Thanks for the help guys. I have the transmission out and on the ground. The clutch is off but now I'm worried.
I bought this car because the clutch was out. I knew this getting into it, but he just told me he had done the clutch only 5 months ago and it is already gone. I've done one other clutch and it worked perfect for a good 20k+ and then I sold that truck without a problem. I'm just not sure what he did so wrong to cause this fast of failure?
I'm guessing this clutch had less then 2,000 miles on it. He did not have the flywheel redone or replace the throw out bearing. Not the brightest bulb. But still his loss, my gain.
Any ideas what he did wrong that would cause such fast failure?
Also I found several bolts way too lose or missing
The ultimate kicker is when I saw he did not replace the seal going from the passenger side drive shaft to the engine, but instead used a radiator clamp, plastic / silicon to try to make one… arrg But still for only $1,000 with new tires and a smooth running engine, the clutch job is worth the work.
I added photos. Does anyone know what that metal string stuff is? What's left of the clutch? Found several peaces around the clutch.
