BBK 3517 Installation Instructions

Follow these instructions carefully to ensure correct fitment and operation.
STEP 1
•
Raise the front of the vehicle and place on jack
stands. Remove the clutch cable inspection
cover on the side of the bell housing.
STEP 2
•
Using a large screwdriver or pry bar, pry the
clutch fork forward and slip the cable end
through the large hole in the fork. This
disengages the cable from the clutch.
STEP 3
•
Remove c-clip from the collar of the cable
(located where the cable slips through the bell
housing).
STEP 4
•
Working from the engine compartment, remove
the bolt holding the cable bracket to the frame
rail (next to the power steering pump) and also
remove the bolt which holds the cable head to
the firewall. Next, remove the cable from the car
and discard (You may have to unhook the cable
from the quadrant assembly under the
dashboard).

STEP 5
•
Working from under the dash board on the
driver's side, remove the cotter clips from both
shafts. Using a screw driver, pry the large
quadrant piece off of the shaft and discard along
with the spring attached to it.
STEP 6
•
Remove the spring from the pawl gear, then
push the clutch pedal to the floor and slide the
pawl gear off the shaft. Many '87 and later cars
will run into a support bracket before it slips
completely off the shaft. If the pawl gear slides
off completely, discard it and go to step 8.
STEP 7
•
To remove the pawl gear, first pull the carpet
back until you can put the clutch pedal all the
way to the floor. Position pawl gear on its shaft
by rotating it, slip a large screwdriver or pry bar
under the pawl gear and across the quadrant
shaft and push downward (toward the floor of
the vehicle). A large amount of pressure may be
needed to pry the gear and sometimes actually
breaking it, which is okay because whatever is
left of the gear will easily slide off the shaft.
