I've got a whining noise when my clutch is engaged (when I'm not pushing on it) and someone told me it could be some bearing that needs adjusting. Any ideas what they were talking about?

A chirping sound would be a more accurate description.

UTGAMER: How much is it costing you to get your clutch assembly replaced?

What is a quadrant kit/cable? I'm not familiar with that

Doing it yourself about 130 for the cheapest clutch assembly, but if your gonna pay a shop your looking at at least $400 probably. IM not gonna lie if your doing it yourself its a major pain. For me anyway got a 94 Gt and cant get the bellhousing off. There is 2 bolts on top that I cant get to and its raining outside on top of that. Got to go get some longer wrenches and hope for the best. G/L

Its a lot easier if you remove the tranny from the bellhousing before trying to remove the bellhousing.

Universal on 2 10'' extensions. i let mine sit on the ground to do it... it just depends on how high your car is up...




But to the op its your TOB.... and this info will help you if you go to replace it yourself

So if I let tail sit on ground The bellhousing will drop so I can get the top bolts? Would I need jack under oil pan as tail sits?

not unless you dont have motor mounts.

if you feel safer put a block of wood between your firewall and engine...
