With Monster Clutch Co.'s sale on clutch kits still going strong we thought it was a good time for a refresher course on doing a clutch install for those DIY guys. Check out this quick overview on how to install a clutch kit on a 98-02 F-body Camaro!

First things first, jack up your car and secure it safely prior to beginning any work under the vehicle.

Right away, I wanted to point out that the most notable difference about this installation is that it’s a shim-less unit, unlike most other aftermarket clutch kits -- but I do encourage you to measure to confirm for yourself.

As with all other car projects, start with taking down everything in your way to get to your part -- the console, shift boot, shifter on the inside....

....the exhaust, driveshaft, transmission crossmember, tunnel brace, and the transmission itself all need to be unbolted and out of the way.

When it’s time to put the new parts on, make sure they are thoroughly clean and use red Loctite on the bolts that go to the flywheel/crank, as well as the pressure plate bolts.

Now, everything goes back together the same way it came off. Fill the transmission up with fluid, bleed the clutch, and adjust your master cylinder (if yours is adjustable).

Reinstall your transmission and crossmember and torque to spec. Then, install the driveshaft and torque arm, and torque bolts to spec -- now you can finally get out from under your car!
