    Can't get tranny in

    Longer? You want it shorter. And actually with a half inch of play you are good. The clutch fingers won't ever move that far back. And just so were clear; cable is off and you can move the TOB back towards the transmission so there is a 1/2" gap between the fingers and TOB? Yeah I meant...

    Can't get tranny in

    Yeah the cable isn't installed yet and it is a dual disk. I first tried the stock pivot ball and there was probably 1/2" play, so I used the adjustable one to make it a little longer to bring the throwout bearing closer to the fingers. I will adjust it a little shorter now to give it some room

    Can't get tranny in

    Thanks again for all the advice! The plastic alignment tool definitely sagged a bit so I had to wiggle it to line it up. Works now. I used the adjustable pivot ball stud and noticed that the throwout bearing is slightly touching the pressure plate fingers. I can spin the bearing by hand but...

    Can't get tranny in

    Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna pull the clutch apart again and start over. I wish I had a steel shaft to use but I'll try putting a little pressure on the disks using the plastic one and see what happens

    Question about cancelling cylinders when diagnosing engine tick

    Just wondering about this. In the bulletin for the dreaded engine head tick it says the following: Try to isolate the noise by canceling the cylinders, by unplugging the injectors one at a time (start with #8 cylinder). Now does this mean I unplug the #8 cylinder first, then plug it back in...

    Jacking up my car

    This may sound like a dumb question, but I can't quite figure it out. I wanna jack up the rear of my car and put it on jack stands. I looked in the Terminator FAQ section and found the jacking points for the front and rear. If I put a jack under the rear jacking points, how can I possibly slide...
