yes it does!.like all parts of a car, it depends on your driving style as well as manufacturer recomendation...for example if you tend to dump your clutch often then you clutch will need to be replaced frequently...you can tell when to replace your clutch by the feel of it when driving, if it tends to slip often or it is hard to engage a gear without depressing your clutch pedal several times, its high time to replace your clutch...when driving dont make it a habit to 'ride the clutch' ie:using your clutch when going down hill to disengage your gear without leaving the gear in neutral..
You needa specialtool to remove it and install it. You will need to measure the air gap between the clutch plate and pulley as you install it, .010" to .015" will usually do it.
yes,open bleeder valve on cluch slave cylinder and clutch damper to release air.
when the clutch releases at the very top, that usually indicates that the clutch needs replacing. the clutch may just need adjustment. one more thing, the clutch on Chevy s-10's usually release high anyway.
Are you replacing a whole clutch or just the clutch plates?
It is no different than any other clutch, you didnt mention if its 4x4, then you will need two floorjacks. If you have changed a clutch before, this will be the same, and i recommend replacing the one piece rear main seal.
Depends on what exactly is wrong with it :) Unless it is about simply replacing or adjusting the clutch cable, replacing the clutch involves removing transmission out, which means taking the axles out etc.
No, there is no need to replace the flywheel but it is a good idea to have the flywheel surface machined.
At least the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder can be replaced at any time.
My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!
If your replacing the clutch you shouldn't need to bleed anything. But you probly should adjust it, I'm prety sure the 86 has a cable clutch, which is easy to adjust. if you happen to have a hydrolic clutch you should bleed it just to make sure.
It is entirely possible that your clutch needs replacing. In a vehicle that age, your clutch is probably very worn out.
go to your transmission and look at your slave cylinder,its coming thru the rubber cover,see if itsleakingif every thing checks out,then u might need a new clutch. ,if it is ,then it needs to be replaced, about 20.00 bucks,also check your clutch master cylinder for leaks and see if its empty.if nothing is leaking ,then your clutch might need replacing.
