I am getting ready to put my engine back in and that's means it's time to install the LWFW and Clutch. Any tips would be great.

The one thing I keep hearing from the pro's is when putting the bolts in they say 6 wet and 6 dry. I assume this is locktite. Is there any order to the 6 wet. when I removed the bolts I did not see any loctitie on them at all so I am not sure. does this go for the pressure plate as well.

The other question I have is what to grease and what NOT to grease. I have some olista long time. I do have the updated **** fork lever where they use the bushing instead of the needle bearings. Should I use any grease on this.

Thanks,

Jim,

Locktite on all bolts, double, tripple ck the torque. Grease the "****" fork bushings, actually should call them clutch fork. :P

Make sure the starter bushing is still in there on the transmission, look through the starter mount opening and you will see a brass bushing on the other end.


Make sure you changed out the guide tube to the longer version.


Grease the input shaft.


Good luck!!!

Oh yeah, make sure you mount the flywheel with the correct side out, and double check the clearance of the crack position sensor with a feeler gague before you slap everything back in.



Also grease the tip of the clutch slave cylinder that comes in contact with the clutch fork...

Thanks Robin. You said **** fork....

Thanks for the heads up on the starter bushing. It probably doesn't hurt to loctite all the bolts. I am still not sure about the input shaft. Is it the entire part or just the end. do the splines stay dry. Is the guide tube greased?

i am going to do the tip of the clutch slave. It's bone dry now and part of my clutch problem.

Do you remember the clearance of the position sensor. is it .02

I think what Robin is referring to is the starter ring gear. It can be installed backwards. Just ensure the ring gears groove faces the gbx. You will see how the pressure plate mates to it. The ring gear helps center the pressure plate once installed.

Flywheel position sensor gap is 1mm, ~.040". Always good to double check it.

That's the same regardless of whether you've got a stock FW or an RS model?

Yes sir.
