I bought a complete swap kit, but im sure the parts are nothing special. i was told to get a new clutch disc, pressure plate, and hydraulic set up. do you agree with this?

 

im not asking if its possible or anything like all the others who do not search.

 

i would definitely get a new disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and have the flywheel surfaced. I would probably try to re-use the hydraulics. I reused them on my swap and they've worked fine for a few months now, just depends on if you want to gamble since the clutch master is no fun to install.

 

is there another name for the throwout bearing? like a release bearing?

 

yep, it's the same thing

 

new clutch/pressure plate... re-use the hydraulics if you can like was said up above.

im going through this swap also, dont want to use a stock clutch lol

 

apparently the clutch is new i just found out. but its not really a nice one/big deal or anything. ill check it out when i get it.

 

oh you didnt get it yet? which year is the transmission from.

 

i bought an 88 v8 tranny. and from somebody else i got the rest of the swap parts. the entire swap, except the torque arm mount. the guy who sold me the swap told me the clutch in the package was new and he didnt remember what brand and it was for performance.

 

thats good, its from an 88, so its a world class

 

i was aware of that. with the new motor i had to be sure to get one of those if i wanted it to last more than 5 minutes.

 

is there a guide you use to make sure you do anythin right? or dont forget anything? im trying to find one on this site like a sticky but i cant

 

go to thirdgen.org but not the forums. then on the left click technical articles. scroll down that page until you hit a section of links in transmission. there will be one called auto to manual swap in an fbody. they fail to mention the torque arm mount however.
