Well Hello There Fellow Technicians And Hivers!
The Time Has Come.
I finally got a break to push this clutch into its place!
Bossman cornered me and told me that he will be attending some of his personal affairs and since he's going to I should to.
Naturally to that I wont object at all.
I wasted literally no time at all! None!
I quickly gathered everything around and proceeded, fortunately I've done quite a few of these during my time, but there is nothing like working on your own stuff!
The Extra Mile.
For those who are actually keeping track of this, well they would know that I didn't actually need a clutch.
Wait why did you buy one then you tard?
Well it was more of an assurance thing really and since the clutch fork failed the clutch did slip quite a lot over a 400km distance so yeah I didn't want to fit the old clutch back and have problems another 400km down the road!
So I got myself the clutch too, which I've waited for quite some time.
In the picture you can see the clutch forks, only the one failed with me. Luckily.
Them Fancy Tools.
I am in such a fortunate position... really I am.
If I wasn't a techie working for a transmission shop I'd probably have paid around $2700 (USD) for this job in total. Give or take, instead so far I only paid about $480 (USD), so far though!
Also even if I was a techie I'd still not have the right tools for this job? I wont be going out and buying a damned expensive kit for just one simple clutch. No no.
Ready To Head Homewards!
Well this has been fun but now I can really do with my car!
Seriously it has been far too long and heck knows how I've managed to be without it for so long.
She'll be shifting as smooth as silk now! Let's hope it stays that way for a long time to come!
Stay tuned because I do have more coming this way!
Until the next teardown or buildup stay safe people and most of all stay Blessed!
Take note this is not a how to guide, merely myself talking about the work I do and my thoughts around certain things.
