Clutch Release Shaft
#2
(11-02-2019, 04:42 AM)sina27 Wrote: Hello,

I have a 1996 geo tracker 2WD 5speed. I plan on replacing the clutch, which is something I've never done before.

Sometimes when I press the clutch in and out, I hear a weird "friction" sound - I found out that the sound is coming from improper contact from the clutch release shaft
and the bell housing. The clutch release shaft (part 5) has a seal (part 7), which likes to slide out, causing the shaft to grind against the metal housing. I think over time
the shaft got warped, and its possible that the housing itself is compromised. 
I also noticed, that the "alignment" mark on the shaft, is not vertical where it should be. Whoever replaced the clutch last on my car made an artificial marking, which isn't there anymore, so I can't put the clutch release lever on accurately bu aligning the two marks together. 

I would like to replace the clutch release shaft, the seals, spring, clutch release forks, and other affiliated components while I'm replacing the clutch

Since I've never replaced a clutch before, I'm wondering if it would be easy to replaced the clutch release shaft during the process. For the clutch job, I was planning  on following the guide on FixKick's site (using the jackstand method). Using this method, would I be able to just remove the bell housing from the transmission to replace the shaft and affiliated components?
When replacing the shaft, how do I align the index mark in relation to the bell housing? I couldnt find any online sources explaining the process,. 

Does anyone know the best place to purchase a new clutch release shaft? And what about a bell housing (if I need to replace it)

Here is the photo I was referencing for the parts (Mine is a 96, so its a tad bit different, I think a 95 is shown)

hello and welcome
first off you photo is 1995 not 96, and the 96 has no part #9 seal,   the top of bell and top of trans flange, have serial stamps telling year of parts.

but of course the #1 failure is the cable,  and even cracked pedal, parts.
There are 2 bushings #7 there, in the bell,  only those go bad, mostly. 
these parts are all unique to suzuki (except the cable/actual  clutch)  the only parts are for bell are from
susuki, wreckers or ebay.
what matters inspections, (after  new cable fails.)
that  seal,  not sure how makes this now.  (suzuki may have it) part #9
here are the partsl

suzuki has some .
as seen here. I see the goofy suzuki parts stores took away the drawing now, for parts,  all you get now is a name and partnumber,  making parts buys very very hard.
a backwards evolution there, sad to see. that.

worse yet they mix 1.8L with 1.6L parts,  that will never work.
no full listings of parts, and with some shown as ,discontinued, now it just  does not list parts. for that.  Suzuki is a real mess. (always has been but now 10x worse)

let me assume these parts are 1996 , seems not but here it the correct drawing now missing at SUZUKI.


1996 is here,  all the p/n are here , none missing, no J18 engine parts, just yours, just G16 engine and bell. etc.
