Well this is my first time changing a clutch. I got the tranny out and now trying to get the pressure plate off. I can't get it to to stop rotating. I tried to jam it up but that did not work. Any tips on how to get it off???? I know it may sound stupid asking this but i have NEVER taken a tranny out or changed a clutch. NEED HELP FAST!!

the best way is to use the mazda tool to hold the flywheel still the next best way is to use an impct gun i am assuming that you dont have either. i'll give away one mecanichs trick i have from over the years. if you have a hammer and a cheap ratchet you dont care about wack the end of the ratchet with the hammer it will work just like a impact you knowwhat im sayin

 

got it out. I jammed up the bastard with a screw driver and some muscle. I installed the new clutch but can't get the tranny in. tried to bench press it in a few times but could not get the angle. I will try more tomorrow.

 

hey i thought i would try to help you for tommorow. this is my advice

1- put the ******* trans on a floor jack. how are you going to put the bolts back in the belhousing holding the trans up

2- did you use a alinment tool when you instaled the new clutch if you dont have one take the seat post off your bike it sould be the right size

3- make sure you grease the input saft on the trans a lightly no a huge dob of **** just a very thin coat

4- make sure you put throw out bearing in right and it has full range of motion

5- put it back in and make sure it all works right doing **** twice sucks and the third time you will more than likley wreck somthing else taking sort cuts

 

Step two for real. alighnment tool. most clutch kits come with one. This is a commen over looked detail...

 

i used the tool also once the shaft is in the tranny is held up by the shaft along with the two pins. I was just pissed and it was getting dark so i could not get it in.
