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!

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
