Clutches and Flywheels

get a new clutch

a old one

Remove cap from filler bottle on firewall have someone watch fluid bottle for you get under truck & remove slave cylinder from transmission take rod and depress it against side of trans. all the way down multiple times the person above watching can tell you when the air bubbles stop this seem to work well on a chevy Camero that also has no bleeder valve on it.

You can pull the motor or thetransmission, though the trans is easier. But if you need to ask you should probably take it to a shop.

When your clutch goes out your rpms will climb up, but you will get no power. essentially your engine is in neutral, and therefore not transferring any power from your engine to your transmission.

The clutch on a 2155 can be adjusted through the linkage. By loosening and shifting it in one direction, the position of the clutch and its tension can be changed.

mack fan clutch has left hand thread.i have changed them out before, hope that helps you

it is inside the bell housing

You can use a three bolt steering wheel type puller if it is not too tight . You may need to purchase the puller made specifically for removing the flywheel that threads into the hub itself. I bought one on-line for $42 bucks. Absolutely DO NOT heat or hammer on the flywheel because you WILL screw up the stator , the trigger sleeve or the flywheel stator magnets that are epoxied to the flywheel. My flywheel was so tight, I had to put tension on the puller and let Liquid Wrench soak in overnight before it finally came loose. Note: Once your flywheel is off, DO NOT remove the magnetic sleeve pressed onto the inner hub. It is a critical timing piece that is epoxied onto the hub in a precise position that even the factory could not tell me how to position it correctly.

You need to calculate the tangential stresses associated with a rotational velocity and thickness of the flywheel. It will be easier to assume a perfect cylinder and you will also need to know the material properties of your flywheel (poisson's ratio, density).

Probably at the upper end of the clutch pedal

Loosen of the bleeding nipple, now tighten it back a little. pit a plastic tube over the nipple and hang the end of the tube into a container that has some fluid in it just to stop air from being sucked up it. Loosen of the nipple. Make sure the master is full and gently pump the fluid through, all the time making sure that the master cylinder does not empty. when no more bubbles are coming through the tube fasten the bleeding nipple and the clutch should be working after a couple of more pumps.

I changed the flywheel on my bothers 1982 Cadillac and you have to take the whole engine out and its in the back and you do what you need to do. You have to unhook everything cherry pick the engine and fix it. Pretty simple sorry not much to say.

Apparently you can. I'm in the process of doing this now on a 1997 sl2. The belt route diagram shows both routes. I believe you will lose the air dryer with the defrost setting but for a short term solution the cars back on the road. I also unplugged the clutch assemblyon the compressor. The new A/C clutch assembly is $142 and has to be ordered. I only found one parts store that will order it for me.

Under the hood - drain or soak up the brake fluid in the reservoir, remove 4 nuts/bolts to pull the A/C hose out of the way (tie it off), remove the plastic reservoir, disconnect the fluid line from the master cylinder (m/c). From inside the car - pull the pin that connects the rod to the clutch pedal, remove the 2 nuts that are holding the master cyl in place. Manipulate the m/c and rod and pull it out toward the engine compartment - it may require some force. If you rebuild it, make sure you hone it out and clean before assy. Try to adj the rod the same for fine tuning later - it will make it easier. Reverse for installation.

You releave the pursure on the fan belt with a 3/8

Purchase a repair manual at most parts stores, ( around $12 ) for detailed instructions on this and many other repairs.

maybe you bled evrything out, or you have a leak

Cracks in the clutch disk will cause the noise and a wore syncronizer in will not allow gear to mesh, more so in cold weather.

wow i just did this on a 88 its fun anyway take out the rear drive shaft then transfer case then front drive shaft then unbolt starter then take out the trany to engine retaining bolts theres is 6 i think on the 5 speed 12 bolt. then work the tranny out of the clutch there are to screws on the slave cyc in side the bell housing in the tranny take the screws out lift the slave out and slide the new one in o ya the fluid hus on the side of the bell housing it a quik disconect push the whit cooler in ward and pull on the line have fun and good luck and buy a chiltons book

master clyinder has to be on a slant. call ford dealer they will tell you.

It will turn one way and not the other.

how do you adjust a clutch cable in a 2002 kia Rio

No clutch cable... Saturns use a hydraulic clutch system for all manual transmissions.

THERE IS ASPECIAL TOOL THAT COST ABOUT $7.00 OR YOU CAN USE TWO VERY SHARP FLAT SCREWDRIVERS INSERT THEM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LINE AND PRY INWARD THEN REMOVE THE LINE BUT WITH THE RIGHT TOOL IT IS VERY EASY GO TO THE DEALER ASK FOR THE TOOL OR YOU CANCAN BUY FROM AUTO PART BUT TOO MANY PEOPLE AT THE AUTOPARTS STORE KNOW ABOUT THIS SPECIAL KIND OF SLAVE CYLINDER GOOD LUCK
