Pressure Plate Bolt Trouble

[DJschick88]

I brought my 525 trans to a transmission shop to be installed and they are telling me my original pressure plate bolts are not working the T2/T3 clutch package from FWDPerformance was wondering if this is a problem with anyone else?

Thanks

Did you ask them why?

[DJschick88]

they said it wasnt getting it tight enough and it was loose...

[detobias]

I would ask FWD.

Have them measure the thread holes' depth on the flywheel and then measure the bolts. Re-tap the holes and clean them before install.

It's 6 bolts, for crying out loud. Do you have to hold their hands doing this clutch installation?

[DJschick88]

i have definitely held there hands through the process. They said no one makes a clutch for the car anymore and it is impossible to find so i said if i find one will you install it and he said ya and this is what im getting now so i wasnt suprised. Had i known it would be this hard i would have done it myself. But i dont feel like loading it up and bringing it back home just to have to do it myself so ill give them another week.

Just need to know what the hell might be going on.

thanks

are you resusing the old pressure plate bolts or new ones? if new, ARP or Mopar or what?

[DJschick88]

i think they were trying the old ones first. but the new ones they bought are ARP
