Hey, I finally got my LuK flywheel and I'm looking to have it and the clutch replaced at a local shop. I can't tell if the motor mounts need to be replaced to not. But I figure its a good time to replace things while it's all apart and I'd like to have the parts available to avoid extra downtime. Any suggestions on what else I should replace while the motor is out? 07 with 80k miles

 

The engine mounts on the 6 speed are stronger and thus break much less often then on the autos. I ran my stock mounts with the super charger for 30k with no issues and your type-s mounts may be stronger then the base 6 Speeds. Unless you see damage to them they are likely fine.

 

I would assume that the pilot bearing and clutch release bearing are also in the change, but I'd examine/check clutch hydraulics, mounts, CV boots, clutch fork, spring, ball, seals, etc., but certainly wouldn't throw new parts in that didn't appear in need of replacement.

 

Did you get the LUK clutch kit too?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yes, I got the LuK clutch and believe it comes with the pilot and release bearing.

 

Replacing the clutch at only 80K? Someone needs to learn how to shift....

 

Thank you very little

 

It's true, the clutch should last a lot longer than 80k.

 

First of all I'm the 2nd owner and only put 10k miles on it. Secondly the friction is fine, it's the self adjusting feature that gets screwed up mostly on high RPM shifts resulting in a moving engegment point/stiff pedal to the point where I wasn't able to get it out of gear once using the clutch

 

replacing stuff that doesnt need replacing sounds expensive.

once you're in there, inspect your car.
if anything is broken, obviously replace/fix it.
