hmmmmmmm just bee sticking when its engaging/disengaging might have to check the cables to see if they need to be adjusted.


gl on fixing it bro

If you're getting metal to metal when you engage the transmission, then the problem is more than likely in the tranny and not the clutch. I doubt that you sheared a clutch pad, but it is possible. You need to get the car in the air and have someone listen under the car as you let the clutch out.

good idea

 

[stang8u]

well i pulled the car apart got to the tranny and a bolt is rounded off and i can not get it off im F IN SOL what can i do

 

[Windveil Blues]

Where is the bolt? You could try an extractor, or pound a good hard impact socket onto the head... you also might wanna try some wd40 or heating to loosen them up first.

 

[stang8u]

i think im going to grind it off

 

[VP_07SRT8]

dremmel it out if the screw is big enough

 

[Mustangcwo]
