Did you seen the instllation of carbon LSD on the previous article?

I will show you how a clutch is installed today!!

1) This is the 350Z transmission case.

2) Remove the mission case with a transmission jack. It is very important to use the jack.

3) Now you can see the stock clutch. Then remove the clutch cover, disc and flywheel.

4) 350Z end of the crank.

5) Flywheel assembly. Please make sure to use  the right tightening torque for the flywheel bolts.

6) Install the carbon discs, clutch hub, middle plate, pressure plate and clutch cover assy.

7) Align the discs and the hub to the center of the crank shaft with a centering tool.

Input shaft assembly.

9) Assemble the transmission case. Please use the transmission jack.

10) Almost done! Sometimes it is hard to assemble the input shaft into the clutch plates, but don’t shake the mission case hard. Shaking the case causes to damage the carbon discs.

11) Done!!
