Mitsu engineers no dumb, u need read...

 

did you seriously remove the clutch pressure plate with the transmission!?!

you are suppose to stick two large flat blade screw drivers into the lower inspection hole on the transmission and put them between the release bearing and the pressure plate. then twist both 90 degrees and hold them there. lastly hit the cluth fork with a hammer to release the pressur plate from the bearing.

 

the idiot is u...

do it right

 

yea i tried that. thats why we took it out with the tranny. its really annoying. :-/. i've done the job before but last time wasn't this hard. it acutally came out

 

durrrr, HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

 

I dont blame you dude, changing anything clutch/tc/tranny related in this car sucks big time. If the engine actually went the right way it would be easier.

 

How in the world did you get the pressure plate off with the trans if it is bolted to the flywheel? Wow? Maybe a how-to may help in the future.

 

if ya take out the boot where the clutch fork is you can have someone turn the crank so youc an get the 3/8 ratchet in there and turn them . i got a grinder now ( >.. bye bye bearing lol) so im gonna hopefully get it out tonight . yay.

 

Was wrecking things just for fun? I don't think thats how the factory intended for it to come off.

 

sorta.. :P

 

It isnt they way it is suppose to be done. Look in the how to section. I am sure there is a more detailed write up on clutch removal. Just because you can not follow directions doesnt make the engineer idiots, even if I agree with that asesment.

 

yea i agree im an idiot :P. i was playin around with the new one and figure out exactly how it comes off. its soo easy.. lol. so next time im gonna do it the right way . i finally got the pressure plate out and puttin tranny back in car (the biatch is heavy) so i should have car done by this weekend .
