5spd guys, Does this spacer go under the flywheel or does the flywheel go right up against the crank ?

Flywheel goes right up against the crank then that spacer goes on the flywheel.

 

Whats the spacer for ??

Matt,

You're using the Fidanza right? If you are, do not use this spacer.

 

when does a thread get stickied or added to FAQ?

Yea im using the fidanza...dont use it ??

What are tourqe specs of the flywheel bolts and the pressure plate bolts ?? The book for the flywheel bolts say 25-33 ft lbs, but someone the other day said 65-69 ft lbs.?

if you have fidanza then no spacer. iver got the fidanza and trust me you dont want the spacer.

Yeah, no spacer with the Fidanza, I'm not running one on mine. I don't recall off the top of my head what the torque is for the flywheel, and a friend has my FSM right now, but 69-69 ft-lbs. sounds about right.

Now, for the pressure plate bolts I believe the FSM said 25-35 ft-lbs for those, BUT, that was for the stock flywheel which is not made of aluminum like the fidanza. The metal on the fidanza flywheel is VERY VERY tender. I used 20 ft-lbs on them to avoid stripping the threads out of the flywheel holes for the pressure plate (happened on two of my friends bolt holes on his stillen flywheel when he tried to do 35 ft-lbs.). 20 ft-lbs. is fine as long as you have equal torque on each bolt and you follow the tightening pattern... VERY important.

 

I did 15 on the pressure plate, then 30 on the 2nd go'round (the FSM recommends torquing it in 2 cycles). As for the flywheel (mine is Fidanza as well), 61-69 is right.

 

I had to mill the inside of the fidanza hole to fit onto to the motor. Kinda weird. I took barely any off, and it slid right on

Anyone have any tips on aligning the clutch disc ?? This is the first time Im going a clutch and I wanna make sure I do it right.

Theres no direction on my Clutchnet for the "Flywheel Side"....I know there is a direction on my Exedy, but not on my clutchnet. What side goes what ?

Thanks in advance.

-matt

 

That's normal.

 

Do you have a clutch alignment tool? You'll need one if not.

 

Yes I am getting one tomorrow before I mount it up

 

Any advice

I dont know what way the Disk Goes. On my Exedy, it is labeled "flywheel side" Do I put the Beefier side of the Clutchnet Disk towards the flywheel ?? Theres a beefy side of the disk and a thin side...

-matt

 

i vote beefy. only makes sense.

 

The flywheel side is usually the side opposite the side where the springs are sticking out.

 

This is pretty much the best way to describe it.

 

Matt,

I checked my FSM for you and the torque for the flywheel bolts is 61-69 ft-lbs.

Good Luck!
