ok got the whole trans and everything back together today......took it for a test drive and the clutch seems like to easy to apply.......i got a new clutch cable for it but have yet to install it.....it was dark i think i hooked the clutch cable up wrong.....to tired now and dark....looks like it will have to wait for tomarrow......the clutch i put it was an EXEDY....it was like $400 but you pay for quality.......keep you all updated on what i find tomarrow with my clutch cable....and thanks again everyone for your wealth of information and assistance....

 

If the only thing wrong with it is the pedal seeming to require to little pressure, dont worry. Same thing happened just after I replaced my clutch last summer, it almost felt like the cable was'nt tied to anything. It came back to normal inside a couple of weeks. I think it's the fresh grease applied between the fork and throw out bearing and between the throw out bearing and shaft that's responsible for that feeling.

Just my .02$

i guess that would make sense......thanks frag.....

i also had something else happen that maybe you could give me some insight on.......when i removed my transmission i forgot to drain it.....so when i pulled out the driveshaft from the transmission i go soaked in a bath of 80-90 gear oil......Is this normal for there to be fluid poaring out of there?......

Pretty much - it has the oil in it and you pulled out the input.

 

I will drip all over particularly if you had it nose down

 

I'm not familiar with Sub trans, but in 'Murcan old stuff, the cluster gears came out with the input shaft and they had lots of oil in the sync's

Can't help you on that one. I took the engine out instead of dropping the trans. I think aircraft eng. has it figured out.

thanks fellas....i thought it would be normal....it was kind of entertaining to see...i unbolted the shift linkage removed the driveshaft and slowly lowered the trans and it started poaring.......i figured "well to late now"......

At my age, I might just try that myself. It might stop the old joints from creaking...
