The car MOVES !!!! I installed my first clutch today, with the help of my father and my savior Brian who came up with the correct alignment tool. I now have a 2002 Z06 clutch. I was amazed at how light the clutch pedal was even though I was told a few times it would be that way..
Bleeding is a bitch.. simple as that. I just wanted to let everyone know that a clutch can be done by a normal person. Would I do it again ? Probably not. I will probably pay for the next one to be put in.

- Yeah, I am glad that I did it, and it defintely was not as bad as the cam/spring install. However, to get a cam/springs installed its around $600, to get a clutch installed its around $250... which seems to me like way too little money.
- When it is all done and finished.... yeah.. it wasn't that bad... It is just at that point when you are trying to put the transmission back on, that is when you say... "Why am I doing this???" <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: The car MOVES !!!! The first time is always a bitch. I said the same thing about paying someone the next time but I pulled my tranny out 3 times so far and it is a piece of cake once you know how to do it. I get to install a 12 bolt in the upcoming week. I broke my damn rear again. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">
