Opinions Wanted - What clutch parts to buy and can I do it?
Thanks for the info, I am not sure I will be able to get it in time, but we will see. Any suggestions on the best place to get one quick in LA?
Hello,
I am in the Valley............
We all use "Valley Friction".... 818-765-5174
Valley Friction Materials in North Hollywood, CA is a private company categorized under Automotive Brakes. Our records show it was established in 1957 and incorporated in California.
Call them and you may be able to drop off your stuff and go get breakfast, do a couple of things, and come back and pick up your finished stuff.
You should consider having the pressure and flywheel Balanced as an assembly at the end.
They will do it there and mark it so you can mount the assembly same as they balanced it.
You will need a pilot guide, or an old input shaft to keep things lined up while you do the install.
Be Careful on the torque you apply to the pressure plate bolts, they are small and if you push things the fastener may fail.
This is the time to inspect the back side of the flywheel for traces of a rear main seal that has seen better days.
Don't let a failing rear main seal spoil your new disk.
On the pilot bearing,.... use a bearing, not a bushing.
Check your ring gear, if you need a new one ask Valley to put a new one on.
If yours needs touch up, now is the time to do it.
There may be a place like Valley Friction near you........
All I can say is that they have always come through for me in the past and have always done very nice work.
Best of luck, if I was closer I would offer to come by and lend a hand.
