it could have been done this way, i dropped my trans to do my clutch but i think pulling the engine would be easier w/out a lift.

lol at messing up friend's garage

I had to laugh outloud when I read the part about how you took the lightbulb from the garage

Anyway, informative DIY... although I don't think I'll do this myself when the time comes for a rebuild.

Hey i was wondering i am pulling my motor as we speak.. Is there any special sequence to Removing the front 2 belts.. or do you just loosen up the tensioner and your fine?

good write up. Almost exactly how I did my last one...

Side note, I bought that same grey/yellow handle screwdriver set a few weeks ago. How do you like it?

beavis820 · 09-24-2007, 04:04 AM

sti_guy you may want to ask for help from someone with a little mechanic experience but will pm you.

screwdriver set is alright, it has a nice case that keeps all of them together but they arent very strong if your really cranking on them. i havent broke one yet but i will. but then again for less than $20 ill buy another set.

everyone else, thanks

im pulling my motor as we speak and this has been a GREAT help... But i CAN NOT get the tranny to separate from the motor... HELP!!

nperkins · 10-07-2007, 06:35 PM

got it... when in doubt... Get a bigger hammer.... Took UNBELIEVEABLE forceto get it out... wow... Spraying some lubricant around the seam helped too...

beavis820 · 10-08-2007, 03:34 AM

be carefull with that lube if your reusing your clutch. and sometimes its easier if you have someone under the car because you can get a prybar between the engine/trans under there(ive never had to do this)

nperkins · 10-08-2007, 04:26 AM

lol... reuse the clutch... Thats a good one...

Do you have a way to glue fibers back onto the disk? Or remove the metal shine from the disc?

I'll post pics of the clutch later on for you.. Exedy 3 puck FTW...

nperkins · 10-08-2007, 07:23 AM
