I think the bellhousing bolts are a nightmare to get to on that, and I wonder if the exhaust is in the way at all. Other then that it should be straight forward remove and replace.

OE style clutch or are you upgrading?

I would resurface the flywheel too.

[s3xrapt0r]

yea the exhaust has to be removed and im gonna be getting a new oem clutch with a light weight z1 flywheel. i kinda wanna do it my self but im looking for someone else to do it for some cash since im gonan need it done right the first time and im pretty sure ill **** something up at least once lol

[OutToWinPAHC]

Do the rear main seal too while your at it. If you have a warm garage, cold beers and a radio and jacks I'm sure you can find some local help

[s3xrapt0r]

i got 2 fruiends that are willing to help problem is none of us ever changed a clutch on a car beforemy one friend builds quads and dirt bikes lol but dosent mess with cars much except for routine stuff

[katillidie]

u come to me ill do it for 150-200

[EklipzGSXkid]

^^^^^

I would take that offer up, Because you will not find a cheaper rate then that, ANYWHERE... Unless you are having friends do it, Or someone who is not sure what they are even doing.

[s3xrapt0r]

lol i cant move the car so its gotta stay here (no insurance,registration) plus the clutch wont allow the car to move very far lol :\ mabey AAA plus will tow it up there .... my friends got it isnt it unlimited towing and unlimited miles ??

[OutToWinPAHC]

Nope I am a AAA premier member, unlimited tows within 100 miles, 1 tow up to 200 miles

[ThePrimerSuspect]

AAA wont tow it if its not registered. well maybe they will if theres a tag on it and you get lucky that the driver doesnt ask, but the policy is that the car has to be registered and road worthy (i.e. it has to have and engine/transmission installed and have wheels on it etc.)

[s3xrapt0r]

yea i slipped my driver a 20 to get it to my friends house cuz it wasnt street legal lol

[DPancoast]

put a plate on it and don't say anything, they wont ask. never have for me.

g.l. with it man... clutch is easy once everything is apart lol.

[s3xrapt0r]

LOL yea im not worried about pulling it or anthing like that im worried about putting it back in and it all being alright lol i get frustrated easily so i have a feeling im gonan break something :\ ive done all the mods on all my cars my self but when it comes ot clutches and internal **** im a complete idiot ! and ill admit it lol

[JaySpecV]

Still need the job done? If not i can probably take care of you.

[stover]

get a service manual for the car if you can, it usually has step by step instructions and torque specs for this sort of thing

[The Alchemist]

That 150-200 dollar price was a nice price. Honestly, for me to go all the way down to you, and change out the clutch on your Z, Id be asking for about 400 bucks.

That stuff is a pain in the ass. I usually do engine swaps for 500 bucks, which includes switching over the tranny, but its so much easier to do when the engine is out of the car.

^ But I have a car or 2 towed. I never got asked any questions other then whats your cell, where you at, and where you want it to go. They never verifited any docs or anytihng. But I do belive the official policy is registered and road ready.
