The other day my clutch started to feel all sorts of mushy and hard to push in.

Then yesterday I was about a mile from my house on the way to work and I push the clutch in and it just doesnt spring back up. I pull over, check my cable, everything looks fine, just no springage in my tranny lever.

It gets towed back to my house for free later that night and I yank the cable. I check the lever on the tranny and theres no springage. Its loose as a goose. My guess is the spring on the throwout bearing is shot.

So i wake up today at 830 am, astonishing I know, and its freaking snowing outside. In NEW JERSEY IN APRIL... Go back to bed, wake up at 1130, Mom says: "oh its nice out"....NOT...Blizzard-time.

I start the process to pull my tranny, leaving the motor in the car at 130pm. After a major pain in my ***, I get the tranny out at 3pm. Ill update with some pics I think later on. As far as getting that sucker back in, I don't feel like doing it.

 

Dont mean to hijack the thread guy but yeap same chet here I just finished my swap and i was going to put it in gear, "crink" thats the noise the spring made. I was like damn spring gave out on me since i replaced the clutch disc, bearing and pressure plate. oh and im in the Chi where weather is unpredictable, 1 min nice and brizzy the other a hella snow storm....lol

So now i have to go back to the drawing board and start removieng all the stuff again. yes PITA. But you judt got to love it.....GL on your end

 

thanks you too. I got the tranny pulled, changed the spring/bearing and got it back in by 630pm. Now my tranny feels great again and since I put some new synchromesh oil in it shifts awesome.

 

sounds good man. I need to pull the trany out of a junkyard car soon prolly, hopefully that means I can do it to in 3 or less hours.

 

Whats great about a junkyard is you don't have to give a **** about anything else in the car. Just yank that **** outta there

 

that's what I was thinking.

oh this is in my way, now where is my BIG F***IN HAMMER.
