drive on the highway yesterday. when I excited the free way it started squilling like a slippinng belt.
when I put in the clutch its louder
the clucth feel super soft now.
it looked like was smoking brom the bell housing when I got home.
smelled like it to

but the clutch is NOT slipping still pulles when I floor it.

I'll "WISHING" i might be a stretched cable. but with my luck it probably wont be

I just poked around a bit this morning.
I took the cover off where the cable attaches to trans. I can remove the cable by hand. (alot of play). But I think its because the pressure plate is not pressing back som how. so it looks like i'm going to have to pull a trans for the first time.

so i'll be having a beer and pizza meet and greet sat. lol. jk.

Any truth to it being easier to remove the trans from the bell housing first? then take it off after that? ( I read a few posts that suggested this)

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I think it's a lot easier to take the transmission off first. It really isn't that hard of a job.
