Clutch Job
Rating: +0
I installed a Barnett clutch this afternoon and thought I would share the info with all of you. Here are the steps and photo's of the process. It took me about 2 hrs to do with minor interuptions LOL
Drain oil and remove lower exhaust pipe.
Remove Clutch cover
Loosen pressure plate springs. Loosen them evenly in 2 or 3 steps
Remove pressure plate springs and clutch pushrod
Here is the stock clutch pack. You will notice the first and last disks are black and the others are brown. Thats very important if your installing a stock clutch again.
Here is the empty clutch basket..... now your ready for installation of the new clutch. I chose a Barnett clutch. I went to Phatsperformanceparts. The stealer wanted 280.00 for it and honda parts direct wanted 190.00 and phats wanted 185.00 go figure.
Here is the comparison between a Barnett disk and a Stock disk with 45,000 miles
Installation of Barnett clutch disk and plates. Its recommended by Barnett that you soak the plates for 5 to 10 min before installation. I started soaking mine before I started disassembly.
Pressure plate in place with springs being installed
Torqing pressure plate to 9 ft lbs
Install clutch cover, lower exhaust pipe with new gasket and fill with fresh oil and adjust your clutch free play before you start it.
