Clutch installation preparations.

[300rman]

couldnt find enough concrete info on installing a clutch. so, here i ask?

I only bought the fibers. so i sanded the plates, all with 360 grit paper. is this course enough, or should i go to 150 grit?

i filed out the clutch basket. the outside large basket was fine, and the aluminum center piece was too. hardly grooved at all, but i just "finished" off the surfaces.

how long to soak the fibers? i have heard from minutes to hours........
i would soak them in the same oil as i will run in the trans, correct?

i think that about covers it.

OH and is 9 bux a piece for OEM clutch springs out of hand? or is that normal? damn stealership :mad: :mad:

360 should be fine

a good rule of thumb is too let them soak for 1 hour..in the same oil.. even a half hour is fine..

go with HD barnett spring..cheeper..better

clutch boss's dont groove up nearly as bad as the basket, I think you will be good on that..

as long as you got the high spots filed flat ,just untill you hit the low spots.. your good
