Default Re: clutch replacement

Jim,

Before starting, remove the mats & floor boards, you will find a inspection plate with two bolts in front of the shifter. Remove, take a picture of the clutch & post, we then can tell you what is currently living in there.

Your customer thought the car had clutch issues, but you haven't inspected it yet. Check the fluid level in the trans and the amount of clutch free play. A multi-disc requires 3/4" but some time less to fully disengage the discs to shift smoothly.

Lastly multi doesn't like be 'wound out' like a single disc can. Shift at 8 mph & at 15 or she'll grind gears until they slow down, no matter how thick the gear lube is.

It's your customer, your project, & your garage so do as you are comfortable. Please ask more question, we all like to share our experiences.
