Well, the install took me a few days (I know, that's a long time). It was not as smooth as i thought it would be. i followed the steps in the Helm's manual, and the book did not depict the starter bolt very well. It took me forever to find it, and when i did, i did not want to believe it. If anyone wants to know, it's way back towards the rear of the intake manifold. You need a couple of extensions (a 3" and a 12", and one of those flex extensions). I thought that lowering the engine would be hard, but that was one of the easiest parts of the process. once the tranny was off, the clutch and flywheel install was easy, as well.
The question i have is, is the clutch pedal supposed to feel Less stiff than before? I installed a toda flywheel, and spec clutch, but i don't know if that would make it feel that way. after the install, i did bleed the clutch. I also notice the engagement is closer to the middle of the pedal.

I can say, after doing that, i want to make my clutch last a long, long time.

How does the new flywheel respond? Is it $400 good?

Adjust the clutch pedal. I think it needs to be done after R&R but it is not noted in the book. Make sure it is where you want it to get full engagement/disengagement and avoids slipping.

If you did a good job of cleaning and lubing the parts the pedal will feel much smoother.

It is a tough clutch install IMO.

don't know yet...trying to be good for the first 500 miles. probably not, but it's too late now, and i'm happy if my set up (after putting it together myself) doesn't fall apart. then, it will be worth every penny...lol.

I took the motor mounts out and dropped the engine 3 inches then took the tranny out rather than dropping the subframe 3 inches.
