So I recently (300 miles ago) I had my07 f22 replaced with a 09 f22 by insurance. After a 5th gear pull my clutch went out and I had to float gears to get home. Was not expecting this as this clutch has less then 10k miles on it, ACT pp, and new OEM disk and bearing. I paid over 1200 bucks for this clutch less then a year ago and had all the work done by Autowave. They also put my new motor in like 2 weeks ago........ they want $900 just for labor!!!!!!!!! (They even said and we'll remove the SC for free) lol

is it possible to do a clutch job without removing the supercharger/ aftercooler????

Anyone in So Cali want a side job?

No. You have to remove the sc. I had my transmission and clutch done recently and they had to remove my vortech sc. They tried to work around it because it's a PITA, but it was inevitable.

It's possible to replace the clutch without removing the SC. s2000junky and I had our clutches replaced by the same Honda "master" mechanic years ago. s2000junky had a CT kit at the time and I have the SOS, and I think only one of our kits had to have the AC unbolted to create some extra room. I can't recall if was the CT or SOS kit however.

Hmmmm interesting. I have a CT kit with the 1200. Did you have to loosen anything else to make room or just simply work around it

I've replaced a clutch on a Vortech equipped s2k without removing the blower . It however is more trouble than it's worth as you can't lower the cradle as low as your supposed to . I did it once but won't do it that way again . Spend the extra half hour to pull off the blower and it will make things much easier .

Hmmm how much whp ur making? The act setup is good for 450 whp. Must be a bad throwout bearing. Iv had defected ines b4 that broke after a single track day.

Making 360whp at 11psi on a conservative dyno... ya pretty lame. I just had to have insurance replace my engine with a 09. Pulled the head for a head gasket and the timing chain cover was .04 higher so they put a newer one in. A few hundred miles later the clutch goes out and I'm stuck buying my 3rd clutch

Thank you for allowing me to do your clutch. Glad we were able to take care of the issue.

FYI, you need to remove the blower since it only has like 1/2" clearance to the cross-member. Engine needs to drop 3". It will not work without removal.
