Any loctite on the flywheel bolts, or anywhere else?

Yup, the four corner bolts hold the subframe, that's why you only lower them 3 inches.

The whole thing takes me about 5 hours on my car, on an untouched car a little longer.

No loctite on anything, just torqued to spec which is 94 ft-lbs

Cool, now I know someone that can install a clutch when my goes bad. Can you PM a price?

Thanks for the write-up. I've been contemplating doing this on my own or just paying someone to do it. This thread definitely pushes me towards a DIY.
Is the trans a pain to line back up when you're putting it back on?

great write-up

Could you post up the torque specs for all the bolts you have to loosen? Or post where to get that info...

I don't have a Helms yet.

One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about is the flywheel. Can you resurface it yourself? Do you just buy one that already has been and swap yours as a core?

Great write up and pictures... Thank you!

You take it somewhere to have it done. Most machine shops/clutch places will do it. It normally runs around $50.

The shaft slides right in if you use a clutch alignment tool or simply use a broom stick as a guide
