Changed my clutch today...
Well, it was fun actually, except, now I feel like I got run over due to lifting that heavy *** transmission up. Took us about 9 hours all said and done, but that includes putting the car up on ramps, going out for 2 hours to get the flywheel resurfaced and all that jazz, and taking a lunch break. Id say total work time a little under 6 hours, so not too bad.
Impressions: Holy HELL this thing grabs a lot better than the old one, and it lets out in the middle of the pedal, not all the way at the damn top...No beating on it yet, got 400 miles left til I can open her up and powershift her some Glad this finally got done, Ill post some pics of the crap we pulled out of my tranny. Pilot and Throwout bearings = 0wnEd. It was awful. Ok, thats all.

Heres the pics.
Heres the flywheel the dealership SAID they resurfaced...
Heres the clutch disk. Didnt look as bad as I thought it would, but when we pulled the inspection cover off, dust went EVERYWHERE.

not sure what your funds are but how come u didnl;t get like a spec flywheel while u were down there u could ahve slapped that on there also
I got it for the v6 since i was getting my clutch and new tranny so figured y not just not sure what ur funds are like but it was a good mod for the sixer
