Default Re: spec clutch tips

should have no problems, i just put in my stage 4 last night after having 20k trouble free miles with the s3 carbon... just upped the power level..

hardest thing is aligning the nose of the shaft with the pilot bearing.. its only in if the bellhousing and tranny are within a half an inch.. not an inch, half an inch.. from there you can pull the tranny up to it with the bolts

if it comes with a new throwout bearing i would use it.. just yank on the old one good and it will pop off.. twist and yank

my fav. way to bleed the sytem once everything is back in place is to pump the pedal/hold down (helper) crack then close bleeder when fluid comes out.. and repeat with 20 pump intervals until you cant hear any air out with the fluid and the pedal feel is good. feel free to email me if you have any snags.
