any DIY'ers do clutch around the ATL metro area??
the thing is, my clutch is fried.. or will be fried very soon; i was at a hill and it couldnt make it when it was in the middle of the hill.. so i had to go all the way down, speed up and go past the hill.

anyways,

if anyone is experienced or have the equipment (jacks/stand/basic stuff), i was wondering if i could come over and do a clutch job with whoever.

of course, i'd pay, but i just want to learn how to do it myself, and i'm aware clutch jobs arent very do-able by self?

lmk guys..

*edit*
sorry for the stupidity on my part..
this would be for a 1991 nissan 240sx.
i have basic tools and an impact and tq. wrench, but i have no experience in changing out clutches.. so i am out of luck :(
*/edit*

That should be a Sat evening job with the parts a buddy and 4 jackstands, unless that's some strange RWD system...

240's are relatively easy... just like any rwd vehicle...

I don't mind helping you man. Just PM me if you still need help. THe only hard part is getting the tranny out since you don't have a lift. It would be even better if you have those long socket extensions for the bolts on top next to the firewall. Im talking about those really long sockets, like 2 feet long haha. Otherwise it shouldn't take long.

haha shit..
well, acet is supposed to come help me this or next saturday..
more hands the better.. i only have like.. 6" extensions.. :(

Okay

well..like i said. just pm me if you need help. 6" is way too short to reach it with the tranny mounted on the car...hahah. It's not really an extension, more like a rotational socket with a long end. I hope you plan to ressurface the flywheel since the tranny is out, don't want to go back in there again.

?...I don't think you can make a stock flywheel lighter, you can only resurface it. lighter flywheel like Fizdina(sp)will give you better throttle responses but usually just for track. My flywheel on the CA is so freaking heavy but I like the torque it provides^_^. You can look up any automotive machine shop(one near my house) and they can resurface it for fairly ok price.

ooh.. i see :(
well
i decided not to shave it anyways.. it;'ll probably run me aobut the same cost as getting a lightened flywheel
