Default Clutch change time

Not that it matters. And not that it's a"cool story bro" but how long does it usually take you guys to remove your tranny for a clutch change ? I switched to a twin disc. And normally it took us 4 hours to just get it down. Well. My tuner who just moved here from Florida had it down in 55 minutes lol cause we timed him and watched. Just wondered what it took everyone else

I honestly dont want to see what he didnt do to get it dropped that quickly. You shouldnt really rush when your working on a car anyways.

With the blower on my car, and other items ive added that have to be removed when dropping the trans, i took my time at 7 hours start to finish. Plus downtime to have the flywheel resurfaced.

I have done them in 3 hours out and back in. With no problems and a helper I could easily do it in 2-2.5 if everything went smoothly. After you've done a few and you know what tools to use for each bolt, and the exact procedure required its really not that hard of a clutch to do. Granted I do this for a living, for a novice at home, 5-6 hours depending on your tool selection and skills should be a resonable time.

Everything will get quicker with repetition, I could drop my D series trans in 45 mins , after doing it countless times. The first time on my S took a bit longer, but now its cake.


As said above, it all depends on your work space, and tool selection.

Part of the reason I stopped working on cars for a living was because I hated rushing, and feeling pressured to finish jobs, it took the fun out of it.


I more so enjoy, eating, having a brew or 2, and shooting the shit with friends while doing this type of work, if I'm sweating, it's considered work.

55 mins is cookin none the less.
