Keep in mind if the job isn’t done right, you could seriously damage your transmission. If you’re in doubt, have a licensed mechanic handle it.
You can also customize your pressure plates, but it’s important that they’re designed to fit over your clutch plate. For a simpler option, choose a clutch plate that’s the same as the one you’re replacing.
It’s extremely important that you support the raised vehicle with the proper jack stands so it doesn’t fall off.
The alignment tool is designed to hold your clutch at the perfect distance from the transmission. You can find alignment tools at your local auto supply shop.
Additionally, many clutch kits come with matching clutch plates and pressure plates. Replace both at the same time so they line up perfectly.
For example, if your owner’s manual says your pressure plate needs to be torqued down to 24 foot-pounds (3. 32 kilogram-meters), then set your torque wrench to match it. You can find torque wrenches at hardware stores and auto supply shops.
