hey I need help replacing the clutch in my 2g gs-t I know how to bolt stuff in alignment is my Achilles heel though plus wanting to get an LSD installed now is that sitting in the main tranny area or in the clutch area still kinda new with stuff and needing to learn rather than bend over for the mechanic and pay for hours of labor at $60/hr or so

I've had to do this a couple times to my '90 Talon, and it's not too hard, just takes a while and can be a pain if you don't have help lifting the trans back in. What do you mean about alignment, though?

 

[GIRman67]

I guess there is some sort of alignemt that needs to be done or maybe I'm going back to my crazies again I'll probably get started when i can my buddy works at carquest and he gets me the parts I need while i get the parts he wants for his comp

also I need good advice on really good rust eater stuff I saturated every bolt in my car with PB Blaster to no avail I think the car was a coastal car ### there is rusty bolts everywhere especially in the places I'm attempting to replace and upgrade (i.e. my cat back exhaust) any ideas guys?

Oh, probably the clutch alignment tool. It's a little plastic tube with a spline end for making sure your clutch is centered. They're like $10 to buy. I've got one if ya wanna borrow it.

And PBBlaster is what I used. Might have to just keep spraying it once or twice a day for a week. If it won't come out, might have to just cut it with the angle grinder. On stuff like exhaust, most of those parts are replaceable. On other stuff, you can always drill it out and helicoil it. I did that on one my damn exhaust manifold bolts.

I bought my clutch kit (OEM clutch) came with an alignment tool gonna probably do it next week either tuesday or wednesday might need help seeing as most of the bolt in my car have been really hard to remove seeing as this cars has the looks of having been a coastal car what with all the rusted stuck bolts on the under side or it was driven on roads with pure salt during the winter

I might have a full exhaust system that I'll wanna part with soon. I've got two 1g Talons. One is 2.5" with no cat, and I think a flowmaster muffler. The other is actually 3" all the way back, no cat, and no muffler, just a resonator. I'll probably part with the 2.5" one, and if you're interested, I'll make ya a deal.

 

[GIRman67]

I just need a downpipe for my 2g it broke I already have a 3"cat back with mil eliminator and catylic converter that I took a broom handle to so just need the down pipe what can you wheel and deal for me buuuut if the price is tasty enough I might go for the whole thing
