clutch replacement, 2009 1.5L

[remcafee]

the clutch is fairly easy to do on our cars, the one thing to keep in mind is putting on red loctite on flywheel bolts and torquing them down the spec properly, they are 38 ft ibs, and a 90 degree turn in a star pattern, your rear subframe torque mount bolt is going to be 89 ft ibs.

I didn't mess with the flywheel bolts i just replaced the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. I didn't remove the subframe either just manhandle the tranny in there it's not that heavy.
