i made a thread in the eg and itr forum as well...thanks

 

useless forum

 

Get yourself a Helms book.

 

... maybe you should give the forum guys a lil more htan 45 mins before calling them useless . or dont be so useless and try a search. The topic has been covered before.

 

i said this is a useless forum because it took 5 minutes for the itr and eg forum to reply and this is the tech forum and it always takes forever to get an answer we shouldnt even have this forum its useless

 

hooray for the multiple cross-post!

good luck

Rip the axle out (undo the control arm, **** that castle nut). Undo the tranny mount and put a jack under the oil pan. Undo all the 17's you can find that look like they are holding the tranny on and then undo the lower starter bolt cause that bastard is holding the tranny on too. Give her a shake and take it out. Pressure plate off, clutch falls out, resurface flywheel if you want, clutch back on, aline with a 2 dollar alignment tool from autozone or wherever, pressure plate on, tranny on. Easy stuff.

 

Ahh yes, you learn the 10, 12, 14, 17, and 19 by heart eventually

BTW I went to O'Reilly's to get an alingment tool and they had like fords, GM's and Opels....Opels?!?!? in Texas?!?!
Pepboys only had a universal metric one with various shanks, but it worked.

 

Yeah I didn't even know they were that cheap, I just lined it up by eye and a screw driver when I did mine. I was working on my buddies dsm the other day and he had one and told me they were only like 2 bucks.

my clutch came with a alignment tool

i have everything done im just waiting for a friend to arrive (in about 2 hours) to help with the trans removal
i got everything else done in about 60 minutes

i know 5mm-23mm by heart just by looking at the head of a bolt(thats what happens when you work in a body shop)
