has anyone here replaced a clutch themselves?? if so is it hard, did it take long or is it just easier to get it done by a pro??

[Hotwire]

Tangles, got this reply from my friend who worked in the radiator industry for about 10 years:

Dodgiest backyarders is Motor Radiators in the city, can’t remember street name but I think it’s Halifax, but definitely don’t go there. Probably one of the better quality places near by is C&C Radiators in Kent Town on the Parade West. The guy’s name is Greg… Looks like a viking… Not the cheapest place around from what I used to hear, but definitely one of the better repairers. Hope this helps.

Its not that hard, The gearbox is just f**k off heavy thats all, if you had someone to help you its a bonus..Once you got the exhaust undone and gearbox off pretty simple it helps if you have that clutch lining up tool also...

But I do mine on hoist these days..instead of driveways

Lets us know how you go........I'm thinking of fitting the Exedy Hyper Carbon Twin D Core (with the Boss Drive).

Interested to know if anyone has had any experiences with a Boss Drive setup and their thoughts.

NISMO also do a similar unit with a Boss Drive

i was gonna get one of those coppermix clutches from nengun, just didn't wanna wait 3 weeks for it arrive though they are really good clutches though, if this clutch goes then i will probabbly go for one

Yeah I think both units look pretty good but I was trying to compare the 2 with their different intermediate plate setup and I'm not sure if one is better than the other.

The NISMO is about $250 cheaper but I'd like to know which is the best one and what the deal is with the Boss Drives.
