could any one give a list of tq specs for all the bolts when doing a clutch swap
examples
trans to bellhousing
bolts that hold drive shaft on
flywheel
pp
slave
bellhousing to motor
crossmember
ext....

 

bellhousing (trans and motor bolts)= 37 ft lbs
slave = 6 ft lbs
driveshaft = 16 ft lbs
flywheel = 74 ft lbs (15 then 37 then 74)
PP = 50 ft lbs. (35 then 45 then 50)
Trans mount nut = 77 ft lbs
Trans support = 66 ft lbs

Dont forget to clean the clutch disk, flywheel, and pp mating surfaces with brake cleaner before installing to get any grease, oil, or body oils off so as to not contaminate the material. Also, apply white lithium grease on the splines and the end of the transmission input shaft. Last but not least, while installing your transmission, remember to loosen the bleeder vavle on the slave cylinder otherwise you will probably not be able to push the transmission all the way on. Good luck and have fun.

 

whoops that was supose to be under my name but I was logged on under my buddies. He was on my computer earlier

 

thanks, is there any you forgot? j/w

 

well there is the 4 shifter bolts and the couple of nuts that hold the exhuast mount and the tq arm mount on the transmission but those I just went with the 2 grunt rule. I would try to find specs for the shifter bolts becasue some idiots (LIKE FORCE FED PERFORMANCE) will strip two of them out. Remeber your going into very thin aluminum up there. Also, you have to put and ring of RTV around the edge on the shifter when re installing. You will also want to drain the tranny to make it lighter on you to remove and install and you will need some form of thread sealant that can stand heat to apply on the fill and drain plugs so that they dont leak on you when the tranny heats up and expands a little.

 

ok thanks. now where can i get the clutch allinment tool?

 

usually comes with the clutch. Otherwise you can give me your address and I can mail you mine.

 

i ordered the new ls7, i dont think it comes w/ one, you want any money for it?

 

no thats ok. I am just going to put it in an envelope so it will only be 37 cents.

 

and it will work for teh ls7?

 

it should, your not replacing the input shaft on your transmission so the ls7 must be built around those splines(teeth).

 

ok sweet, thanks again
