How hard is it to install a modular clutch? I kno its time consuming but the difficulty in doing it?
I tried searchin to see if anyone has done it but I couldn't find anything?
My stage 1clutchmasters clutch is goin out.
When I get half way into the peddle the rpms jump up and Im not going as fast as I normally do plus its not grabbin like it use too.
Thinkin about buyin a stage 2?

 

Installing the clutch itself is very easy. Since it is a modular setup there is no need to worry about aligning. It's preparing for the clutch install that can be time consuming and scare alot of people. Total job took me 5 hours the last time i did it... we drink alot though.

 

Cool I was like dam this is the 3rd time replacing it and it doesn't seem to be that hard I've helped on a engine swap and have some skill.So y not plus I could do a write up or how to .

 

with that said... you'll have no problem.

 

hmm...since the subject was brought up and im always up for new info. Whats involved in the prep?

From the FSM: (note: I've replaced 4 clutces on a neon and 3 on an SRT-4... never used a lift)

REMOVAL
(1) Raise hood.
(2) Disconnect both battery cables, remove battery
hold down clamp and bolt, and remove battery.
(3) Remove air cleaner/throttle body assy. (Fig.
5)as follows:
(a) Disconnect proportional purge solenoid (PPS)
and crankcase vent hose from throttle body.
(b) Disconnect the Throttle Position Sensor
(TPS) and Idle Air Control (IAC) connectors.
(c) Disconnect throttle body air duct at intake
manifold.
(d) Remove mounting bolt and nut (Fig. 5) and
partially remove air cleaner assembly.
(e) Disconnect accelerator and speed control (if
equipped) cables after the assy. is removed from
position. Remove air cleaner assembly from vehicle.
(4) Remove battery tray from bracket.
(5) Disconnect ground cable at battery tray
bracket.
(6) Disconnect back-up lamp switch connector.
(7) Remove shift cable-to-bracket clips (Fig. 6).
(8) Disconnect shift selector and crossover cable
from levers (Fig. 6). Remove cables and secure out of
the way.
(9) Disconnect the vehicle speed sensor connector
(Fig. 7).
(10) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(11) Disconnect and suspend clutch slave cylinder
from transaxle (Fig. 8) (Fig. 9).
(12) Remove transaxle oil drain plug and drain oil
into a suitable container.
(13) Remove both axle shafts. Refer to Group 3,
Differential and Driveline for the correct procedures.
(14) Remove structural collar (Fig. 10).
(15) Remove the left engine-to-transaxle lateral
bending brace (Fig. 10).
(16) Remove bellhousing dust cover (Fig. 10).
(17) Remove the right engine-to-transaxle lateral
bending brace (Fig. 11).
(18) Remove starter motor (Fig. 12).
(19) Remove four (4) modular clutch-to-drive plate
bolts. While removing bolts, one tight-tolerance (slotted)
drive plate hole will be encountered. When this
bolt is removed, mark driveplate and modular clutch
assembly at this location, and be sure to align marks
upon reassembly.
(20) Support engine at oil pan with screw jack and
wood block.
(21) Remove transaxle upper mount thru-bolt.
Gain access to this bolt through the driver’s side

(23) Obtain a helper to assist in holding transaxle
while removing transaxle-to-engine mounting bolts
(Fig. 14).
(24) Remove transaxle from vehicle (Fig. 14).
(25) If installing a new or replacement transaxle,
