clutch came in....pic

[Fearit22]

Hey that sounds easy. So let me get this straight ... just take your whole car apart pretty much lol...

[mayberry]

na bro ur just lookin at it the wrong way.....what i find easy others might find diffacult. its really only a days work w/o air tools. w/ air tools it can be done in 4 hours.

[Fearit22]

It just seems like there are too many opportunities to screw stuff up. Personally, I'm glad I paid $200 to have it done for me.

[mayberry]

200 is straight. u should more confidence in your mechanical abilitys though....our cars are very simple.

[Fearit22]

Yeah, I'm starting to get more comfortable. I'm really good at working on stuff and know enough about cars to change out pretty much any of the stuff. At the time I just didn't feel comfortable working on the internals of anything. I just would like to have a really knowledgable person around to advise me ya know. This summer I'll probably try to adjust my valves by myself so if I can do that I will feel better probably.

[h22sparkle]

Yeah hes right about the tranny work imma do it myself from nowon and save money.

[Fearit22]

I guess I should too. If I get lost I can always rely on my fellow cb7tuner.com members to help me out

[cp[mike]]

i had never worked on a car before, and i bought my cb7 with the intent of doing all the work to it myself... so yeah, even people without experience can definately do the work themselves. nothing is specifically hard, some things are just alot of work to do.


clutch looks good theone, let us know how it runs once its in.

[punkrockimport]

i am gonna be getting a performance clutch soon, and i think im gonna change it myself. not exactly myself, as i will have knowledgeable friends around, but i wanna be able to say i did it myself.

[theone]

yeah, not only can it save money but it like boosts your pride also.

but like things i neve done before, like the clutch, i rather pay to get it done. because i have a back up car but i cant let my car be down for to long.

i kno how to do things like change a radiator and installing things like bolt ons, but there a few things i dont even try, which are....

seting cam timing.....tried once and bent 2 valves
clutch
and valve stuff, like setting them.

but ill learn, im starting Lincoln Tech in June, so i cant wait.

[mayberry]

good luck!!

[theone]

thanks man....

Now that gets me all paranoid because I was wanting to do some work like that. I wanted to try to install my cam gear myself too. I read the directions and it sounded like something I could do though.

[mayberry]

u can do anything if you follow the directions to a T.

well call me F**ked then! hahaha...i'm gonna be tapping into my valve train and possibly reseting cam timing cuz I think jacknut mechanic at Honda dealer set it wrong when doing timing belt change...first time ever they messed something up....but I haven't verfied this yet directly...indirectly I'm fairly sure...

if you're physically capable & have the right tools & can follow directions & use common sense...you're straight on anything. never force things that don't seem to be going straight, double check on iffy things, get many opinions...give yourself more than enough time, etc....
