Installing Tremec 3550 & King Cobra clutch - Any tips?
Well, I ordered it. Here is what is going into my baby this weekend:
Tremec 3550 (will be running GM Syncomesh fluid) McCleod Steel Bellhousing King Cobra clutch and pressure plate Fidanza aluminum flywheel Does anyone have any tips/pointers on this installation? I have never installed a tranny before, so this all new territory for me. Any suggestions are appreciated! Here are a few questions that come to mind thus far: 1) When installing the flywheel bolts (they are new from Ford) can I use a air-impact gun or do I need to tighten by hand? 2) The instructions that came with the clutch say to spray everything (all clutch parts and flywheel) with brake cleaner...does this sound correct? 3) Should I get a new pilot bearing? If so, how do I install it? Does the old one just "pop" out? Thanks, E ------------------ 1991 5.0 LX Coupe - 38,000 miles 13.17 @ 106.14 mph w/ 2.138 60' |
