Okay first of all I know I'm pushing my luck here, but tomorow after I get out of college I'm installing my Fidanza flywheel and clutch. It's going to be a little rushed and I hope to have it all broken in by Saturday for what may be the last drag races of the season. I have a few questions before I dive headlong into it tommorow:

Lock-tite on the flywheel bolts yes or no?
torque rating ??lbs on the flywheel bolts and... tight on everything else?
suprises I should watch out for?
Any advice to give a guy that's never done it on a FWD car before working with someone who "helped" on one, one time?

I'm about to search around a bit and see if I can't find the online manual for our cars but, I figured I'd post here see if I can get any heads up on the hard parts. Also in case my search isn't successful can anyone post the link to the online manual? Thanks guys I apreciate it!!!

 

my advice would be if you have the equipment to remove the whole engine and tranny then do. I replaced the clutch in my 92 with the engine in one time and it was the biggest pain in the *** that i have ever done. Theres just not much room to move that damn thing around. Since that time i just take out the engine and it sure goes a lot easier.

i just did mine last week and i did lock-tite my bolts even though it makes it a pain in the *** to get them off, but i cant remember the torque amounts for the bolts right now.

 

flywheel bolts are 76 ft lb, i did my clutch with the engine still in the car, and everything went very smoothly for me. i had a friend just get under the tranny (thing is pretty light) and dropped it in his lap, then i bolted everything back up , and put the tranny in his lap and i grabbed it from the top and we both lined it up.

letme know if you have any other questions

 

i'm about to do the same thing with my h22 that should be getting here sumtime by next week *hopefullly* let me know how your install goes. mine should be pretty easy since it will be sitting on my garage floor and i don't hafta deal wit the lack of space under the hood of a honda. Also, let me know how you like the fidanza. i am about to buy a stage 2 6 puck ACT and a 8 lb fidanza. i'm curious about the quality of the fidanza, so just lemme kno and good luck wit ur install man

 

Personaly I would not try to do it in one night. I would wait till you have a whole weekend free to play with it. I just don't like to be rushed, and these things ALLWAYS take way longer than you think it will.
