I can relate. After enrolling in college my wallet is empty. lol

I haven't been on much.. Is your car still running rough?

 

Not sure. I didn't get a chance to drive it a lot after replacing the o2's before the clutch went out

 

New clutch came today!!! But the alignment tool is broken so I'll have to buy one from oreillys. Oh well. They're only $5

 

The glue won't hold? You know how to get the old pilot bushing out?

 

Idk if the glue will hold or not. And no I have no clue how to get the old bushing out

 

The pilot tool doesn't have much force on it. When all is lined up, it should slip in and out easily.
Old school trick for the bushing. Find yourself a wooden dowel rod that just fits in the bushing hole, and cut it down to a usable length. Pack grease into the old bushing hole, but not totally filled. Put the dowel in the hole and hit it hard with a hammer. The hydraulic force will drive the bushing out. Add more grease if you need to displace the air space as the bushing comes forward.

 

Oh ok. Got it

 

Another job saved by "the hammer"!

 

Well I got the clutch changed out! I have some pics of the old clutch. It lost a spring lol. The new clutch fork I bought was too long so I used the old one. The polit bushing was so worn that it fell apart just by tapping it with a screw driver. All in all the swap went well and the new clutch feels a lot more sturdy than my old one. Here are some pics for you guys


The new clutch disk only has 4 springs instead of 6... Hmmm

The new pressure plate looks a lot heftier than the old one lol

Definitely not the right clutch fork....

 

Made in CHINA?


Hey it might have a couple less springs but its got twice as many rivets!
