Clutch installation

Post by realred96 »

Just installed a RPS sport series pressure plate with a street disk and am gery pleased with the result. This is on a 2003 GT . Clutch really started to go south at 50K but we milked it to 61K. I did the installation in my garage by myself and it was not that bad of an ordeal. I did a write up with pictures and if the site is intersted I can post it for future reference.

I have the same exact setup sitting in my living room, just waiting for the stock clutch to go. A write-up with photos would be MOST appreciated! Thanks

Hey Ponyota,I'm clueless on most car work but I'll come over and help you change yours out if we replace mine too! I got a quote at over $1000 to have mine replaced by a shop... I can't afford that!Dave
