    yeah, this was fun. We're not as fast as the Mr.JDM himself WJM, but it wasn't bad at all.

    I will NEVER drop a tranny again to do a clutch....

    its alot smoother. The 6 puck likes to shutter when it doesnt have enough gas but it shifts really smooth around 3000 rpm

    how about a write-up for future DIYs?:naughty:


    or is there already one on the site that I missed through my search?:)

    I've seen a few write-ups on clutch changes doing the traditional tranny drop, but not one in which the engine was removed.

    either way, cool pix.

    Why did you decide on a 6 puck? Are you still on the stock tranny?

    If you are still on the stock tranny a good organic would have held more torque than the gears can handle.

    My advise is to be careful launching it.

    Hopefully the STI clutch is just as easy.

    We really didn't need a write-up, it's pretty straight forward.

    I did find this one though that sums it up...

    I ordered the same clutch Steven is using because it is affordable and he's had it in for awhile now. I don't launch my car so if shouldn't be a problem. Thanks though.

    It's so easy ;)

    1. Pull engine
    2. Remove Clutch
    3. Install new clutch
    4. Install engine.
