    Clutch question

    Alrighty guys. Since I broke part of the side motor mount off the block I've got a clutch question.

    I can get the motor mount fixed enough to make it driveable so here's what I'm wondering. Can I install the clutch in my current motor once I get it fixed, and then when I get a new motor just swap over the clutch and flywheel. Or, am I going to have to buy a whole new clutch?

    I didn't think it would be a problem since the clutch is breaking itself in to the flywheel, and I intend to swap the flywheel over as well.

    I guess I'm gonna try to change my clutch later today, and then get that mount fixed later this week.

    You can swap it over no problem. Just before you remove the clutch, make a mark with white out on the flywheel and pressure plate for extra insurance. Then when you reinstall it, line the mark back up.
