[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 14736463, member: 112023"] Transmission rebuild is almost complete and I've learned a lot about the 6R80 auto in this car. There are two tools you NEED to finish this job that you may not have at home. 1. Dial Indicator with magnetic base stand to measure clutch pack clearances 2. Digital Caliper to measure clutch steel thickness In the Exedy stage two kit, there are different thickness steels for different clutch packs. Two of them are very close in size so you need the Digital Caliper to make sure your eyes are not playing tricks on you. "C" clutch has an optional "thicker" steel you can use to tighten up clearances. I didn't use it, as it made the clutch pack too tight. You need the Dial indicator and base to verify that. Wish I would have taken pictures, however I will borrow these as examples. Dial indicator used to verify proper clutch pack clearances [IMG]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dBRBNUF7Rvs/maxresdefault.jpg[/IMG] Digital Caliper [IMG]http://www.wpiinc.com/clientuploads/directory/products/Digital_Caliper_4f1586e3aaceb.jpg[/IMG] Other tips I can give to those who are interested in performing this upgrade yourself. [LIST] [*]Take pictures, you never know when you will forget how something was installed. [*]Do not remove old clutch packs until you are ready to install the new pack. You don't want to get them mixed up, causing confusion later. [*]Removing the "C" clutch retainer clamp from the case is a bitch, be patient and don't break it. It goes in easier than it comes out. [*]Go slow, take your time, absorb what you are doing into memory. If you rush it, you may find yourself doubting what you just did, removing the part(s), and starting over again. [*]Do not attempt this job without a working Dial Indicator and Digital Caliper. You will never know if clearances are within range without them. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
