Rep Power: 0 Engine Swap: Clutch Handling
Per other posts, I am in the process of swapping engines due to a thrown rod.
I have the old engine out, and the manual transmission separated from the engine. The car has 165,000 miles on it.
A few questions:
1. Given I have to move the clutch from the old engine to the replacement one, do you think I should just replace the clutch?
2. I have never messed with a clutch before. Any tricks I need to know? The manual talked about a handful of special tools - do I definitely need these? Where do I get them - are they available for "rental"?

Re: Engine Swap: Clutch Handling
1.) I would, since you have it out.
2.) I know you need an alignment tool and most clutch kits will come with one.
Have you seen the clutch DIY on the site?

With the engine out you have alot of room. I would do it now. The tool should come with the clutch, at least mine did. Its a good idea to change the timing belt too since its right their. gl
