Huntsville, AL - need a place to replace clutch....
 

Well My FD is in major need of a clutch... I live in an apt and did the clutch in my S-10 in the tiny apt garage and swore i would never do it again. Well now the seven needs it BADLY. Does anyone know a shop here in town they would let/trust to put a clutch in their car? I don't know if anyone has access to redstone arsenal (i do), but I hear there is a decent shop there where you can work on vehicles basically renting floor space? Anyone know if that's true, and if so how to contact them? Id rather do it myself.

Thanks,
Evan

Oh yea first post, guess i should go introduce myself.

I don't know Redstone very well, but most army posts do have what you're talking about. We even had one in Germany. So I would expect you're on the right track. Normally I could be more help. I know a couple of guys that work on Redstone. But I'm deployed and don't have their phone numbers with me. You said you had access, I would just ask the gate guards. Those guys usually know the base pretty well.

Cool thanks for the input. I will have to call around and find out.

I you decide to pay to have it done I am sure Dustin (Midnight Auto) will do it. He has plenty experience working on them. You may also contact Don, HDP7 on here as he has a lift in his garage and knows FD's well. I do mine in my garage on the floor, in fact its sitting on stands right now waiting on parts to put the tranny, clutch kit back in. If you ever want to meet up with other rotary guys let me know.

the arsenal does have something like you mentioned before, ive not seen it. but a couple of my friends have used it before. i think its like 40 a day.

but i got some friends who mainly do mechanic work for friends for pretty cheap. they are not grease monkeys, but are true car guys. they all have nice cars ( s2k, s2k, ctr,supra) they are trust worthly and not flakey people... plus if your gonna get your flywheel resurfaced i can lend them the socket and massive breaker bar for it lol.

Thanks, Mike.

I'd love to meet up sometime. I just bought a PFC and may need some help with that eventually, if any of you are familiar with it.

I know a thing or 2 on the pfc... I dont have much free time this type of year due to work and kids sports but if I can help I will. Whats the break down on your car? If mostly stock with bolt ons I would just run t1he base map as its fine for that at 13-14psi. If used, reflash it to make sure the stock map is back up. Never know what someone else loaded on it.

Yea i have read about how to reset it to base map, and i think that is what i will do to start. All i have is downpipe and cat back, stock cat still in, a K&N filter for whats thats worth..., and a Y-pipe.

So Dustin at midnight auto has FD experience, hmm i may need to give them a call and see what pricing would be. I just hate the thought of someone else working on my car. Does anyone else feel like that?

Always best to do your own wor= saves money and you know its done right the first time. But if you do not have the tools nor place to do the job then you dont have too many options.


Dustin will handle it fine. He has worked on many FD's over the years. Probably has one at the shop now. He's got a tranny sitting in the shop waiting for me now.
