stolen 5.0 Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 front wheel drive is a pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Yeah, I'm gonna say screw doing a FWD clutch. Heck, I've never even tried, and honestly don't want to. smile.gif And Dave, that camel toe pic used to be the background on my computer.

Turbo Ben Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Yes, changing a clutch on a FWD car is a pain in the ass, I did mine not too long ago with the help of bigbabyjesus. You're going to have to take out the axels and drop the tranny. You really should find someone who has access to a garage with a lift. We did it in my garage, and I will never again do it there.

20G TSi Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 there are some who say fwd clutches are a pita, I'd have to disagree. 1. you dont have to screw with a rust welded exhaust 2. There isnt a driveshaft that is a pita to remove from the rearend. 3. FWD trannys are light and are easy to work with. 4. the FWD driveshafts/axles do not need to be removed, just pulled loose from the tranny. Hell, in the mustang, you even have to unbolt one of the headers to get the bellhousing past the collectors it sux. that said, if I were around the columbus area, I'd help for food and your sister (maybe?).

All you need is a trusty jack and you are set. There are a lot of bots to relmove though and you need to remove both axles. If I was still out there I would offer a hand but I'm not so I can't. smile.gif It is not that hard though trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20G TSi Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 how the hell do you move the tranny rearward to get the input shaft out of the pilot bearing/clutch plate if you dont unbolt the driveshaft from the rear? I've NEVER seen anyone HAVE to remove an axle in a FWD clutch swap... just take the ball joint, and vehicle/suspension dependant, tie rod end apart, and pop the axle out of the tranny... you can then just move the axle out of the way and remove the tranny... this way you dont have to fool with the rust welded axle nut and the possibility of screwing up the axles threads.

Nitrousbird Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Jason, I think Tommy was meaning to say it isn't hard to undo the driveshaft from our rear-end's.....mine is easy. I have 1.75" Hooker Long Tubes w/ a 4" Mufflex Y-pipe, and don't have to touch the exhaust to pull the tranny. I don't think most of the guys running true duals on our cars ever have to move the exhaust to pull the tranny either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 I have to remove the driver side axle on my sentra because of the way it is in there. On the pass side you just pop it out and let it lay. And I don't mess with the axle nuts those things don't just pop loose. I just take apart the suspension. If I did do dual exhaust on my car I think I would make it so that I don't have to remove it to get my tranny out. tongue.gif [ 19 November 2002, 01:18 PM: Message edited by: GRN96WS6 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could bend the collectors out of the way, but call me a puss, i'm afraid to muck up a set of $800 headers (1-7/8" & 3.5" collectors for a 351w in a mustang are custom builds) Plus, I take the old mustang apart soo frequently (for upgrades, etc.) that the header bolts never have a chance to seize, so its not too bad. When the 'stang was stock, you COULD swap clutches w/o dropping the exhaust also... but there's only soo much room when you get to changing things almost twice the size as stock Even then, having to work around the exh. would make it more of a pita than just dropping it all together. I still say FWD clutches are easier, but thats my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
