Is there any special tool or key required for a clutch install on a 96 2.8?

 

I am not all that familiar with the 2.8, but for the 1.8T there's a list at this link
good luck!

 

I'm pretty sure the procedure is the same via the 1.8 and 2.8 - as you can swap a 2.8 trans to a 1.8 and vice versa.

 

You need the clutch alignment tool which is pretty cheap from what i remember, although you can eye ball it but that can make it a bitch to get the tranny back in, other than that the basic tools are are you really need.

 

Thanks everyone for the info! I got an alignment tool in the kit, my brother is putting it on at his shop on wensday so we will see how it goes.
thanks again
