Luk Rep-Set. they cost $160 from a local shop for the '90 GP 3.1/5-speed application. get the flywheel resurfaced too, that will probably only cost another $15. proabably a good time to replace the rear main seal if it's leaking...

i got the clutch. does anyone know what the torque specs are for the flywheel and pressure plate and should i use any loctite on them

Flywheel To Crankshaft Bolt

52 ft.lb

 

Clutch Cover To Flywheel

21 ft.lb

 

I guess it couldn't hurt to use loctite, but it's not required.

 

These specs are for a 1991 model year 3.1 W body.

i use red loc-tite on the flywheel-to-crank bolts as well as the pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts. make sure you tighten the bolts evenly in a criss-cross pattern; you don't want to warp anything.

thanks i will use loctite just to be safe the car is a 89 and has hard shifting problems so i hope this helps

btw, my Haynes manual lists the same torque specs and those are the torque specs i have always used. fwiw i've never had a bolt come loose. the hard shifting might be due to air in the hydraulic system (clutch master/slave clyinders). good luck!

Check the fluid in your trans, sometimes if it gets really low you could have some hard shifting issues there as well.
