So i have purchased a new cluch replacement kit. with pressure plate, cluch, throw out bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool. Is this a good idea. Im going to attempt this with my dad. Will this be an easy task or what? any help is good thanks

Also im looking for a good and LOUD muffler im thinking a 40 series flowmaster but is there any others i should consider

thanks yall

 

with the clutch replacement just take your time and be anal about EVERYTHING. there should be line up plugs in the back of the block for lining up the bell housing, make sure those are implace before you reinstall tranny.
just keep it clean and take your time. good luck!

 

i would have the flywheel machined

 

and get a tranny jack adapter for a floor jack.. mad mine go alot smoother.

 

Thanks guys thats deff alot of help. I was plaining on haveing the flywheel machined. This just seems like a big task but im sure we'll git r dun. Will i see any improved acceleration, speed.

 

Make sure the flywheel is machined with the little step in it.

Get a tranny jack (it will be MUCH easier!!!) or adapter. Take your time

If you want loud, get a glasspack. I set off car alarms at full throttle

 

wont notice much speed from a clutch but you can change gears and it will grab quickly!

there is like 10 bolts all around the engine .. and there is two for sure coming from the front side back into the tranny...

took me about a month to really plan and do the job but i had never done anything bigger than brakes before that.. i did it 100 percent by myself
i was so proud when i took her around the block and i actually did it!
enjoy working on the rig with you father and get er doned because youll save coin and know for next time BECAUSE YOUR HOOK ON YOTAS NOW MUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

What size Glasspack are we talking here im looking at the Thrush Glasspack from Dynomax

 

cuz in the past 3 weeks i did my clutch ( twice) and just put a 40 series flow on and tmrw i put on my complete budbuilt kit. The first time we put a brand new clutch kit in I was more of a helper/observer , then days later after relizing I got a bad throw out, and hours of research I was the guy wishing i had a better way of jacking the trans. Its complicated but after seeing it done once and all the bolts being recently free'd not too bad. Night #1 like 12 pack, night#2 like 18 pack ) with a helper or too! Take your time, i had a problem getting it to line back up and tighten down smoothly.
The 40 series on my rig isn't loud at all. I was kinda worried. Perfect if you ask me. Some people that have ridden with me didn't even notice until I told them.
