New to the forum, but so far have had many of my questions answered by searching through all the posts. Thanks
I have found posts that touched on this subject, but I need a little more information. I am about to drop my manual tranny in my 95 legacy to repair what I suspect to be a bad input shaft bearing. I get a pretty intense rumble with the clutch out, even in neutral accompanied by a nice (temporary) rpm drop. In addition, I am planning to change the clutch and turn the flywheel as preventative maintenance and of course change the fluids. What I don't know is this: Is this bearing replacement job in need of a press, or is it easier to crack the case on the tranny and get to it that way? What I read form another post said that the bearing was sandwiched between the two halves of the case so I don't know if this is the way to go. I also do not know how accessible this bearing is, or if there is another bearing that might be causing the same sound.
Thanks for any input.
