Hey everyone. Im pretty decent with engines, but trannys are something of a mystery to me. Anyone got a clue how to change these out without going to a mechanic?

Trying to learn on my own as well. let me know if you guys know of a manual or something. Lol.

-AjF

 

if you dont know how to do it, definatly take it to a professional. i do not recommend taking on a clutch job on your car if you A. have no idea what you are doing. or B its your only method of transportation.

 

Lol. Thats what im thinking to. Maybe just go to the dealer?

 

hell no lol
the dealer cost me more on labor then on parts, and that was WITH an employee discoutn

maybe a reputable transmission shop. after all thats what they do

 

Lol, thanks i didnt even think about that. Lol

 

It's a pain. Full day job and you do have to drop the subframe. No way around it.

 

yea, not something you wanna attempt without the proper tools, a lift helps a lot too

 

Carbon flywheel? Do you have a link to this? Anyhow, doing a clutch and flywheel change is tedious. If you really want to do this yourself I'd suggest finding someone who has done this numerous times and see if he will provide some assitance. Once you do it once you'll be able to do it twice.

 

Lol, thanks. Im thinking ill just bring it to a local transmission guy. Good family friend and has been doing it for 30+ years (Guy is like 68 years old and still smokes everyday and drinks a bloody-martini while working on every car....)

Also, heres the link for the Carbon Flywheel:

PS: Sorry, typo. Carbon Steel. Lol. My mistake. Though it sounds like it would still be lighter and stronger.
