Default Just Got My Clutch Today

My GripForce stage 2 clutch just came in today for my w58, and I have already found that the torque specs are 36 ft/lbs flywheel and 14 ft/lbs pressure plate, and I also know to turn another 90 degrees for the flywheel and to go a little higher for the pressure plate. What I can't seem to find is the torquing order for the bolts. I know that in general, you start from the middle and work your way out in a criss cross fashion, but if any one has an actual torquing order that they found, I would love to see it. Trying to get the car ready for drifting this year.

Congrats on the new purchase. Ive never heard of a Grip Force clutch before. I'll have to look them up. As far as torquing order just go in a star pattern like you were to torque a set of lug nuts on your wheels. Once you're done with that you do a quick circle check and then continue with the 90 degrees.

Use thread sealant and loctite on the flywheel bolts.

You'll have to hold the crank while torquing the flywheel to get the correct torque specs.
