Roobaflu Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Just use a hammer and beat the pilot bearing off, it's junk anyway. Get a new one along with clutch and throwout bearing. And by the way change the rear engine seal while you got it apart. When you get the new pilot bearing make sure it slides on the imput shaft.Craven thats what I want to do, but I have NO money for parts and won't be having any money for parts :[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justyn Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Ok, new problem... was ready for the trial run, and the clutch won't disengage, its not the cable, the pedal is going to the floor, and the lever on the trans is coming back as far as it can go. What did we do wrong??? Have you figured out what the prblem is yet ? Just wondering I've got the same situation with a new clutch that I just installed looking for information.

Just wondering I've got the same situation with a new clutch that I just installed looking for information. well, the way the car ACTED was like the clutch cable was too loose... but what it turned out was we put in a flywheel with a bad pilot bearing that got stuck to the input shaft, and the clutch disc wasn't lined up right and when the engine and tranny were forced together, it got stuck too, had to be slide hammered off. Did everything seem to go together easily? did the engine and tranny go together without too much hassle? if it all went together smoothly, I would recommend checking the clutch cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arm is alll the way against the opening in the tranny when the pedal is depressed. it can't release any farther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 yo i will see if i can find a pilot bearing here at jims. i do remember pointing out the bad one on the flywheel, but we forgot all about it when it was time to put it together... so was the disc stuck to the input shaft? how is the disc? if there is anything you need i will see what i can find here, let me know by tomorrow. i can go to toms next weekend cause he was unable to make it here to jims this weekend, so if i get things wrapped up right away i will set out early. if you need to get to toms let me know i have to go there sometime to get my keys and my battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
