I will be replacing my clutch and flywheel on Saturday, January 24th 2009 at Titus' garage in Nevada, TX. (South of Farmersville)
10am-? Pizza and drinks on me for those who help out. Titus also has some rocks he needs picked up around the yard. ;)
If interested let me know and PM Titus for directions.
Do you have a new rear main seal???????
Count me in as a maybe. Do you have a service or enthusiast's manual?
Pizza AND rocks!!?
Count me in.

I'm told it isn't a necessity. A regular jack and brute strength will suffice.Quote:

I have a jack, and an engine hoist that may be of some use.

Hey with recent practice we should be able to avoid the issues we had on beans. Oh and take off the clutch slave cylinder before you try to remove the tranny. It won't work the other way. By the way who let the engineer read the manual?
I'll go.
Awesome.Quote:

Sure is. And I'm still using the same clutch and flywheel! LOLQuote:

Well, the electronics guy couldn't read, so someone had to do it. :roll:Quote:
