Default Clutch installation

When installing a clutch and flywheel after you torque to proper settings are you supposed to tighten the bolts further like 90 more degrees or something?

NO! There is a tq spec listed in the paperwork that came with your clutch. Do not exceed those numbers.

Flywheel bolts are torqued in three phases, the torque specs are 15-37-74 ft/lbs of torque. The torque sequence is 1-4-6-2-3-5

Pressure plate bolts are torqued in three phases, the torque specs are 20-40-52 ft/lbs of torque. The torque sequence is 1-4-6-2-3-5
