A messed up clutch
Yeah well I finally got around to replacing the Tibby's Clutch. Let me tell you, PAIN IN THE A$$. Then again you all probably know this. Well anyway, a couple of friends and I got together and went at it(fixing the car that is) haha. 6 hours later we have the tranny seperated from the engine and the clutch pulled. We were only stopped tonight because we don't have the need torques screw to get the flywheel out. So we're takin a break and havin a couple of drinks. We'll continue in the morning. Here are some pics, you'll see how truely screwed up my clutch is. The clutch itself was down to the rivets. Mind you I had to drive my car to work because I had no other way to get there. So yeah things look pretty bad.
Here's a shot of the Engine being held up by one jack and the tranny by the other. I'm overseas and our hobby shops don't have an engine lift, so we had to do the ghetto way. Well it's worked quite well so far.
The pressure plate was covered in this VERY fine black powder.The powder only gets worse.
Here's the clutch. It's jagged around the edges and worn on some parts.
Both the pressure plate and flywheel were overheated and warped.
And here's the bell housing. Ummm yeah you can see how much black powder from clutch got in there. When we took the tranny off it kinda fell all over the place. Jason was even wearing it on his overalls.
Well that's it for now. I'll post more pics tomorrow when the job is done. Thanks TC for being my on-call tiburon doctor! Without you the tranny would still be stuck in there! And good luck to all those tibby owners with screwed clutches. Have fun! hahahaha
