Picture Blog: Dirty faces, Sparkling clutch

A few weeks ago we had a minor setback. The speedy delivery mobile (RX7) couldn't deliver any more cases without a new clutch. Being a startup, we like to save money were we can, so Scott and I gathered some tools and about 30hours of time and got to work...

This note is mainly pictures. Long story short, we had to put the car up on blocks and remove the transmission and drive shaft just to get to the clutch! Those chimney cleaner good looking guys are me and Scottie.

The job was not easy, luckily the car ran great after we finished!

PS. The circular thing with gear teeth around it is called the flywheel. The engine is connected to the flywheel, the flywheel is connected to the clutch, and the clutch is connected to the transmission, which drives the wheels! (in case you're interested :) ). If you look hard on the second to last picture you can see the turbo to the top right of the flywheel.
