So I found out my clutch is dying and will be ordering a JWT clutch kit sometime this month. That being said, I sort of need to borrow somebody's garage to get it done. I only have basic hand tools and no jack/jack stands so I won't get far.

I was hoping during a weekend, I could drive on over to somebody's place with pizza and stuff and get the clutch installed within an hour or two. Maybe like a tech day at somebody's garage.

First time installing a clutch on this car and just so it's clear, I need the following:

• Clutch
• Flywheel
• Throw Out Bearing
• Pilot Needle
• Clutch Pivot Ball

Anything else I should replace while I'm doing it? SS Clutch Lines maybe?

1) You will need a couple of people to help you bring down and put the transmission back on or see if you can rent a tranny jack.

2) Get the tool to lock the flywheel in place

3) You will need a machine shop to press the throwout bearing in. My local shop did it for me for $10 since I didn't have a press or correct socket size.

4) The pilot bearing is a little troublesome to pull out. You need to pack it with axle/bearing grease and it should pop out easily

I would definitely get a SS clutch line and pivot ball (Concept Z Performance has a great deal) while your at it but you can just remove the slave cylinder from the tranny and not have to worry about bleeding the clutch

Thanks for the info!

Guess it'll be slightly more difficult than I imagined. If someone is still willing to help, I'll be eternally grateful. Plus there'll be pizza and beverages :P

Clutches are easy to do. All you need is two people really to get the tranny off. Its a 3 hour job max.

I'm not too concerned about the actual doing part of it, I'm concerned about finding a place with tools that I can do it in. I don't have any of my tools down here in Cali so I can't do it at home.

I'm looking to find somebody who wants to lend their place out for a day and get their hands dirty. There's no real financial incentive but I know there are people out there who rather have their hands dirty than clean.

Also, I prefer to do my own work on my vehicle so I don't want to take it to the shop but if I can't find anybody who's willing to help out I'll have to suck it up and pay a shop to do it for me.
