1993 Legend clutch replacement pics

apparently the previous owner had a shop try and replace the clutch and they couldn't get the extension shaft plug out. apparently their 1/2" drive slipped out a couple of times rounding it out. jer got the great idea to have our friend dan weld our 1/2" right to the plug, it was crude but worked...

if you've replaced clutches you'll notice this is a backwards set-up. the fork pulls out. the disc sorta floats on the bearing. on the ground this is what it looks like..

if somebody does a search and pulls up this thread, please call your local Acura and price out the parts before you decide to do it yourself. it all needs to be replaced, including the flywheel! expect 7-10hrs shop time if you take it to a mechanic.

That's an interesting flywheel, I can see how resurfacing would cause a clearance issue... pretty neat...
The clutch pulling out to release is nothing new though... MK3 and MK4 Supra clutches are like that.

the clutch pulling out isn't new, hyundai's have it :icon16: ....but it's different compared to your average honda/acura. thought i would point it out for the people who hadn't seen it before, being i posted this in the civic section.

now i need to get the del sol pics out of the camera, LoL.
