BRZ Clutch Job Torque Specs

[staybrzy]

Made a small list of torque specs and grease points for my clutch install. Includes some tips too.

I couldn't find anything online that listed every torque spec in the whole process. Hope this helps!

Torque Specs:

-Clutch release cylinder - 2 bolts (27 ft/lbs)

-Ground for this ^ - 1 bolt (10ft/lbs)

-Wire harness clamp bracket - 1 bolt (7 ft/lbs)

-Tranny mount - 4 outside bolts (48 ft/lbs)

-Tranny mount - 2 inside bolts w/washers (30 ft/lbs)

-FP mount - 2 bolts (17 ft/lbs)

-Driveshaft to diff - (57 ft/lbs) (use blue loctite)

-Driveshaft centre support - (35 ft/lbs) (use blue loctite)

-Tranny fill and drain plugs - 2 plugs - 27 ft/lb

-FP to OP - 2 nuts (32 ft/lb)

-FP to centre pipe - (13 ft/lbs)

-Bellhousing to motor, and starter to motor - 6 bolts (37 ft/lbs) (use blue loctite)

-Bellhousing nuts on 2 studs (37 ft/lbs) (use blue loctite)

-Flywheel bolts (tighten in star pattern to 35ft/lb then tighten in star pattern to 63 ft/lb) (use blue loctite)

-Pressure plate (14 ft/lbs in star pattern)

Grease:

-sparingly under flywheel bolt heads

-pivot point in clutch fork and the pivot point itself

-2 spots on clutch fork where the TOB touches and a tiny bit on the TOB as well (same two spots where the clips sit)

-sparingly on the splines and retainer shaft/cover. Not too much, so it doesn't sling onto your clutch disk and ruin it.

-sparingly inside flywheel bearing

-sparingly in the TOB

Tips:

-Use 2 pry bars get the tranny cracked open. You might need to go at it from up top. This may take a while, so be patient with it

-Tilt the motor up a bit from the front (oil pan with a piece of wood is fine). This will help line up the studs with the bellhousing so the tranny doesn't get stuck on the studs

-Completely remove the tranny mount so you can wiggle the tranny up and down more to loosen it from the motor

-A tranny jack will be your best friend. If you don't have one, a second, large jack and wood will work but its sketchy

-Buy beer and have a friend help you out when pulling the tranny and reinstalling

-Clean flywheel with brake cleaner. New or machined.

-After you grease the splines, you can take your clutch disk and run it through the splines to lubricate it. Then wipe off the excess grease from the outsides of the clutch centre
