Installation of Flywheel
Always make sure to disconnect the negative battery prior to working on your vehicle. Removethe old flex plate from the crank. There should be 8 14mm bolts that need to be removed. Onceremoved, the flex plate bolts can be disposed of. With the flex plate removed there is a spacerthat is behind the flex plate. The spacer can be removed and disposed of as well.
At this time check to see if the rear main seal is leaking oil. If, so replace with a new rear mainseal.
The new flywheel is coated in pickling oil and can be slick, so be careful as to not drop theflywheel. Place the flywheel on the end of the crank. The flywheel is designed to be a tight fitover the crank shaft so it most likely won’t be able to be pressed on by hand. With the flywheelsitting on the end of crank install 2 3vz flywheel bolts and use them to press the flywheel ontothe crank. With the flywheel pressed all the way on the crank you can back the 2 bolts back out.
Check the 1uz starter for proper engagement on the ring gear. The starter gear should engagethe ring gear about ½ way into the ring gear.
With the flywheel now installed it’s time to install the Loctite onto the threads of the flywheelbolts.
Then torque in a star pattern to 65 foot lbs.
Installation of Clutch kitAlways disconnect negative battery cable prior to doing any major work on your vehicle. Whenremoving your old clutch, note which way the clutch disc was facing (spring pack facing engineor transmission). You will want to install the new disc with the same orientation as the old discyou removed. Before installing your new clutch clean the inner bellhousing area to make sureno debris gets onto the new clutch. Also inspect clutch bar for any damage (cracks, excessivewear etc…). Install new pilot bearing in crankshaft. Failure to replace pilot bearing can result inannoying squeal noises when cold. We supply a new pilot bearing in all of our clutch kits. Placeclutch disc on flywheel, using the supplied alignment tool to make installation of the transmission easier. For V6 clutches, the spring side faces the flywheel. If there is any confusionrefer back to which way the stock disc was facing. Install pressure plate onto flywheel, makingsure to align the dowel pins in the flywheel with the corresponding holes in the pressure plate.Verify that the alignment tool keeps the clutch disk centered in the assembly (do not let thetool just hang on its own, you need to keep it centered as you install the pressure plate. Torquebolts evenly a little at a time in a star pattern. If the pressure plate is not torqued evenly insteps it can cause the plate to warp, this will not be covered under warranty. North West Toy’sllc recommends tightening the pressure plate with hand tools only. Refer to chart below fortorque specs. Remove alignment tool. Replace throw-out bearing. The throw-out bearing isheld in with two retaining clips that hold it to the clutch fork. Lubricate all moving parts; inputshaft, pressure plate “finger” tips, throw out bearing contact surfaces etc… with white lithiumgrease or Anti-sieze. This will ensure smooth performance and engagement of the clutch. 11.With the new throw out bearing in place, slide the transmission onto the engine, beingextremely careful not to let the weight of the transmission hang on the clutch disk. This cancause serious damage to the disk. With the clutch disk properly aligned during installation, theinput shaft should not require any force to install. Rocking the transmission or turning theoutput shaft as you install the tranny may help if it doesn’t go in all the way. DO NOT USE THEBELLHOUSING BOLTS TO DRAW THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE TOGETHER! This can result inserious damage, especially to the new clutch or the thrust bearings inside the engine, andshould not be necessary if everything is installed and aligned properly. Re-install slave cylinderand other components you may have removed to gain access to the clutch. If needed, bleedclutch hydraulic system according to repair manual. Road test the vehicle, and avoidingaggressive driving for the first 500-750 miles. Proper break-in procedure is crucial to longservice life out of your new clutch.

Installation of Bell housingOur bell housings are designed to connect a 1uz block bolt pattern to the R150F manual 5speed transmission found behind the Toyota 3.0 and 3.4 V6 trucks and 4runners. The bellhousing is manufactured with 2 predrilled and tapped holes for a slave cylinder. We have foundthat not all slave cylinders are aligned in the same way to this area so this is now oversized soyou as the builder can custom cut, drill, and tap the holes you may need for proper slavecylinder alignment. Having to cut and re-drill these 2 holes is considered normal and not causefor alarm.
With the transmission sitting on the transmission jack remove the throw out bearing and fork.Next remove the 9 bolts that hold the bell housing onto the transmission. There are 2 dowelpins that locate the bell to the tranny so a small amount of pressure can sometimes be requiredto separate the bell from the case.
Now that the tranny is bell free it’s time to place the 1uz bell on the tranny. Make sure to linethe dowel pins into the new bell and install bolts to secure the bell to the transmission. Installthe new pivot ball or reuse your old pivot ball, install thick washer underneath the pivot ball.Install the clutch fork and throw out bearing. Install the tranny on to the motor. This will placethe clutch fork in its resting position and under riding tension from the clutch pack. Place theslave cylinder up at its mounting location and push the slave rod into the slave as far aspossible. This is the riding position of the slave. Mark inside the mounting holes with a sharpie.Remove the transmission from the rig.
Remove the fork and throw out bearing from tranny. Now using a drill and 3/16” drill bit, drillout the holes that you marked with the sharpie for the slave mounting location. Now use acutoff grinder to remove the necessary material to put the slave mount in the correct locationto work with your clutch fork. Once the necessary material has been removed install the forkand throw out bearing back on the transmission. Using your tap re-tap the new holes you have.
Now it’s time to place the tranny back up against the motor and tighten all bolts to hold thetranny to the engine. Once the transmission has been installed you can secure the slavecylinder back in its location. The drive train is now installed.
