Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Transmission Problems curtains User Nov 16, 2009, 8:57 PM Post #1 of 6 (1345 views) Need help on changing the clutch. Sign In Ok so its my first time attempting to change a clutch in my car (cause I can't afford to pay someone to do it). I've done lots of research and gonad do more before I actually attempt it and I also have the help of 2 Automotive mechanics book (each about 1" thick) to help me, and I'm pretty confident I know the steps of doing this. Where I'm stuck is the torque ratings for the bolts? I can't find a service/workshop manual for my car (1997 Toyota Corolla Levin BZ-G). Whats the side effects of just tightening them up normally? What should I do? or does anyone know where I can get this info? What do other people do when they DIY clutch changes?

What are you planning to use to support the transaxle and the engine? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. curtains User Nov 17, 2009, 4:29 AM Post #3 of 6 (1327 views) Re: Need help on changing the clutch.

Sign In I would abort that mission if that is all you have for equipment. That transaxle is not balanced at all and is heavily weighted on one side and without an adjustable transmission jack that the transaxle can be strapped to, someone is going to get hurt, not to mention the frustration you'll see trying to get it lined up to go back in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. curtains User Nov 17, 2009, 4:41 AM Post #5 of 6 (1318 views) Re: Need help on changing the clutch. Sign In what if I borrow a transmission jack from somewhere? cause my clutch needs changing but I really can't afford to pay someone to do it cause it'll cost me over twice as much and as I'm a student saving few hundred more is pretty hard. or any other suggestions?

Sign In I still think your biting off more than your bargaining for but as far as torque is concerned, it's not a big issue as long as you understand how much any given size bolt can handle before breaking or stripping. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
