I need direction. Please help.

Big_Red · 11-03-2009, 10:57 AM

I have looked in the clutch FAQ thread and didnt see anything that will help me. Im planning on replacing my clutch with the ACT modified street and HD pressure plate. I know there is a thread about it on here but I cant find it. I need to know the torque specs and special tools that im going to need. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

TTT! None of these all knowing mods know?

clutch alignment tool should come with your clutch kit.
factory torque specs should not be used with aftermarket clutch kit.
but anyways..clutch bolts should around 35 ft-lbs..

What about bell housing bolts, drive shaft, and trans mount bolts? ANyone know the torque?

Do not quote me on this because these are the torque specs for the older gen02-07 but am sure their close to yours. Just see if you can get a manual

Bell housing(tranny to engine), was 37ft lbs
Driveshaft to rear diff I think is like 12 ft lbs(but because it spins I just tapped it with a hammer and called it a day. Putting it in gear will help stop some sping but not a lot)
transmission mount is 25 ft lbs

Clutch alignment tool should have come in your clutch kit
Flywheel my manual said 11ft lbs but that seemed wrong so I did what ACT recommended which I think was 23 ft lbs(says it on the paper right next to the bolt type)
Pressure Plate I can't remember anymore.

Hope that helps some what. Again try to find a manual for your car as it has everything there.
