any1 replaced clutchs before, how hard is it , and what is involved i just wanna kno if i should do it myself or not

 

Not too hard, I can do it by mysellf in the driveway in a day, but I've done it a few times. If this is your first car maintenance project, then I wouldn't try it, but if you're comfortable taking a transmission out of a car, then go for it. I run my Civic up on ramps and drop the tranny out the bottom when I do it. I got a cheap tranny jack at Harbor Freight that makes putting it back in pretty easy.

 

HELMS

 

thanks man ya im comfortable doin that do u kno if there is any bigger tools i need 2 get it out or no thanks again

 

No, just hand tools. I usually unbolt the lower ball joints and pull the axles out of the diff, then zip-tie them out of the way. That way I don't have to take the hubs apart. I also unbolt the linkage from the shifter instead of trying to remove that lousy ******* pin, man I hate that thing. Other than that the Helms manual should have pretty good instructions. I also put a board across the oil pan and use a floor jack to tilt the motor to make it easier. Make sure you torque the bolts correctly too, you don't want that flying apart on you.

 

12 pt 10 mill and 12 pt 17 mill sockets for clutch and flywheel, its pretty basic simple mechanic skills and im sure youll be fine

 

4hrs with power tools, 6 hrs with sockets. Well thats how long it takes me all by myself with no help.

 

awesome thanks for the help

 

Actually I just did mine again yesterday, put in a new Competition Clutch Stage 5, took me half the day doing it in my driveway with hand tools.
