Re: [DML] Clutch repair

[Ryan Wright <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Robert,

It's not all that involved, really. First clutch I ever replaced in my
life was on my DeLorean, last year. From what I understand it's
completely straightforward as far as clutch jobs go. Bill will
probably chime in here and tell you all about being careful with the
splines, but other than that... I think it's pretty normal.

Just make sure you have a proper transmission jack, and if you can use
a lift somewhere I highly recommend it. Most of the time I wasted was
fighting with (1) the car on four jack stands instead of a lift, and
(2) no transmission jack. I got it out OK with a floor jack but it
would NOT go back in that way. Bought a transmission jack and bribed a
friend for help, and it bolted right back up.
