How much money does it cost to repair the clutch in a 1989 Ford Bronco II?

Cheap... A couple hundred bucks if you do it yourself. How long do you need this thing to last? If the clutch is just worn, and you have not driven it much w/ the worn clutch, you might be able to get away with replacing just the clutch disk and throwout bearing while leaving the pressure plate and flywheel for the next owner. If the clutch is blown, meaning the throwout bearing seized, the springs on the pressure plate are toast or you drove it with a slipping clutch for too long, the cost will be more, as the pressure plate adds $100 and machining the flywheel is another 30 - 50$.

My positraction is not working and the axle spline seems fragile. I need something stronger. What rear axle assemblies will work in a 1967 GTO?

You should be able to use a 12 bolt. Check your spline count. Standard spline count is 30, you can change the axles to a 35 spline and gain as much as 89% strength. There are many vendors to help you with ordering the right parts. Let them know your use and horse power.


Where does the little rod go in a 1990 Mitsubishi pickup just replaced the clutch and forgot the rod?

If you just replaced the clutch and pressure plate, the only "little rod" I can think of is in the slave cylinder. It is what pushes the fork in to disengage the clutch. If you did not put it in, you should not be able to shift or engage the clutch. The slave cylinder should blow out the seal when you step on the clutch pedal. The rod is about the diameter of a pencil and 2 inches long more or less?


Is the clutch going 1991 geo prizm periodically will stall in idle traffic and then can't get it in gear after a restart am able to shift again?

its probable that the clutch is going and the reason why it works after you start the car back up is your giving the clutch a chance to cool "if even for a second" and the fingers on the pressure plate extend back out enough to do you some good....look into having it replaced.
