Bansh-eman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 drian your oil and coolant... oils under the motor large bolt... fluid pull the radiator hose of the clutch cover side.. remove the clutch cover.. make sure you dont strip the screws out... you might want to look into getting an impact driver from sears to knock those loose... once inside the cover... take off all 6 springs... remove the adjuster in the center.. and pull the pressure plate off... pull off old plates, and stick the new ones one... start with the fiber plate then a steel ... stack them like that all the way ending with a fiber on both sides... unscrew your adjuster for the clutch all the way out, put your plate back on and and 3 springs... adjust your clutch with the center bolt... once its right put the other three on and torque all of them down... put cover on and refill fluids... theres torque specs to each bolt and adjusting the clutch is a little more difficult if you dont know what your doing but im assuming you know how to or can read about it...

jbooker82 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Throw the clutch plates in a bucket and cover them with some oil. That way they are not installed dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
