Want the basics? Remove the shifter handle, driveshaft, starter, H-pipe, index plate cover bolts (2 each), remove the clutch cable cover, disconnect the clutch cable, remove the trans crossmember, transmission, pressure plate, clutch disc. Install in reverse order. Don't forget to install a new throwout and pilot bearing. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91 5.0 5speed</b> <br /><small>Member # 1867</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,4,31,0,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Out of curiousity, what will haooen if you do not resurface the flywheel? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>94_5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 6130</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,4,31,0,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 91 5.0 5speed:<br /><strong> Out of curiousity, what will haooen if you do not resurface the flywheel? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">im guessing rough shifts??????? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,4,31,0,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Uneven wear of the clutch disc, disc chatter, or contamination of the clutch (will not fully engage or disengage). <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Luke87GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 21</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,4,31,1,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> its a pretty straight forward job.<br /><br />Always replace the TO bearing, Pilot bearing, and RMS if you have the tranny out.<br /><br />DEFINITELY get a T5 steel bearing retainer too.<br /><br />Like JB said, use that clutch alignment tool.<br /><br />Enjoy! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>rickm347</b> <br /><small>Member # 5323</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,4,31,15,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> the pilot bearing the back of the motor might not be as easy as you want it to be. go to autozone and get a pilot bearing puller and slide hammer. they are a bitch.<br /><br />*also get loctite for the flywheel bolts, alignment tool, torque wrench. . . . .and some beer and thats about it<br /> <br /> <small>[ May 31, 2007, 03:48 PM: Message edited by: rickm347 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>RiverCityAuto</b> <br /><small>Member # 7664</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,5,2,18,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> how did the clutch install go..? you got some good details above so I hope all went well <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
