help pry open the axle from the driver side.

Two jack stands for the car

2-3 hydro jacks needed; one support the engine, one support the tranny

Cherry picker can ease the lowering of the tranny...

Things to move out of the way:

0. Remove all under panels and cross bar member with the front and rear engine mounts off. (Take off the Down pipe connected to the exhaust manifold too for ease)

1. Driver and Passenger side axles. (tie rod and suspension strut will have to come out for ease of taking axles out)

2. radiator so you can move more freely; as well as the upper and lower radiator tube

3. unplug the sensors on the tranny....i believe there are only two on my GT 2.2L 5sfe

4. Remove the pins from the shifting links...(there are 2)

5. remove the Clutch Cylinder slave (there should be two bolts holding it; DO NOT REMOVE THE ACTUATOR LINES CONNECTED TO THE SLAVE UNIT); follow this to the side of the tranny there is a bolt also holding the clutch fluid line (remove that instead of taking off the line; easier to remove bracket with line on it by taking off the bolt)

6. SAVE the engine mount bolt (there should be 3 holding to the metal bracket on the transmission) for last...do not remove the bolt in the middle of the driver side engine mount


here are the location of the bolts... 11 of them total: **HINT: make sure engine and tranny are evenly balance and then remove the 3 bolts on the driver side engine mount, then WRIGGLE that darn thing left and right to get it out.

OEM VS NEW CLUTCH


NEW Spec clutch stage 3+ (got it cheap for $150 shipped; so i invested, more than enough for my DD, but it was cheap and figured i try it, stage 1 was $250 already not including ship):






OLD:

oh well, i went ahead and bought a sach flywheel new for $60 buck..i would like the Billet aluminum, but didn't have the $400 cash to give out... i clean the inside of the engine wall facing the backside of the flywheel...not all. but most....clean and scrub the outer rim of the tranny where the housing and engine meets for a clean surface and follow most guide line through this video:

butter up the throw arm (don't know if that is right, but this thing):


and install flywheel with a torque tool wrench....


i had to put the socket in like this with the breaker bar....


torque everything to 65lbs in a star diagram....
