Need some help with my 82'
I just bought a 1982 s130 about two weeks ago. I've replaced the exhaust (Didn't have it in the first place), blocked off the Cold Start Valve because it kept flooding my engine, replaced the air filter, etc. I ordered a new clutch about two days ago and honestly have no idea how to replace it. Anyone have a step-by-step? It'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to ZDriver!
You should fix the problem, not bandaid it. The CSV is activated by the thermotime switch. Check / replace the switch. Otherwise you will have a hard-start problem when it gets cold outside (unless you live in a climate that never dips below 60*F).
-Drain transmission fluid (or see below)
-Drop exhaust
-Disconnect transmission wiring & speedo cable
-Remove transmission bell housing bolts
-Remove drive shaft to differential coupler bolts
-Pull out driveshaft from transmission (if you want to leave trans fluid in, cover transmission driveshaft output tail with a bag and use rubber bands to keep it tight.
-Remove transmission mounting brace.
-Pull transmission down and out (an extra helper really comes in handy unless you bench press every day).
-Remove all 12mm clutch bolts & clutch will pull free.
-Resurface flywheel with surfacing pad & die grinder body.
-Clean flywheel with brake cleaner. Blow dry w/ compressed air.
-Install new clutch disc and pressure plate using alignment tool.
-Make sure alignment tool is fully seated and centered.
-Tighten 12mm pressure plate bolts
-Install transmission (again, a helper makes it easier). You will have to wiggle transmission back on to get the shaft splines to seat down in the new clutch plate.
-Re-install everything else.
You can also follow the instructions in the FSM: www.xenons130.com/reference
