HI! I was hoping someone could either give me links to, or post pictures of a clutch assembly and housing for my car.

 

I have a 91 5spd Legacy 2wd that may have the clutch spring cable retainer clip inside the clutch.

 

The boot is ripped open just enought that the clip may have slipped into it. I can't find it on the ground around the car, but I'm assuming that I would have heard it getting crushed as I put my car in gear after realizing it was gone???

 

Is this opening at the top of the clutch lever an intentional direct access to the clutch plates?

 

If it did fall inside, is it easily retrieveable, or would it be destroyed already?

If it fell inside, it would probably be on the back side of the pressure plate. If you don't hear any grinding or what not, then it's probably just in the bell housing.

 

There is a lower cover that can be removed (it's a pain though). If you remove that, you may be able to retrieve the clip, if it's fell to the bottom of the bell housing.

 

You can see the plate I'm talking about in some of these pics

buy a haynes manual at your auto parts store about $15.00:)

Check out BOTH the Chilton and Haynes manuals if your autostore carries them. Depending upon the repair, one may have more information than the other or better diagrams/pictures. I actually purchased both and have more than made up for the cost in savings from avoiding dealer "service".
