Default Clutch Install

Does anyone know somebody that installs clutches and is not expensive? Or if you've done it yourself is it something i would want to try? Im also looking for an aftermarket clutch for an integra 94-01 gsr and a b16 tranny so if you know anyone let me know.

I think it's something you and a friend and a helms can do.
You will need a flat prefferibly paved surface.
Impact (air) tools make the job a lot easyer.
Get the clutch disk, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing.
You will need 12 point metric tools.

So are the mounts.

Well yes, those are obvious.
It's sort of annoying to get the car up in the air, no tranny and then find out that you need a 10 mm 12 point socket/wrench to get the pressure plate off. And if you are having the flywheel resurfaced, which is advisable you do, you will also need a 17mm 12 point socket/wrench.

Yeah the Pressure Plate bolts are 12Point...

You have to pull the axles/Halfshaft, maybe replace the axle seals and the tranny oil if the axle seals get damaged, remove the front tranny mount, side tranny mount, and rear tranny bracket bolts, remove any brackets and guards that may be in the way of the flywheel or holding the tranny and engine together...

Oh, have your car up on jackstands as high as you can get it...If you have to, pull the shift linkage off the tranny and unplug the sensors and remove the ground...Put a jack under the tranny to support it and pry it from the engine...

Set it aside and get the pressure plate/clutch disc and I reccommend you either have the flywheel resurfaced or clean it up with a little rubbing down with some 400Emery...

Replace the Rear Seal if theres oil stains behind the flywheel...

Pop the Pilot Bearing out with the handle of a screwdriver and pop the new one on using the same method...

Pull the throwout bearing out the tranny and pop the new one in its place...Put a little pit of Lithium Grease on the tranny shaft...I mean a little bit...

Reassemble and make sure not to overtorque the pressure plate...Take it easy for the first 100miles or so...


Or just call TK at (813) 477-7857 and he will take care of you...
