1G Clutch installation tips

[16g Spoolin TSi]

Hey everyone just spent 4 hours Saturday night pulling apart the trans to replace my clutch in my 1g... what a bi*** to drop it... the downside is i have to work mon- fri so its going to sit in my garage on jackstands until next saturday... anywho looking at the pain it was to drop it i.e. the lower control arm and fender wall in the way... does anyone have any tips on how to get this pig back into the engine bay
Thank you everyone for the help that was given in my previous threads this was my first clutch swap and its safe to say with-out DSMtuners i would have been LOOOOST

Wiggling is the key. Its a pain but it will get in there

have some one wiggle it for you. Get it close. To actually get it to go in you have to let the back sag and little then wiggle it up and down while putting some force foward and it will slide right in.

here's a trick for the clutch alignment if u dont have an alignment tool. I bought one and it was too big and complicated. Use a quarter inch drive 10mm deep socket. Its a perfect fit in the flywheel and only about a mm of difference between the clutch disc size.
