Before removal of the old clutch from the vehicle unbolt the slave cylinder, leave the line connected and check for full travel. Correct any hydraulic, release fork, or pivot ball issues before proceeding.

Full travel of the slave must provide a minimum of ½" travel of the release bearing.

1. Follow transmission and clutch & flywheel removal instructions per the factory shop manual.
2. Reinstall the resurfaced or replacement flywheel. Torque flywheel bolts to 100 ft. lbs. (Blue Loctite recommended.)
3. Note the flywheel side of the new disc. (The splined hub protrudes approximately 1/2 inch on the clutch side but only 1/8 inch on the flywheel side) and install the clutch assembly using the included alignment tool. Tighten cover bolts one turn at a time progressing around the cover until the bolts are snug. Torque to 35 ft. lbs. (Blue Loctite recommended.)
4. Remove the snap ring on the I.D. of the release bearing and remove it from the bearing carrier.
5. Install the supplied O-ring in the groove on the bearing carrier
6. Using minimum lubricant, push the new bearing onto the carrier. The O-ring will secure the bearing in place.
7. Reinstall the bearing and fork assembly to the bellhousing.
8. Reinstall the transmission securing it with two bolts.
9. Before reinstalling the slave cylinder, check that the fork has at least ½ inch free travel. Install the slave cylinder.
10. BEFORE GOING FURTHER: Put the transmission in high gear, depress the clutch pedal, and using the driveshaft if necessary, turn the output shaft of the transmission to confirm clutch release.
11. Ease the pedal back until you are unable to turn the output shaft. The pedal travel indicates the distance from full release to initial engagement and confirms adequate travel for full release.
12. Complete reassembly according to the procedure shown in the shop manual.
