expected if the pedal would not move.
What is the likely cause of that? Did the clutch fork fall off the release bearing or maybe the fulcrum point opposite the release bearing?
As long as the center of the end of the fork is visable (there is an indent at this point) through the slave cylinder hole it has not moved from the throwout bearing.
Biggest question, will I be able to rectify this through the slave cylinder hole, or is this a 'separate the engine/trans' job?
Im sure Im not the first this has happened to... Thanks for the insight guys. |
Depends on the issue. If the fork cannot be pressed then you will have to remove the tranny away from the engine to find out why. It should be able to move. However I am not sure a broom by pure physical means will be able to release the pressure plate.
When you remove the old hydraulics did the end of the salve cylinder come out also? There is a plastic rubber cap with that is on the end of the metal rod. It has two legs coming from it that will pull it off the metal rod and leave it stuck in the tranny
