Ok so i'm gonna try this again...but in the right spot! lol


Hey everyone,
Ok so i just recently replaced the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing on my X....

I ran into another snag. This time i cannot get the throwout bearing to connect with the pressure plate spring catch......is there a certain way that it needs to go back on? That's the only thing that is keeping me from driving it now so it's frustrating the poo out of me!

 

you may have knocked the ring off the pressure plate when installing the trans.

 

I removed it in order to put the trans on so i wouldn't mess it up but i put it back on when i got it lined up (just used pry bar and pulled back enough to get my jand in there and push it in). I took a better look through the bottom hole and for some reason the throwout guides slipped off the control arm and they are bent now so i'll have to get a new throwout and make sure that they don't slip when putting it in again. SUCKS! hate to do it all over again but **** happens when you try and do it all by yourself! The damn throwout tabs are pretty weak to begin with.....Does anyone know of a throwout (metal) that is stronger that i can purchase?
