Looking for DIY Clutch and Flywheel

V8Killer · 07-20-2011, 05:39 AM

Hey guys I am wondering if anyone has or is planning on doing a DIY clutch and flywheel install. I did a search but nothing seems to come up. Reason I ask is b/c I am overseas so I am trying to do my best with the helping my buddy while I am here. Also looking for F.I. LTH and TDX CBE install. 19row stillen oil cooler.

I'll be doing a flywheel install soon with no lift and if there's not a DIY by the time I do it I'll write one up. Probably be two or three weeks though.

This is one mod I wish I knew how to do. When I do get one I'm going to be involved in the install process.

Might be a DIY on My350.

i've pulled my tranny and flywheel 4 times in my drive way, jack the car up put it on stands remove the exhaust behind the manifolds unbolt the driveshaft from the differential, slide it out the back (i just bent the little heat shield that holds it up once you unbolt it by hand then bent it back when i was done), then remove the little cover held on by 4 torx head bolts, unbolt the little plate at the bottom of the belhousing that is behind it(bolted to the back of the block), disconnect all the wire connecters pluged in to the tranny even the one on top, i pulled the crnakshaft position sensor to get clearance up front, remove the shifter knob,bezel,lever(the three little bolts under the rubber boot), then disconnect the tranny mount from the crossmember, remove all the bellhousing bolts, disconnect the clutch line, lift and slide the tranny back out and down(hope you have the car more than 18" off the ground) undo the clutch cover bolts, pull the clutch off, and begin replace things and reversing what you did following the torque specs and clutch alignment in the FSM. I'm down to where if i have my tools and get the car in the air the job can be done in 6 hours in a driveway.
