Change the cluch this weekend.
I encoutered couple of problems. First I stripped both transmission plugs so I was not able to drain it so I went ahead and did it anyway. Suprisingly the flywheel was in good shape. The friction disc was pretty worn and the pressure plates fingers had a very bad groove from the release bearing witch was moving pretty hard on the shaft.
It leaked oil of course from the output maybe half a quart. So I need to figure how the get the plugs out.
Also the breather hose , I couldn't see where it connects to the engine. I found a plastic top on the floor after pulled the trany out that fitted perfectly on the hose end so I just left it like that. Was guessing here.
Took if for a spin and What a difference. Everything is so much smoother. The third still grinds when down shifting. But I am also low on oil 25% if not more. so till I figure the plugs there is still hope.
Thanks
