Clutch Install

[Go 33]

Hey random question, I searched and got nothing so yeah…

I'm installing a second hand clutch on the weekend into my r33 (exedy 9 puck cushioned button clutch, approx 15,000km old and matching machined/ lightened flywheel, got them off of Mitchy's Arrh 33)

Just wondering if I needed to wear them in at all over a certain time/km period, and how this is done, or if i dont need to worry about it as the items are second hand.

Cheers

Dont need to worry about running it in. But take it easy the first few km's to make sure you installed it ok

May I ask how much the clutch cost ya ? (excluding flywheel). I'm having the exact same clutch (brand new) installed for $1600

Thanks keefy. I seem to be paying a crap load for labour

To be expected, it's not a quick or easy job. Do it yourself if you want to save on labour.

Guess I shouldn't complain then. I'd prefer to pay to have the job done properly than screw it up myself

Exactly

I paid about $500 for my xtreme brass button clutch and $480 to have it installed

$480 for labour to fit into a 2wd skyline :laughing-smiley-014:

just to bring this up again

installed it with no drama's yesterday, took around 4 hours and got my hands nice and dirty.

the first time i started the car up it made a horrible screeching sound and made the same sound for around 5 kms.

but its all sweet now, bits hard and is so smooth

took a look at the old nismo 5 puk i had in and it was worn all the way down the rivets, not cool.
