DIY: Clutch Replacement

h8the8 · 10-17-2007, 03:10 AM

Scale of 1-10, how hard? I am not trying to pay the dealership service department 1400 for parts and labor. Anyone know the best place to get a whole new OEM kit for cheap and/or manuals for this type of work?

Hey im going to be doing this in a while, although i will be going for an aftermarket clutch. I will try to remember to post up pics and attempt to make it into a how to.

probably a 5, engine rebuild would be a 10, changing the final drive would be an 8, installing an intake would be a 1-2, installing an exhaust would be a 1.

It will take you at least 8 hours your first time.

Oh, and you need airtools...

Nothing like having everything out of your car to find out you need to go buy a special socket and impact gun.

I would say replacing the clutch would be a 4.. Im a girl and I know how to do it... Only hard part was getting the tranny to go back on.
