took me about 11 hours for the install, 5 hours was with a friend and the rest was alone. I also installed my tsudo cat back exhaust while i was at it.

Fidanza lightweight flywheel, and clutch masters fx100 stage I clutch

Over all performance is great, the tranny shifts at the perfect time, oh and i also upgraded my gear oil to mobil 1 gear lubricant.

havent taken it through any beating yet, just breaking in the clutch, but i gotta say it has helped out a lot, im gonna take it to a shop next week and get it dynoed, hopefully.

so far my current mods are

injen cai
invidia s pipe
fidanza flywheel
clutchmasters clutch
tsudo cat back exhaust

with the silencer in

with the silencer out

got bored so i decided to do some videos and pics, have fun.

 

Cool. What's it's capacity over stock?

 

70% over stock, i think it was like 370 bhp and 350 tq

 

where did you get it at? And what do you think the difficulty of the install is? Thinking about doing it myself, any point of the install where it got a little difficult?

 

DIY clutch install... you sir have more ***** than i do

 

i agree

 

You noticed your engine revs quicker. Gota love it! oh yea did your new throw out bearing fit?

 

11 hours...wow. still debating on whether to do this in my garage. however, arent you the guy who rebuilt his auto into a manual?

 

I just bought a stage 1 clutch from dezod.com, I so wish I could install it myself. Props to you man.

you know of a shop in the SGV that could do it?

 

difficulty of installing would be putting the tranny back up, and the cross member back up.

I would not recommend anyone doing this alone, this is the second clutch i did on a tc so thats why i did some of it together, but i would not recommend you doing it alone, you need the help.

you need to get the axle of the tranny and the axle of the passenger wheel in aligned correctly otherwise it will not go in.

throw out bearing fit like a champ.

no i didnt rebuild an auto to manual, but i did rebuild a flooded tc with all new parts.

shop in sgv? no man not really but i can get you in touch with someone that could help out.

 

here are the links to the tc rebuild if any of you guys were interested

it really was a lot of work, but i learned a lot of stuff about the car

 

WOW... DIY. ***** of Steel!

 

i can write a diy, but it will be hard to get some pics now that everything is back up and running, but hey if you guys want it ill do it

 

I thought flooded cars had an unreadable title?

 

nope, its just salvaged title

 

Do it! :D

 

with all the right equipment it shouldn't be too bad if you wanted to DIY. It's just making sure you have the proper setup and know what to disconnect to get everything out properly.

Kudos on DIY. That's no walk in the park even with everything.

 

I am definately going with a Spec Stage 3 and a Fidanza whenever I need a new clutch. Our car has far too much rev hang due to the heavy flywheel.

Hmmmm. I took apart a Tranny on a RWD pickup once to replace the slave and master cylinders. How much more difficult would you say this is?

 

rwd is a lot easier to take a part than a fwd
