Well the boys over at Dezod hit the nail on the head. the rubber bushings were toast and some metal was between the pressure plate and clutch disc. another thing i noticed was the hub looked like it was stuck partially engaged. i'll post pics tomorrow.

My buddy and i got the tranny out without droping the sub-frame which i was pretty happy about. it wasnt the smoothest sailing but we got it out and would of finished it had we been able to get to a place to resurface the flywheel.

Can anyone tell me if the flywheel bolts are 1 time use or are reusable? they look like one time use to me and i'd hate to break off one of those bolts at 96 ft-lbs.

to be honest with ya i dont know, but i have reused the ones on my buddys car without any problems. I would suggest tightening them first at like 70lbs then 80 then to spec. I do it if im unsure of the bolt im using so i can try to feel for twisting of the head of the bolt. Not the greatest way to do it but it works sometimes.

You're welcome.

Don how'd the diff go? i got my tranny out with leaving my subframe in. what about you? any headaches?

I removed the subframe. Being on the lift and having a transmission jack it just made my life easier to remove the subframe. The transmission is apart on a bench I got tired and called it quits for the day on friday. I have to go back to it today.

well i finished mine at about 10pm mst today. working in the rain is a freaking blasty blast. clutch is in tho and about 50 miles put down on it.

one thing i noticed is the clutch is very off on and the engagment point is at the freakin floor. which i dont like at all.
