Looking at doing my clutch install this weekend. Have a newly rebuilt T5, centerforce dual friction clutch, new flywheel from autozone.

I was looking for a step by step instructions on how to do it.

What I see so far from the haynes manual:
1. Install Pilot bearing/bushing into crank
2. bolt flywheel on
3. Align friction late onto flywheel with tool
4. Bolt pressure plate to flywheel, (is this balanced whevever I bolt it is ok?)
5. Bolt bellhousing on engine combo

Since I have the engine and tranny out of the car I was going to stab the tranny into as a combo and drop in together.

Anything I am missing? any pics out there? I couldnt find any good threads!

 

That's about it....

Put the pilot, flywheel, clutch, & disc on the motor; bolt on the BH, with the fork & throwout attached; bolt the trans up to that; install it. Put the shifter in when it's in the car, before you put in the drive shaft or the crossmember. DO NOT push the clutch pedal until the hydraulics are fully installed back onto the BH and the clutch is fully operational!!!!

 

You have to have the driveshaft installed before you put the trans fluid in, otherwise you'll have a giant puddle of fluid under the car. Don't ask me how I know this

 

you'll probably figure something is wrong after a few gallons of fluid....

 

I only wasted half a gallon, I swear The dripping noise was my first clue.

 

is it okay to put grease on the pilot bearing? or is that a bad idea?
