ATTN!!!! 5 SPEED SWAP W/TOD DONE!

[eternal21]

I had my old tranny rebuild twice, and then swapped in another auto tranny to have the torque converter burn up in under a year, so I too am done with the auto tranny and have already bought a '99 Manual Trooper and it is sitting in my driveway. Couple of questions:

Why the new flywheel bolts? The old ones look brand new still.
Why the new clutch pressure plate bolts?
I am assuming I can still order the new clutch set/shaft pilot bearing/rear main seal from IsuzuParts.com, correct? Thanks in advance, can't wait to have this done.

Sometimes the bolts may stretch, but I've never seen it happen, personally. I reused them, and have since put over 12k on the setup.

Isuzu flywheel bolts are torque to yield and therefore should only be used once. Will they fail if you use them twice? Probably not but they made them TTY for a reason.

Should I go ahead and get:

Ring gear or Release fork?

My Release Fork is kinda rusty, but not sure about the ring gear.

So I ordered through IsuzuParts.com and these items are on backorder:

-Clutch Disc
-Pressure Plate

They are asking me what I want to do. They said that backordering the parts could take up to 3 months!?!?

I would say that estimate is about right. The parts will need to come from Japan. I ordered 2 washer fluid pumps from Jerry and they took about 3 months or so for him to get them from Japan. It just is what it is. Or, buy something aftermarket. Just get a good Exedy clutch for the right application. Most of the time, the Isuzu clutches are Exedy anyhow.

Yeah you are probably right. I just ordered the Exedy Clutch Kit # KIS06

Thanks :-)
