how to replace a clutch?

well my clutch is about gone now and i have to replace the dam thing! so if any one hase a good site or any info on how to do this it would be awsome! i know i have to pull the tranny and all this i can do i just need a little advice frome some one that knows what they are doing.

also ACT or clutchmasters stg 1! which can take a better beating

if you want the easy way... but with the least room to move. You can unbolt the tranny and slide it back and just remove the clutch and flywheel assembly and slite the tranny back into place and bolt everything up.

is there any diagrams or pics you know of!

no. Its fairly strait forward... just unbolt it... and replace what is there.

well you can't go too far back because you have front halfshafts that are'nt going to allow for alot of room to get your hands in there.

Should be enough though.... right? Enough to get the clutch n flywheel assembly out.

so the clutch is just bolted to the fly wheel? or is the presure plate bolted to the fly wheel, and the rest just slides it to the tranny than you alighn it and re install the tranny?

so is this one of thoughs things that once you get in there you will pretty much see how things go together!

and for a clutch, it depends on what you have done to the car. i would probably go with an ACT 2100.

you are correct sir! i am going with act! i accually got a deal on a stg4 i am geting it for $760 shiped to my door, buying it on friday!

just dont get a puck clutch...

are they no good? i really wouldent know this is my first time buying one!

Just get a full street disc. No puck clutch. They are for drag racing... you will break your teech with it on the street. You wont be able to drive it. Not to mention it wont last long.

ya i just talked to my homie and it's a disc

well all that stg crap means nothing. I want to know exactly what type it is (ie. 2100, 2600, 2900)

i was mistaken it is a FX400 clutch masters with a 6 puck!

oh dear ^^

HAVE FUN WITH THAT ONE! Wont last as long as a full disc and will be more difficult to drive with it.

well thanks for all of the tips, i am geting a good deal on the instal at my buds uncles shop $250-300, i am going to send it there thanks again!

actually it will last longer than a disc clutch, but it will be more of a pain. reason it will last longer is because of the material. The discs only use a cheap organic material while usually the puck clutches will use a strong fiber or even kevlar. I know you can get kevlar discs, but its not what ACT uses

this is the description of the clutch i am ordering.

FX400 (Stage IV)

· Ultra heavy-duty street &racing system
· Holding capacity 170% over stock
· Heavy-Duty reinforced pressure plate
· Hi-Leverage™ pressure ring design
· Sprung hub/4-button
· Ceramic friction material
· SFI Approved on most race applications.

How will it last longer engineer?

its just the material thats on the face. Like if you had a kevlar disc, that thing would NEVER burn out. Organic material discs just wont last as long under constant beating. They are good for alot of daily driving and the ocasional race. But for something that is beaten on alot it just wont last as long as a ceramic or kevlar

well the good thing about this clutch is it has springs so that will help to reduce the chatter a bit

True that... but in the principle of less surface area = more pressure on the parts that make contact... right? So if you take a full disc... and a 6 puck both made of the same material... the full dusc will last longer. Thats what im sayin.
