A few tips are pay attention to the order of how the plates and friction plates come out. Order and replace the springs at the same time, while i am sure your springs are fine its best to change them out while you are in there. Order a gasket, Do not count on reusing the one that is on it now. Make sure you get all the gasket gunk off all the parts.
The most important thing is, if you plan on doing the work at a friends house and you leave the parts at home and lets say a friend picks them up for you, check his backpack to make sure you have all the friction plates. Dont try for hours to use only 4 plates getting pissed off your clutch is still not working only to discover at 3 am at an ihop that he still has one of the plates. While it makes a funny story and well you cant be mad as he was doing you a favor it still kind of sucks. dont ask me how i know  |
Thanks, I ordered new plates. I hope that's all I need. Do I need any super special tools? I looked at the pre gen DIY clutch replacement. If its anything like that, should be easy
