Re: clutch replacement
mom, did you buy a repair manual for him? If not it may will probably pay for itself off this job alone. Plus, he seems motivated enough to continue doing his own repairs. I'm sure it would make a good gift for him. I'm sorry I can not give you more advice, there is a lot involved with the clutch (example: what engine is it?) and it would be nearly impossible to walk him through the job online. Good luck.

Re: clutch replacement
In all honesty, I think it is easier to pull out the whole motor and then work on it while it is out.
Especially with the 2nd generation MX-6's... the motor swaps are easy stuff. Motor could be out in a few hours. Is this a V6 or a 4 banger? and what area are you from?

Re: clutch replacement
He has to drop everything from the entire driver side of the car from top and bottom, disconnect the motor mounts and tilt the engine ( transmission end ) down torwards the ground but make sure not to crush anything while the intake manifold and all that is pressed up against the firewall.
Goodluck. |
