how hard would it be to do it in your driveway?

if your drive way is really flat and you have another person to help it should only take about 4 hours. I had to cut my pilot bearing out with a drill bit cuz i broke a puller for it. Good luck!

what stuff would u say i'd need other then a torque wrench an sockets?

in terms of the transmission moving it out of the way and dropping it an such

treceb

jack, jack stands, pilot bearing removal tool, extra set of hands. are u gonna try and ghetto resurface the flywheel? then an impact wrench, unless u get lucky. make sure that no oil leaks from the tranny.











saw your sig went to the site and like this quote from the article...

"Get this, a total of eight 1,600cc Kinsler squirters are required to meet the Wankel's insatiable appetite for alcohol." LOL

I find that if the car is on jacks, then air tools for the flywheel nut are indispensable. If the car is higher (read: more room underneath) then a long breaker bar will work also.

yeah, my clutch was phwakin' annihilated, there was nothin but a bare pad with threads hangin off after a whole 8 months of bein in there. It was a really cheap one from www.eclutchmaster.com Actually i got his Ebay special, 83-88 Non-turbo RX-7 Clutch kit (clutch, pressure plate, release brg, pilot brg, and alignment tool) for less than $130. Anyway, I had borrowed a pilot brg removal tool from a concrete company, they used them on the huge diesel concrete trucks, i snapped it in 2 tryin ta pull out ma pilot brg in ma 85! so i got out the dremel and a small drill bit and went at it tryin not to damage my output shaft. I grinded one side down till i could collapse the brg with a screwdriver and rip that **** out. I think i hooked up the tranny wires wrong when i put it back in tho.

Ya I just put a cheap clutch in my 80'. It was such a pain doing it armstrong, but its aight now. I have no reverse lights, but most people notice that your going in reverse when your moving in reverse. Still gotta figure that one out......

Sounds like an electrical or maybe even a tranny/electrical problem? Did they work before you changed your clutch?

Ya they worked, but now they arnt even hooked up, I got like 4 single wires on the engine end, and 2 single wires on the tranny end. ALL of them are different colours and they plug into each other individually. Know what I mean? Only two goto the tranny, but I can't match the two up. And two are unused (or are for something I havent discovered yet).





Oh and where do you check your transmission oil level? I can't find a little dipstick or anything. Although I have been known to miss obvious things. Thats something that remains to be done. Same with the rear end....
