clutch help Options

[grasby]

ok , for the past four days i have been fixing my car
i could have gotten it done in like a day,
just replacing the clutch
normally takes a while, but only like a day
but unfortunately for me, the guy helping me is a friggin drunk
and eveything on this job has turned out wrong so far
but finally, im starting to see a light
ive got everything taken apart
the transmission is out
my new fly wheel is on
so which way does the clutch disk fit into the pressure plate?
can someone show me pictures
or perhaps link me to another post that has this info
i searched for one myself and found nothing
thanks for the help

It only goes on one way. The side where the springs protrude go towards the pressure plate.

Since you already have the transmission off from the car. The pressure plate is being held onto by 6 bolts iirc 12mm bolts. Remove that and the pressure plate should come right off. When you take out the pressure plate the clutch disc will come right out.

When you install you do it in reverse order, but make sure you use the alignment tool and tighten the bolts down evenly. I believe the torque spec is 14 ft-lb.

Anything else?

well i already have the new parts on the car
the problem is im not sure how to put it bacc together
the guy who was helpin me got mad today
because i told him we should have been done a long time ago


we started sunday around noon
and now its thursday night and my car is still taken apart
it was takin too long so i told him to get out of my shop
and now, im dead in the water
the only thing that i really need help
is the transmission, how do i get that put bacc on?

[bccentaur3]

okay the transmission is fairly light. Just lift it up and line of the spline. It might take some wiggling to get it in. Once its in just bolt everything back on. Hoping you have all the bolts on hand.

Once the trans is bolted all the way onto the motor its time to lift the trans side of the motor to put the through bolt in the trans mount.

Now you can put the crossmember back on. This will be some what time consuming. Its the bottom cross member with the front and rear motor mounts. Get that bolted up.

Now you can bolt the clutchmaster cylinder in and the shifter linkage back in. And 2 plugs the speedo sensor plug and the reverse light plug.

thank you SOO much
all week i have been dealing with this stupid drunkard that worked for my dad
my pride and joy has been sitting in my shop all week
and its drivin me crazy
all the other guy accomplished was taking my car apart
freakin hate not havin my car driveable

[bccentaur3]

yeah thats why i do all my own work. I hate it when people do other peoples work, because when things go wrong the person who owns the car won't know how to fix it.

[grasby]

yea i do all my own work too mostly
i just had never worked on a clutch before so didnt know how to this time
but everything else on my car is all me
haha, i just like knowing that my car is fast because of ME
not some mechanic paid to do it
good thing is i learned a little more mechanic stuff while workin with this guy
so hopefully next time i wont have to pay for it to get done

[bccentaur3]

yeah, well once you get the spline lined up and trans bolted on, everything is self explanatory. Don't forget GROUND wires you've taken off. I don't want you to start another thread about why your car isn't starting lol....

[grasby]

haha yea, im gonna do a full checc of the car
before i start it
because this guy unhooked alot of **** to get to my trans
amd i think he may have unhooked too much,
but im not sure
so im gonna have to look all through the engine bay for unhooked wires
haha
