Flywheel Turner?

I did one last fall in my NA without a lift, but I don't think I would have been able to do it without a trans jack. I borrowed this guy from a co-worker and it worked great. You will also need a 2 foot breaker bar, 6 point (don't use 12 points) 1/2" sockets, about 1.5 feet-2 feet of 1/2" extensions, and at least one u-joint. A flywheel holder will make your life easier when removing/re-torquing the flywheel bolts and a seal puller will help removing the front/rear trans seals and the engine's rear main seal.

Here are the steps off the top of my head:

  • buy a copy of the Enthusiast's manual or a hanes manual if you want one that's NB specific. It's always nice having torque specs on hand
  • remove center console, shift knob, and upper shift boot
  • put car on jackstands
  • disconnect driveshaft by unbolting the rear yolk, leave in car for now
  • drain transmission (it will leak if you don't keep it level when you're dropping it)
  • break free all of the bell housing, starter, and PPF bolts. I was able to do this completely from under the car on a creeper
  • swing PPF out of the way (I was able to leave mine in the car, hanging from the rearmost diff bolt)
  • remove drive shaft (I was able to leave my exhaust in place)
  • unbolt/tie up the slave cylinder
  • preload trans jack to support trans
  • remaining remove trans bolts
  • drop trans. This involves some wiggling while pulling it away from the engine
  • do maintenance items (trans seals/gaskets, rear main seal, etc)
  • resurface your existing flywheel or install a fancy new aftermarket one. Don't forget to install a new pilot and throw out bearing
  • install new clutch on new/resurfaced flywheel using clutch alignment tool. Bolt flywheel to motor
  • install in the reverse order
