Post: How to Repair the Clutch

Before you begin replacing the clutch, make sure it is indeed the source of the problem and not something smaller like the pedal arm bushing or slave master cylinder. Park your car on a firm, flat surface.
Disconnect the cable at the negative battery terminal.
Use a jack to lift the front end of the car off the ground. Use jack stands or a sturdy ramp to hold the car in an elevated position. Use a hoist above or a support below to stabilize the engine
If your car is rear-wheel drive, then you should remove the transmission shifter next.
Remove the driveshaft.
Disconnect the clutch linkage so the cable is no longer connected.
Locate the speedometer cable and disconnect it from the transmission.
Locate the starter motor and remove it from the engine housing. Disconnect the wires, taking care to note the exact location of the wires. (When putting these wires back in place, if you connect them to the wrong terminal, you could short out the entire car’s electrical system and have to replace all the wires).
Locate all other electrical connections on the engine housing and disconnect them. Again, make sure you know exactly how to reconnect these wires after replacing the clutch.
Place a jack or some kind of structural support under the transmission and apply gentle pressure underneath it.
Loosen all the bolts on the transmission and disconnect it from the bracket.
Carefully slide the transmission out of place (you may need to loosen the jack slightly to do this).
You should now have access to the clutch itself.
Check the identification marks on the flywheel and pressure plate to help you know exactly where to put them back.
Loosen all the bolts holding the pressure plate and remove it from the car along with the clutch plate.
Carefully inspect the flywheel for any damage. Remove and clean, or replace as needed.
Watch for oil leaks around the entire clutch area.
Check the pilot bearing in the center of the flywheel and make sure all the needle bearings are properly lubricated.
Always clean the crankshaft flange before replacing the flywheel. Put the flywheel back in place and tighten the star bolts to hold it in place. Secure them according to the specified torque for your specific vehicle. (You should be able to find this outlined in your owner’s manual).
Install the new clutch and pressure plate. Don’t forget to attach the new throwout bearing to the throwout fork before replacing the other parts you’ve removed.
Put all the parts of the car you removed back in the reverse order of removal to access the clutch. Use extreme caution when rewiring electrical components.
Once all the parts are back in place, slowly and carefully lower the car off the jack.
Drive your car in a safe, quiet area to make sure everything is working properly.
