In Reply To Clutch Install tips / advise ? :) posted by AppleJacks on March 08, 2006 at 10:38 PM
     
Message The items I had on hand (or should have had on hand) were these:

Clutch
Flywheel
Throw-out bearing (usually comes with the clutch)
Pilot bushing
Rear turbo coolant hose
Shifter bushings - you're right at these so may as well replace them. My stock plastic ones were toast and I didn't even know it.
Appropriate exhaust gaskets
Rear main seal
Clutch fork pivot ball

Make sure you have a clutch alignment tool for the Z32:

Also a seal puller if you're changing the rear main seal - it's the top tool in the photo below. You can also remove the whole rear oil seal retainer, but then you'll need to have the gasket that goes behind it to replace it. You'll see that part in my photos and the Photo Guide oil seals page.

Here is my collection of photos from the process.

My post after the job was done.

Applicable pages in the Photo Guide:
Clutch
Tranny
Drivetrain
Oil seals

The draining coolant on the 3rd-from-bottom pic on the clutch page is that rear coolant hose (well, where it WAS).

Here are my quick notes from a recent thread.

Hope this all helps. Good luck, and have fun! =)
