going to replace my stock clutch, flywheel, spiggot bearing, thrust bearing, and clutch fork pivot.

im saving for exedy hd cusion button clutch, exedy lightweight flywheel, and nismo pivot.

i did a transit van clutch yesterday at work, to get the spiggot bearing out i drilled a hole in the back and slide hammered it out, can i do the same on my gts4?

If you do a search this has been discussed before - most recommend packing the area with grease then hammering a shaft that's the same diameter as the spigot hole into it, which makes the grease push the back of the spigot and it should pop out. Didnt work for me tho....

someone told me about the grease method but really didnt like the sound of that so i tried my own way, worked well tho i think im going to get a clutch alignment tool and bearing puller... cos not all bearings will be the same

ive decided im going to do the rear main seal while the box is out too.

i have been driving around with the clutch slip for awhile now, only slips once the car heats up anything and around 4500-5000 rpm it starts to slip and rev out, would this be doing my engine and gearbox any damage?

i got another transit job.. this one has a leaky rear main seal, and a ASM box and i have to do it on the ground... fml

i just want to work on my car

i find quickest and easiest way is CARFULLY die grind the bush until its very thin with a die grinder and metal burr, then just a few taps with a hammer and screwdriver will split it into pieces, take the bits out with long nose pliers, use the air gun to blow out any swarf, done. probably takes 5-10 min to take your time, as you obviously don't want to be grinding your crank away with the die grinder

yeah man, the slide hammer of death haha.

ill try hook the slide hammer in there and get it out other wise i can cut it out, or bash it out with grease.

gonna get light flywheel, cusion button, rear main seal, bell housing/engine gasket, spiggot & thrust bearings, nismo clutch fork pivot. is there anything im missing?

yeah thanks people.

i noticed the replacement item is a bush not a bearing?

if thats the cased i will have to remove it with the grease packing method or grind through it and cave it in

Well its a bush (aka plain aka journal) bearing, just not a roller bearing. You can get roller spigots, but i've heard they're not reliable. Its also made from sintered bronze, so its full of tiny holes, and the holes are used hold lubricant.

Nah, thats a good list (if you like button clutches...:). Some suggest doing the gearbox input shaft seal, but i didnt bother. What's the bellhousing/engine gasket? I think you may be assuming there's something there that inst!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
