ok so i got my cousins car, clutch bad im swapping it and i know nothing bout this car.. but i have it all but out and i have the K frame loose .. and still need like 1 inch more play to get tranny out... has anyone done a clutch and been in this boat? its a 2004 mazda 6, does the whole K frame need to come down ?or just unbolt it the whole way and let it dangle on the struts? pics lator i have to go to class now...

 

The front frame has to be completely removed.

 

****, was starting to think so.. thank you

 

No prob. had to do it when we replaced my clutch.

 

do you know the torque specs for the flywheel and flexplate?

 

wow man, pretty ballsy takin' apart a car that you have no idea about.....either ballsy or dumb...time will tell! good luck!

 

why would you say that its just a car it can be fixed... its been done

 

Flywheel
Runout - 0.1mm (0.004") Max
108-115 N-m (79.7-84.8 ft-lbs)
hand tighten, then gradually tighten in x-cross pattern - make sure to use loctite if re-using old bolts

Clutch Cover/pressure plate
Diaphragm spring fingers should have no more than 0.6mm (0.024") wear
Pressure Plate max clearance: 0.5mm (0.020")
Torque: 18.6-25.5 N-m (14-19 ft-lbs)

Hope that helps.
