[DML] Re: Clutch repair

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You really don't have to look very hard. Go over to dmcnews.com 
Click on technical and look at all the stuff on transmission. The hard
part is the covers. Very easy if you jack up the motor (well easier
anyway). When reinstalling you MUST use the tool (a piece of an input
shaft) to line up the friction plate and you must go in VERY STRAIGHT
when reinstaling the transmisssion. Don't get tempted in your
frustration to force anything togther. Stop, take a deep breath, take
it apart and try again. It helps to have the trans in gear and turn
the output flanges to get the spines on the input shaft to line up as
you attempt to slide the trans back in. Also much easier to put the
gear oil in the trans BEFORE you reinstall if you are changing the
gear oil. Not a bad idea to flush the clutch fluid too.
