Hey guys, this is my first post, I apoligise in advance for any mistakes I make as I am not perfect. =P
I have just bought an exedy cushioned button clutch, as I ass blasted my last one by teaching myself to drift. I have an engine lift, does anyone know what tools etc I will need to undergo my precious's clutch replacement.
Here is the link to the clutch I bought for the super freaks =P http://www.exedy.com.au/sports_tuff.htm
Thank you sirs! much love

 

you will have to lower the engine and tilt it back to get to the upper tranny bolts. There should be a how to on here if u search for it. You need to take it out from under the car. You can do it with a good socket set, your going to need some long extensions to reach the starter bolt and upper tranny bolts. a tq wrench will help too. Drive shaft will have to come off and the shifter will have to be pulled out. Front subframe has to be lowered. Theres a lot of little things to remove. Try to search for the how to on here. Should be a lot of info if u just search around.

Good luck

 

It's quite a bit of work, plus you need a good impact for some of the bolts.
Like the user above mentioned, you need to tilt the sub-frame to get the right angle.
Honestly If your not that handy, pay someone.
It takes me plus a friend about 4 hours to knock it out now. My first time doing the job took me 12 hours+.

Good luck.

i just did my clutch with a buddy in his shop. i can't fathom how anyone can do it on jackstands. getting the trans off and on was the most painful part

 

Done it twice on jackstands. And the last time alone. Not a fun job!

 

Thank you all so much for the input. I now have an engine hoist and car lift.
I am more than willing to learn and I have a mate that has a sound mechenical understanding.

I will start the process possibly tommorrow if not, on the weekend. Ill post how it goes.

 

Car lift yes. Hoist you will not need.

 

I've done it on jack stands and some help. I did it with a lot of help from tutorials online. Just do a Google search, there are plenty with pics and good instructions. Have fun finding the starter bolt!

 

I did it in a garage on jackstands (having a lift would be more comfortable but it can easily be done on jackstands. You don't need any special tools really (other than the clutch alignment tool that should come with the clutch). I had an impact wrench but didn't need it. It was a real pain though and I hope I never have to do it again. Their is a DIY but it is still difficult to complete and a lot of hard bolts to get at. You would preferably want to do it with a buddy that has done an S2000 clutch job before or atleast someone that has done clutch jobs on RWD cars.

Just remember the clutch fork has to come out first in our car. And if you want the flywheel off you need a special socket for it.
