Your fun and sporty little Geo is starting to make annoying noises when you shift gears with your Geo clutch. Or, the clutch pedal resists your touch, or you feel a 'slipping' when you try to engage your clutch. All these are signs that it might be time to replace your Geo clutch. But when you do, use some best practices in mechanics. Inventory your tools to see if you have the right sockets (10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm), torque wrench, socket wrench, 3/8" universal joint, extensions (you will need a total of at least 20" long combined). You'll need wrenches as well: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm. In order to lift the car up safely and support it, you'll need the following lift tools: four large jack stands, ramp stands and a suitable transmission jack. The latter piece of equipment will make your job a lot easier, and cut down on the risk that your transmission will hang in the club plate hub, which will mean a bent disk. Do not use an impact gun to tighten cover bolts; instead use a quality torque wrench that will tighten bolts to the manufacturers' specifications. Before you start installing your Geo clutch, clean the clutch mating surfaces of the pressure plate and the flywheel because they are covered with an anti-rust fluid that should be removed. Use a non-oil based solvent and wipe the parts dry. Using these safety measures will make installation of your Geo clutch easier, and extend its lifespan.
