[atl300zx]

Can anyone point me to a 2G (95-98) Eclipse FWD Nonturbo Clutch replacement FAQ/write up?

I dont think it will be that tough, just want to make sure i dont run into any snags.

TIA

if you have a shop it is easy, but i just did one in my driveway. Very hard, now this eclipse is slammed on the ground so getting the trans out from under it was pretty tricky. Make sure you get the shift linkage undone in all 4 places, mine got snagged and strecthed, $150 dealer part only. Make sure you dont mess up your clutch slave cyclinder when you unbolt is from trans. be careful with cv axles mine were a bitch. Its nothing like anyother clutch, the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate and all are one part, comes with no alignment tool. throw out bearing is built in and release bearing must be installed correct or you get that noise. but anyways g/l if you do it yourself, I got mine done but it took 2 times.

Bah sounds nothing like doing a teg clutch job. mine will be done on jack stands.....sounds like i may just take this to a shop....any recommendations on that?
