how hard



how much time



i just wanted to hear what you guys had to say



i know it wont be easy but i may mo may not do it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png



so give me so feedback https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

on an fd3s 93

if you have no lift it might be a bit hard....you better have some friends assisting you...or vosko

go buy some of theose "rhino" ramps that they sell at walmart or the auto parts store. they are a life saver, and not like the candy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

drive the car up on them, and then go to town....you can get a pair for roughly 49$. they make EVERYTHING much easier

Clutch install with no lift, No problems, just make sure the cars fairly high up, I personally dont like using the ramps, I use 4 jack stands cause you gotta get to some stuff at the back where the ppf bolts to the diff also the reason why 4 stands is when you put it back together the diff gotta be straight, I think it will be harder if the cars on an angle to line it up, done it three times with no lift in the past year and a half, once for burned up clutch, once for f*dup tranny, and just did it again cause of burned clutch, done it on a lift before as well, a little faster on the lift but I had no problems on the floor, one thing that makes it much easier is if you jack the front of the motor up by the edge of the oil pan, make it easier to bring it down and put it up, I actually did everything solo except for putting up the trans , thats where you'll have to have a buddy to help, unless your he man, hope that helps if there's anything else lemme know

if he has a big enough gut, he can just push out and lift the tranny in from the ground position...

its easy unless you give up easily. you just have to take out the tranny....but to do that you basically have to remove everything from the DP back Then re assemble... If you work after work and on the weekend it will take afew days to a week...depending on your schedule

the tranny is around 100 lbs i think...

wow i was thinking it whould be a lot harder than that



let me ask you something its so bad i dont think i can get it up on the rampsi have like 8 jaks but in pairs and only 2 of them get pretty high like about 3 feet of the ground and the rest are pretty standard issue like high enough to change the oil and such what do i do in this case



also R1tt my clutch is so bay i can be in 1st gear and the dang thing wont even stall does this mean i need a new flywheel. should i just wait and drop on in while im there i really dont have 400 to put on the flywheel unless i really need it



thanks everyone for the feed back now what do i do about the flywheel https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

You will at least want to get the flywheel turned. You will need a 52mm socket and a very powerful impact gun and the SST to keep the motor from spinning.



When I did my first clutch install on my car, I did the old "big ******* screwdriver" method which sucks ass. The next time, I unbolted the pressure plate from the flywheel through the service hole on the bottom of the tranny, much, much easier that way. Then the clutch and pressure plate stay on the tranny when you pull it down. Then simply pull off the clutch, undo the little snap ring holding the pressure plate onto the TOB, and remove, easy as pie. They are not too bad, I did the first one on a lift and the next time was on jackstands. Good Luck.

what I did on my flywheel was just take it to the machine shop and have it resurfaced, make sure the step on the flywheel is ok when you have them machine it, you might want to do this if its slipping that bad cause the rivits from the disk may have scored the flywheel or you may have some blue burn marks of the flywheel, I think the best thing is to drop the tranny then look at the condition of the flywheel. I was thinking about lightening and balancing the flywheel but it seems like the flywheel is counter weighted so I did'nt want to mess up the balance, oh ya and you'll need a big ass socket to get the flywheel nut off, I think is was a 54mm (dont quote me on the socket size I can't remember, I'll check my tool box later if you need the size, just let me know) hope this helps
