This morning on my way to work i finfd really i mean really hard to change my gears, sometimes i just wont get any first gear. Then i thought it was the clutch cable being stretched so i change it after work($70). But after i install it it still the same. Anyone have any ideas, otherwise ill change the CLUTCH on sunday. THANKS boys keep up the good work...........

maybe the clutch is worn out hoe many k's has it done. or maybe the diaphragm springs on the pressure plate have gone soft and arent disengaging it properly.

Have you checked the firewall where the cable goes through? Or the clutch pivot pin?

its done 300,000ks, i bought it when it was 180,000ksi havent change the clutch seens ive got it............ SO my best bet is to change the clutch an everything else that needs change like the crankshaft rear seal which i wanted to change for ages cause its leaking oil........

Where are you gonna win it from?

The price for will vary from $250 - $500 depending on what you want (brand, HD or std etc) and where you buy from. I picked up an Xtreme HD clutch kit a few months ago for $315.

Is there a big different between a STD and HD clutche...........

not really, unless you ar putting out decent power. I got a Excedy clutch for my EA cost was $230 and that included throwout bearing and machining of my flywheel. Make sure you get your flywheel machined.

Like MADXF said, check where the cable goes thru the bulkhead and also the pedal box as this can and does bend/tear apart meaning you are are only getting partial clutch withdrawal.

Indeed, because oil will have leaked from the rear crank shaft seal and caused hot spots on the clutch plate, so if you don't get it machined it will shutter & carry on when you change gears.
