Greetings from the FNG,

    Has anyone had to address a throwout bearing on one of the 4 speed trannys yet?  Mine started making that infamous knocking noise while out of gear however it subsides while in gear, under load.  Any and all comments welcome, thanks everyone!

Happy travels,

BD

Its one of those package deal things. If you have to change the throw out bearing, you need to change the clutch disc and pressure plate. If you have to change the clutch disc and pressure plate, you need to change the throw out bearing. To much labor to do it twice

A HD stage 2 clutch package runs $110 or so a stock one is in the $70 range. You don't need a stage 3 or 4 kit.

You also might think about changing the slave cylinder and maybe the master cylinder too.

It's not too bad of a job.  Have a friend help and parts ready and it can be done in a day.

The 2 upper bell housing bolts will test your vocabulary. The preferred method is to remove transmission cross member and lower the rear of the transmission. I think its a 17 mm bolt. a LONG 1/2" extension and a breaker bar.

Installing an allen hex or a torx will make the next change easier (in 20 years😁)
