Sounds like fun. Get a couple nice peices of cardboard to lay on when you put that clutch in, cause concrete takes the body heat right out of you in the wintertime!

not horrible... but when installing a clutch you should always resurface the flywheel to give the new clutch a good surface to brake in on and your clutch will last longer and grip better... Id also change the fluid in your trans... might as well while you have it out...

Yeah that is what I will do. What type of tranny fluid does the T5 like best?

Tell us you resurfaced that flywheel. I could see the checking and cracking from here! Lol! Seriously, though, did you?

Chern_889: Thanks for info, and no the car didnt get wrecked. I just figured it would be easire to get under the car without major problem or getting greasy nasty fingerprints on my new bumper!

reddy351: Nope, just slapped on some brake cleaner and bolted on new clutch. JK I didn't have a choice!!! Plus it was an easy $15 mod, 2 hours at the tranny shop and they were done!

Thanks for the compliments!

Damn, I knew my nickname for my new Red GT wasn't unique. Guess I can't call mine my "redheaded mistress" anymore.

Nice work, BTW.

Thanks, I'm really happy with it. Can't wait to sell off the Green GT and move on.
