Clutch Replacement

REMOVAL

1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove transmission as outlined under Transmission Replacement @ Manual Transmission/Transaxle/ Service and Repair.
3. Scribe marks on pressure plate and flywheel to aid installation, then loosen pressure plate attaching bolts one turn at a time, to relieve spring tension.
