AMS PUSH style clutch install (pics)
I installed our new push style clutch kit on a customers car today and decided to take some pictures of the install.
This is what you get from AMS when you purchase a full push style kit.
We also sell an upgrade kit for those who already have Exedy dual and triple plate pull style clutches.
If you are upgrading your clutch, you need to remove the clutch cover, fulcrum ring and first plate on your old kit (pictured here)
Those three pieces will be replaced by a new one piece plate / fulcrum ring and a new push style cover (pictured here)
After removing your transmission, clutch line, slave cylinder and clutch assembly, the fist step is to add a second separator plate to the back of your motor. This gives added clearance needed for the new assembly. (not pictured)
Disassemble the clutch assembly by removing the 6 allen bolts from the cover. Remove the plates and disks as an assembly and keep them oriented. Using Loctite, bolt the flywheel to your crankshaft. Torque specs can be found in the instructions provided by Exedy.
Install the plates and disks as an assembly using the provided clutch alignment tool. When installed correctly, all of the blue painted line on the Exedy clutch assembly will line up.
Install the clutch cover using loctite on the 6 allen bolts. Exedy calls for 23 lbs as the torque spec for these bolts. In this picture you can also see the second spacer between the motor and flywheel.
You are now ready to convert the transmission from pull style to push style. Remove all of the factory TOB assembly including the fork, rod, and sleeve the TOB rides on. Also remove the top rubber vent tube to make room for the new clutch lines.
Before
After
Assemble the fittings and lines on the new TOB as shown here. Tighten fittings securely.
Clean the area where the stock TOB sleeve was removed and then using loctite on all bolts, install the new TOB adapter and TOB to the transmission with the lines pointed up and routed out the hole you removed the vent tube from.
After installing the transmission, route the clutch line (longer line) to the clutch master and attach with factory banjo bolt and new supplied crush washers. Bleed the clutch and then route the bleed line to any convenient spot. I chose to use a wire clamp to attach it to the water neck.
Button up the rest of the car and you are now ready to break the clutch in.
The feel of the clutch pedal is amazing. Its heavier than stock but lighter than any aftermarket performance pull style clutch. Because its direct acting, it has a very precise feel to it. The feel of the clutch engagement will depend on the clutch you chose.
Enjoy.

I must say I pulled the car that Ivan installed this on out of the shop today and it is one of the best feeling clutches ive felt. It gives the multi plate clutch a lighter feel and is overall smoother.
