I need some help. I'm in the middle of pulling my tranny for a new clutch, but can't tell if I've seperated the t-bearing from the pressure plate properly. Does it need to come out of the pressure plate, or just release off of it a little?

 

Well, its not too hard actually. I've done it on my driveway myself. Once you have the transmission apart, you could just let it rest on the floor, just enough to get to the clutch. REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!! unlike the Talon, you would have to remove the shaft that connects through the transmission and transfer-case with a slide hammer. The transfer-case will not come off without first removing that shaft!!
Now, the next tricky thing to remove is the throw-out bearing. Evo uses a pull type TOB. At the bottom of the transmission bell housing there's a rubber plug. Remove the plug and stick a long screwdriver in, to pry the TOB apart.
Here's how to get it apart, push the clutch fork in the opposite direction untill it clicks. and then your friend under the car with the screwdriver would stick the screwdriver in between the TOB and the clutch and twist/ pry the TOB apart.
I tried my best explaining. Good Luck!

 

The shafts are all out, and it looks like the only thing stopping the tranny from coming off it the TOB. How can you hold the clutch fork while prying? When it comes off, does it pop off or will it just ease away from the pressure plate?

 

You do have a new TOB and clutch rite? Look at the way it locks in place. This is a pull type TOB. You have to push the TOB towards the clutch all the way and then hold it there. Then get a long screwdriver and get between the TOB and clutch and just twist the screwdriver. you will see a silver collar between the TOB and clutch. you want to pry between the collar and the TOB.

 

Exactly, I was using a big flat head screwdriver and was really tough. I then got a 3 ft pry bar and the tob came off my 2nd try- lots easier.
