Clutch install
Hey guys, I need to replace the clutch in my s2k and I'm not sure if its possible to do myself with limited repair knowledge? or would I be better or taking it somewhere? I have replaced brake rotors and suspension before, how much harder is replacing the clutch?
Oh and to make it more interesting I have a SuperCharger on the car and I've heard you have to remove that to replace the clutch? If I do have to take is somewhere (which I think I probably will) have any local recommendations? I am in College Park MD.

Thats what I was thinking. Any idea how much it normally costs or where to go? I'm just not sure if I want to take it to my normal mechanic with the supercharger

i'm not sure how much it'll cost but they will have to take the supercharger off before doing it.. so that's going to cost you more...
go to evolution autosports in chantilly..... they'll be able to install you supercharger properly when it's all done..

The clutch install itself is easy, but to get to it you really need to lower the motor - that is the tough part.
You'll find a hookup job for around $500 - $700 and a retail job around $800+
New Clutch
Good stuff!

Since you're running boost you definitely don't want to go too light on the flywheel, however you will still see benefit if you go to something middle of the road in terms of weight

I installed the Hardtopguy kit (OEM friction disc, ACT pressure plate, and Comptech flyehweel) about 3 weeks ago. It was the first time I ever tried a clutch job. As long as you have all the tools necessary for the job and plenty of patience and time, it's not a difficult job. It seems to take forever, but I found it a great excuse to buy some new tools.
