time to do the clutch....

Post by Miyagi »

Well my clutch went last weekend and was looking for some info about doing it. Those who have do it them self i would like to know if you lifted out the engine or droped the gear box. Basicly i have a crain available but not sure which would be the better way to go about it.

cheers

You can slide the gearbox/t-case assembly back enough (about 10") so you have enough room to remove the clutch.

Well all done now, dam what a job!

i ended up taking the engine out and am glad i did. I found a head of stuff that needed attention. All up the paj got

* new clutch (thrust and spiggot bearings and fly wheele machined)
* oil pump replaced as well as oil change
* plugs, leades, coil re-wired (as in from the loom)
* new engine pully / belt tensioner
* new studs/nuts for extractors (both sides had been leaking exhaust from the block)
* full clean and detail (freakin mud every where!!!!)

Worked out i spent about 500 in parts. Worth every cent, the paj has not run this well in months.

Its amazing what an eye opener it is to do all this work and see just how much MUD SUCKS!!!!!!! save you car, stay out of mud!

WOW, she must be like a new one!

And you've saved yourself a fortune, $500 wouldn't have covered the labour and you know it was all done right. Good on ya.
