dont know if you have a garage or any tools to work with but i had previously never installed a clutch before and embarked on the task. it took about 6 hours with me and a friend and it was easy. since then ive done two more and it only takes about 1 and half to take off the tranny and another hour and a half to put it back on. the actuall intalling of the clutch is easy. just a matter of unbolting one and putting the other on.

like i said i had never done it before and it wasnt hard at all. if you have any mech skills you should be able to pull it off. just my two cents

(of course it always helps to have someone who knows what they are doing just in case)

yeah, i'm sure i could do it, i just need to see it done 1 time and i'm good after that. would rather have someone do it whose done a couple before. a friend and I did my 04 srt-4 s3 clutchmaster clutch install but that was rather easy and i dont think the evo would be as easy.

We have done about 8 Evo clutch installs now. The twin disc cluthces are usually a little harder. There usually is no alignment tool. You have to center the clutch disc in the pressure plate by eye. Our shop is in Hickory which is about 2 1/2 hours from Fayetteville I believe. Even though we have done 8 clutch installs it still takes 2 off us on a lift about 5 to 6 hours to do the job. The 05 is the hardest one to do, because of the ACD hydraulic connection. If you are interested in getting it done, shoot me a PM and we can schedule a Saturday to have it done.

Your welcome. Cant wait to see your new track times with that clutch after your new tune. Take is easy launching with that clutch, it will grip hard with that HD pressure plate. It can make things hard on the transfer case will that much bite.
