Just did a clutch install everything looks to be fine, when you go to pull the clutch fork towards the drivers side it doesnt stay locked in that position it goes right back to the passenger side. What can i do to get it locked so i can but the slave cylinder back on????

 

little help hahah

 

The release bearing won't lock in place?

 

Maybe try pusing a little harder to get the TOB to clip into the pressure plate? Good luck.

 

i think the springs are in backwards on the actual TOB. Ill find out tonight when i take it back out!

 

for anybody who has this issue...............it was the little circle piece that sticks out of the clutch and attaches it self to the TOB when its engaged (sp) that piece fell out of the clutch. MAN next time im going to double check EVERYTHING, a thing that takes 2 seconds to fix cost me about 3 hours.

 

Edit:: (double post) sorry

 

I did an install a while back, everything went smooth till trying to put the tranny back on. I kept knocking that ring off the clutch.

It took me forever to finally get that in. Too bad I missed this post I could have mentioned it and saved you time.

 

Yea they call that the "Wedge Collar" and it is a PITA. Tricky little bastard to get off too.

 

yeah how about this i had the whole thing on and the axels back in, THEN i realized the tob wasnt locking................the swear jar was overflowing when i finally figured it out. Stew how did you bleed your ACD thats my next step.

 

I've got my car torn down right doing a clutch install......had a hell of time getting the TOB to release from the fork.....Finally got it but broke one of the clip on the original throw out bearing......How will i know if the TOB is locked into place???
