I'll be replacing my clutch this week for next weeks A/X.
How much time should it take? Would you drop the whole works and split the trans off on the ground or just drop the trans? My time has finally come...To do a drop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) KT |

I would do trans only, less work, maybe a little more uncomfortable, unless you are on a lift. Then it's no more discomfort at all. I am use to working on the floor, etc. 901 weight I think is approx.75 lbs. Are you going with lightened components? Alone not in a rush, looking over everything, and no surprises (right) 2.5-3 hours. That's me, I work slowly. No rush. When are you going to do it? Need a hand? Let me know.

Thanks for the offer, Martin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
I don't know when I'll do the work. Likely, it will be in the evenings all week. I'll let you know. KT |

Gonna drag it out huh...Ok, it's not that big of job....not like changing, say a GE CF6-50. NOW that is an event...I have a really wierd schedule. It would have to be planned for me to assist. Don't forget the new rear main seal/o-ring for the flywheel.

1.5 hours to drop the engine and trans, 30 minutes to change out all the parts, 1.5 hours to put it back in. If you're reusing your flywheel you'll have to take a break to get it resurfaced. You should also think about getting the flywheel and pressure plate balanced at a machine shop (TEM Machine Shop in Napa) to help smooth things out. Let me know what your plan is. We'll get you setup. Lets do it in two days. I need to make some tech articles. So I can make an engine drop article and a clutch job article. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mark, thanks again!
What a blast! The motor/trans is out. Clutch out. Replaced injector seals, manifold gaskets, intake sleeves. Cleaned oil cooler. Replaced clutch with 911 215mm. Replaced engine compartment seal. Replaced rear main seal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Fastened trans to engine. Ate hamburgers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burger.gif) Button it up tommorow.

That oil cooler was filthy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
Do you have the clean shot? How it cooled it all, I'll never know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) KT |

O.K. it's all done and on the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Repaired one and replaced one rear trunk pivot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Faked a battery tray repair replaced alt belt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) The clean oil cooler is a big improvement. I recommend checking yours if you have any cooling issues. The car used to read "P" on the "TEMP" gauge when hot. Now it shows"E". Overall time spent just boopin' along, including eating burgers, about 10 hours. KT |

BTW , Guys,
the 6 spring clutch without an oily spray does run quite a bit better. Always change out the $8.00 rear main seal. logical T |
