Alright. Ive gone through enough stuff with this car. Ive learned a lot and Im proud to say I did it with the help at SHO Forum and the guys from SHO Source. Thanks.
My first few threads on here were about my shifting. It was hard to shift into gears. I had to yank back to pop it in place. So I had a few suggestions and chose to replace my Shift Lever and bought a Clevis Repair Kit. My shifting is tight and feels nice, but it never fixed my problem. Its a rod shifter so I cant adjust it. I have pulled up on my clutch pedal to make sure it was adjusted. Still doing the same problems.
So I am on a tight budget...VERY tight budget and bought a cheap clutch for now. Thanks to one of the members on this forum site, I bought an....$85 clutch.... Great Price but Im thinking that Ill be the first to use this cheap clutch because the guy never actually bought it off EBay. Ill post a link down below for yall to look at. I own a 92 Ford Taurus SHO.

I have looked through the search but haven't exactly got what Im looking for. I have a chiltons book but I want to make sure this is right. Ive heard lots of ways to change clutches. And I might as well put it on here for anyone looking for instructions on how to do it. Your welcome in advance lol.
1. Disconnect Negative Battery Cable. Raise and Support vehicle
2.Remove the transaxle.
3. Loosen the six clutch pressure plate cover retaining bolts evenly to release the spring tension gradually, and to avoid distorting the cover. If the same clutch pressure plate and cover are to be installed, mark the cover and the flywheel so the pressure plate can be installed in its original position.
4. Remove the pressure plate and clutch disc from the flywheel.
5. Inspect flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and the clutch fork for wear. If the flywheel shows any signs of overheating (blue discoloration) or if it is badly grooved or scored, it show be resurfaced or replaced.
Then it goes on to installing. I just want to make sure the instructions are right. I will be dropping the tranny, right? I had a few guys that keep telling me I have to lift the engine out. Why in the world would I have to do all that? I was told about basically building an engine support bar instead of having to buy one. How much would that run me? Sorry about all the questions but this is my first clutch job.
And the most important question is.... What are the exact tools Ill need. I have the basic tools and such. Just what else is needed for the job? Im trying to budget so Im hoping for a list. My fast food job isnt cutting it lol.
