R/T 4wd - Clutch Replacement

Norcal510

Hello All,

Im fairly new to the forum. Im thinking about buying a 89 R/T model. that needs a clutch ... I wanted to know how hard would it be to change the clutch? Any other stuff I have to change while im changing the clutch?

Any suggestions on a good inexpensive clutch? Also anyone know where I can get a diagram of a "how to" replace the clutch?

Thanks everyone!

Not that hard depending on your experience .One man job though a lot easier with a buddy.I even did it w/o the clutch alignment tool.Borrow a balljoint separater (don't use a fork(can damage the ball joint boot)). Takes more time 'cuz you need to disconnect the int.shaft & center shaft too.

NO,but recommended items would be pilot & TO brg,turning the flywhl ,see if frt.drive shaft boots are not ripped ,lube the ball joint(see link below) & changing the tranny oil .
