I'm thinking its time to get a new clutch. it grabs almost at the top of the pedal. its just over 2 years old and was never adjusted or anything. I need to meet up with someone soon who knows about this cause i really dont want to pay out my ass to get a new one put in. If someone wants to meet somewhere who knows what they are doing when it comes to a trans let me know. I could spring for food & drink and any part or tool that is needed. I just want to at least have a better understanding on how to replace one.

Anyone want to just take a look at the car? this saturday im putting my suspension on and thats my only day off besides tonight and thursday night and sunday morning.

Umm.....if you have the clutch out and see that the rear main is leaking, how about just replacing the rear main seal. It's not like you have to take the tranny out to get to it (at that point!)

a very good point that is why im asking. see even though your avitar looks like something that could be wondering the sewers its still pretty cool and a good idea

My avitar is stewy from the family guy which is probably much better then the simpsons but not as edgy as southpark. well worth the watch.

I thought it looked familiar. Never got into the family guy though.

Chuck, not that I want to be the party pooper, but I'm not sure that a clutch job is doable in one day, because you should resurface the flywheel. If you have a good shop close by that can handle that in a few hours, it's a snap.
