Clutch and Such

First of all when you replace a clutch you always need to replace the disc,thoughout bearing, presure plate. Inspect the flywheel;it may need to be resurfaced,inspect the pilot bearing,look at the slave cylinder;look for leaking oil.To remove the the clutch set the truck on jack stands make sure its not going to fall off the stands.Remove the dirveshaft,then the exhaust system.Remove the shifter inside the cub.Remove the speedo cable.Then place a floorjack under the transmission. Remove the bolts to the crossmember and lift the trans with the jack and remove the crossmember ( make sure when you are jacking the trans up that you don't jack it up TO MUCH because you can lift the truck off the jack stands and it will cause it to fall on you).Remove bellhousing bolts.Make sure the trans is on the jack and won't fall on you.With the jack under the trans let it down about half way rock it back and forth and remove the trans.

To reassemble I get a A1 clutch kit(thats a brand name) it comes with a disc, plate and a alining tool have the people at the parts store show you which way the clutch bolts on and the torque settings. Put it together in the reverse order.
