Hi all, I keep finding more and more things to change when doing a clutch change but my mechanic didn't tell me there were other things that could be changed so wanted to check if I got my list right (let me know if anything is missing):

Full clutch kit that comes with all the components

rear main seal (might as well while its out)

clutch fork

input shaft oil seal

Fly wheel remachined

front and rear input shaft bearing (worth changing?)

 

 

Yeah no pivot ball for the pull type. I went through the same process last year:

 

In the end I just ended up getting the spigot bush and clutch fork. The fork not really being needed as it's solid but thought what the heck and did it anyway. Flywheel came with the clutch. There's also the little rubber dust cover that goes on outside. Which in the end also came with the clutch.

I hope you are getting a good clutch. It makes all the difference for actually enjoying to drive the car :)

Yeah will be a basic exedy heavy duty clutch. Do you know if its worth replacing the input and output shaft bearing? I'm guessing they are behind the input shaft itself before the 4 bolts?

I can't see spigot bush on your list, it is worth always changing that when you do the clutch

That will come in the clutch kit, that's actually the main thing + clutch, I need to change because I'm getting grinding noise at idle and when accelerating at certain speeds but goes away when the clutch is in.

Do you know if input and out shaft bearing is behind the input shaft or it's deep in the gearbox? Wasn't able to find info on it.

Upgrade anything you need to remove, that could help performance.

 

 

Like the exhaust. While you're there, may as well do the turbo since it touches the exhaust too...

Get the tailshaft double checked too...

They are both in the gearbox.....box out if they need replacing

I know the gearbox needs to be removed, but was wondering if it's right behind the input shaft as the amount in labour will be alot cheaper to replace it, but will be alot more if it's buried all the way in the gearbox.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
