Clutch Arm Bushing Kit

This kit contains a bushing, a clutch return spring and the retaining clips to install the throw-out bearing shaft in the transmission. The engine has to be pulled out in order to put the bushing on. Start by removing the throw-out bearing. Now take the clip off the cable arm and remove the arm. Go to the backside of the bellhousing and remove the 11mm bolt that sets the bushing. Push the shaft from the inside out towards the driver's side; this will push the bushing out. Now for the fun part, grease up the shaft where the bushing rides. Install the inner clip on the shaft, then install the shaft without the bushing. Slide the new bushing from the outside over the shaft, making sure that the indent hole lines up with the hole on the backside of the transmission. Install the alignment bolt in the bushing and then replace your throw-out bearing. Now replace the clutch return spring, the bell, and the clutch cable arm. Put on the clip. Don't try to put the spring over the arm until you have this outer clip on. Take a Phillips screwdriver and wrap it around the arm; hook the spring and pry it backward. This will install the spring back on the arm without you loosing your sanity or a finger.
