Tips and Suggestions on RJM Clutch Assembly Install

[TheWeez]

For anyone who hates their stock clutch pedal feel and wants a relatively cheap alternative to the clutch/flywheel install, I recommend buying the RJM clutch assembly. Although their website does a fantastic job with instructions, I felt I would share my experiences

First off, you don't NEED the swivel joint or needle nose pliers if you don't have them (they make life easier if you do though).

::For the claustrophobic::
After 3 attempts at removing the stock assembly by going on my back with both hands under the dash, I had panic attacks and had to quit
There was no way I was going to pay someone to work on my car, I've been doing this for 10 years. Sooo, I worked mostly on my knees and leaned over the side skirt using one hand the entire time

The top three hardest parts of the install were:
3- Taking the stock assembly out over the rod using one hand
2- Putting the pedal arm with spring into the main bracket and sliding the fulcrum pin in
1- Doing it all alone and sober (Don't try at home)

I was going to make a video but I couldn't even see the s**t that was going on under there so it would have been terrible

yes! I'm totally agreeing with you on this one here.

So worth it in the end! My total clutch travel is about 3 inches and feels like an on/off switch. I love it!
