Step 11: Unbolt the transmission bell housing from the engine.

Step 12: Remove the transmission. This can be done by hand or by using a transmission jack.

Step 13: Remove the OEM pressure plate & clutch disc by unbolting the clutch pressure plate from the flywheel.

Step 14: Remove the heavy OEM flywheel by unbolting it from the engine's crank shaft.

Note: The difference in construction material is very noticable between the OEM friction plate and Fidanza's performance friction plate. Although the pressure plates look similar there was a noticable weight difference between the two, with Fidanza being on the lighter side.

Step 15: Remove the old pilot bearing using a bearing puller and install the new one supplied with the kit.

Step 16: Install the new Fidanza aluminum flywheel and tighten to 70 lb-feet of torque.

Step 17: Using the supplied clutch alignment tool, place the clutch disk (friction plate) in place.

Step 18: Install the clutch pressure plate onto the flywheel by aligning the pressure plate to the flywheel's alignment pins and tighten to 30 lb-feet of torque.

Note: Typically when you replace the clutch you would want to replace the throw-out bearing on the concentric slave cylinder. Since our project vehicle has less than four thousand miles on it, we opted not to replace the bearing as there was virtually no wear.

Step 19: Remove the clutch alignment tool and install the transmission.

Step 20: Bolt the transmission bell housing to the engine.

Note: Never use the transmission mount bolts to draw the transmission into the engine. The transmission should fit flush without needing to be drawn in.
