Baby needs a clutch


MercuryFree

Recommended Posts

Hey all, is anyone equipped/willing/able to guide/help me with a clutch install? Have got a flywheel thanks to spanku that I'm going to get machined and am currently getting a price on the clutch itself. Anyone able to help me out? Saturday preferred but I can always call in sick as a last resort if you are only available on another day/time.

Basically I have most of the tools that I would need I beleive I just lack such things as engine cranes and clutch alignment tools, and experience in doing clutches. Don't really want to screw it up.

Will provide payment in the form of beer/pizza/hugs/other if required :)

We should be able to take care of you, will have to find out where the engine crane has gone but should be able to sort you out

All you need is to get all the parts required and I (an probably a few others) will show / teach you how to do it...

Possible Saturday 13th any good for you? (provided i can find San crane again)

How bad is it?

Tried using the adjustment in the mean time? That will help out a little bit

CRASHR showed me how to do that today so I will try that, however 'how bad is it' may be summed up by 'wof place wouldn't pass me as they didn't want to do a roadtest cos they didn't think it could get up a hill' lol so no WOF...

Well if it won't get up a hill then it won't get to Bazza's lol

haha I had arranged to pick up something from cr4shr before I rooted my clutch, and I managed to get there today - those of you who know where he is will understand - (and back over haywards lol) and it was painful but I managed it. I think the wof guy was just being a bit paranoid, but with good reason however.

Awesome girlfriend has kindly decided to lend me zee cash (<3 :P) to get it done ASAP (on restricted so she can't drive after 10 so I'm her night-taxi) so assuming Liam can get me a clutch kit tomorrow I'll hopefully get it done friday while I'm in class.

Thanks for the offers of assistance anyways guys, I very much appreciate it! I'll just have to learn this job when I'm in a less needthedamncar position

I am happy to sacrifice my last non-slipping forward cog on my auto. 1st gear tow all the way baby!

Actually, I change my mind. I don't even think it'll even make it past the station.

I'll pop in for a nosey when the job is being done, provided it is outside normal work hours

As mentioned above, getting it done on monday at a workshop as I need it for work and uni and no WOF is not condusive to my wallet if I have to drive that much. Need a second car methinks for times like this.

But thanks for the interest / support nonetheless :)

San hooked me up with a flywheel and a place to get it machined, they did an excellent job so double thanks to san and MP Autos in Upper Hutt are recommended by me now also.

Me likes the shiney

how much to replace/install, estimate? cheers

Um the guy gave me a rough price of 4 hours @ $65 an hour. Will update with final price once it's all said and done

That's a pretty good price, most places won't be able to do it less than that

Yeah, I assume cheaper cos I'm supplying the clutch kit and a machined flywheel so they don't have to deal with that part of it. Probably doesn't include the price of consumables either but either way not too unhappy if it costs me around that all up :)

What clutch did you end up getting?

Any is ok as long as it's not an MP rebuilt one - they are good for brakes, rotors, machining, etc...but not clutches

I got a new oem replacement exedy. Was somewhat tempted by the HD but didn't really have the extra ~$215 lying around to justify it. Maybe next time when the car (hopefully) has more power to deal with

They're rebuilt clutches are really good, especially the uprated one, they have a pretty good reputation amongst race car owners

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
