No we slid it over. Ur gonna use impact gun for like outside bolts, motor mounts have to come out...you'll see which ones. Drain diff. and take axles out. I hope you have spare muscles....haha your gonna need em to get those fly bolts off. Have Jeff or whoever hold the crank and use a block of wood for extra leverage. Don't forget your gonna need 2 jacks. 1 for the engine (under oil pan) so it doesn't smack ur head and 1 for the tranny. It's tricky and u have to be Gumby at times but you'll get er done.

I had an ACT Stage 2 Extreme, with a Prolite flywheel on mine... Worked great and took about 40-50 launches at the track with drag radials...

Get the streetlight though, prolight is great for road racing but that's about it. A mechanic of mine installed both for only 200 and I had it back 2 days later. Dezod hooked me up with the parts... He has some package prices for the ACT stuff... Best clutch you can buy IMO. GL.

BTW - Once the clutch is replaced you should definately be in the 13s. At 7psi untuned I ran a 14.5@96, averaging 14.6@95.5. This is all with a bad alignment so your traps should be just a tick over a hundred. I'm guessing 13.8@103. Hopfully you get it!

Update, after a late start today (12 noon - lateeee night last night! Oye)...

Just got the clutch out about 45 min ago. It was much easier than I thought it would be. Hopefully new clutch will be here on Monday according to fed ex.

Here are some photos of everything:

A cool setup I copied from the Helm manual. They actually have a tool like this to do the job - except theirs is metal of course. But, it works well!


Engine is supported by the chain...


Flywheel - I'm not too sure what this is supposed to look like stock, but if you look at the photo, the part where the clutch rode is actually about 1/8" LOWER than the outer edge. I thought it was supposed to be higher! If so, whis was my problem...WOW....


Pressure plate, it appears there are a few burned spots....


Cluch disc - didn't look too bad. Not sure if its glazed or not....actually had some material left.


Lastly - parting shots...See you in hell fvcker!
