Clutch job with Banks turbo

[dave186]

Hey guys, I just put on a Banks turbo on my 93 and it looks to me like I will have to remove the up pipe to slide the trans back when i go to change the clutch. I figured someone on here has done this already. I should have changed the clutch first as the new one has been sitting on the floor in the shop for a couple months now. I just couldnt wait to put the turbo on though.

Thanks!
Dave

I have an ATS turbo, but I had to pull the up pipe and downpipe to get my tranny out. If your 2wheel drive, you can just slide the tranny back far enough and do the clutch like that. But if your truck is like mine, and its 4 wheel drive, then you wont be able to slide the tranny back far enough to really be able to do anything. I guess you could, but the way I pulled it I couldnt .

yes, its a 4wd with a zf5. I read your thread about pulling your trans with no jack, i cant even imagine.

I didn't have to pull anything turbo related for my clutch job. I've got a Banks with a T-19. You can sort of see the plumping is intact in the photo below.

Kinda looks like you have a psd starter on there... Is that so and how is it working...

hmm, I know when i put the kit on there is a little ear that sticks down on the up pipe and it kinda clips onto the top of the bellhousing.

Also, I have a nippondenso PSD style starter just like that and its much better than the mitsu unit it replaced.

Sorry Gary, I have no idea if it is or not. But, I do know it works very well.
