[bolsterboy]

ok so its a 90, i need to replace the clutch, friend of mine who has a 95 mtx, said we can make a upper support, and take out the lower car brace take out the trans and replace the clutch, and ummm, i dont know how to do that, so if i can get how to make that, and some good ideas on the price of a good throw out bearing, or where i can search, with keeping in mind that i dont have a credit card and the parents dont want to use there credit on some piece of metal they know nothing about Thanks, Matt

www.shonutperformance.com for the Throw out bearing and a great how-to video guide for the clutch replacement. I am sure you can send him a MO if you don't have paypal or credit card.

Try this for the engine support. Workes great and is cheap to build.

The video is PERFECT for a first-timer.

I bought one and did the clutch myself. I had to have somebody help me drop the tranny off, but I did ALL of the wrench-turning.

If you don't have a lift or jackstands, they're about $10-20 apiece, and absolutely necessary.

I'd recommend new studs/ nuts for the y-pipe, they often times break when you try to remove it. You should also have new hub (axle) nuts, since you have to remove them and shouldn't reuse them.

Also, if your exhaust is old, a donut gasket (at the end of the y-pipe) will be necessary, or it's LOUD.

You don't have to remove the axle nuts to replace the clutch...

Yea dude, you don't have to remove the hub nuts for a clutch replacement. While we're on that topic you really don't even have to drop that Y-pipe either

You can Paypal www.shonutperformance.com if you can't use a credit card. Get the clutch replacement video and see if this is something you can do on your own.

You don't remove the hub nuts. The knuckles with axles still installed are pivoted rearward and suspended from the body with wires. Would you like a procedure that I wrote to perform this job? Yes, the SHO NUT video was very helpful. I recommend acquiring it.

Below are the topics I wrote regarding my clutch service experience.

The video is a MUST. I debated on doing it myself, but I'm glad I did. For you, don't forget you may need the flywheel upgrade from the 9.25 to the 9.75. You can check this before you start by removing the starter, feeling the PP against the flywheel. If the PP isn't flush with the flywheel, you'll need to get the 9.75.

Good luck.
