thanks for the idea, but my tranny's finally back together (as of this morning).

i just need to put it back in now, and i'll be fine :)
 
except for the fact that they charge aout 1,000 per gear (last time I looked!)... so uh.. that's not a real affordable option for most people!
 
instead of taking off the control arm and pulling out the ball joint from the spindle, you can just take off the two nuts and bolts that hold the spindle to the strut, and the entire assembly will drop down, allowing you to remove the driverside axle. This will also allow you to pivot the spindle with the steering tie rod, to shimmy out the axle. I chose this method because I do not have access to a pickle fork. =)

Sorry to Threadjack but does anyone have a write-up on, how-to replace the clutch? This will be my first time changing one on a FWD car so I'm kinda in the dark about what all i will need to remove.I have ran a search and I didn't come up with anything that will help me out.

I will delete this post so that I won't clutter up your thread.

Thanks:)

Follow the instructions in this thread about removing the tranny. Once you get it off the flywheel and clutch will be right there, easy to remove and replace. If you can't figure it out with the tranny off, then you should probably get a pro. to do it.
 
Basically there will be about 4-8 bolts (can't remember) that you use to take off the pressure plate. Once that is off you can just switch the clutch discs... but technically should remove the flywheel and have it resurfaced. Nothing complex about it once you follow my writeup and get the tranny off. Then it's just a few bolts and swapping parts basically.
 
So I have to completly remove the tranny to replace the clutch?

FYI I'm a diesel machanic so I should be able to handle it.I don't know to much about FWD car's though thats why I asked.

Thanks alot for all your help!

Yeah tranny needs to be all the way out to do it. But after that it is simple. The tranny removal is the hard part... the rest is a cakewalk.

Posts #1 through #8 explain how to remove the tranny.

Here's a picture of my tranny out and you can see the clutch assembly (it's yellow) on the driver's side of my engine.

Torque wrench, pry bar, big ******* hammer, extension handle for more leverage on ratchet, engine support, impact, good set of metric sockets deep reach, flex head ratchets, 14 mm box wrench, tranny jack or a helper to help you hoist the tranny back in. Have a fun 6-10 hours if ur doing it the first time.

Yeah and go slow, label EVERYTHING. The slower you go taking it out, the faster it goes back in.
