Jason,
do you use the stock clutch pushrod and all associated parts from that
point back to the lever?

I think I skipped step 12, but I repeated step 16 twice, so all was good in the end. Yes the clutch is fully aligned and ready to go. It is a remarkably easy job. Couple other notes- *You can make a tool to hold the input hub from the old clutch plates. I ground out the rivets from a clutch plate and bolted a handle on. I also ground down a socket to use as a tool. Send me your address and I'll loan them to you if you want. *Really clean out the crankshaft before you put the new bolts in there, so the locktite can do it's job. *this is also a good opportunity to fix the two bolts at the bottom of the rear main bearing if they are leaking. Also it's a good time to jbweld the rear cam bearing plug if you feel so inclined. *It helps to have an assistant when you are stabbing the clutch back onto the engine. I put the driveshaft coupling on the tranny output, put it in gear, and used that to wiggle the input hub into the new clutch. Worked just fine and I didn't have to stick a screwdriver in there. BTW, if you are going to drink, please drink good beer. Jason Paul P. Linn wrote:
