Clutch to Floor

[JAMADOR]

Good to know. Will plan on doing spark plugs [already in hand], coolant & brake/clutch fluids once we get past the school schedule chaos we've got right now.

It's probably your slave seeing you're at 100k. Mine started going bad at 98k and totally failed at 104k completely unusable. Do you hear any noises when you have the pedal pushed in? I heard a whirring noise for those few K miles before it failed. Ended up replacing mine myself so if you need any pointers hit me up!

And for bleeding I don't like getting under my car so I just remove the air box and access the bleeder from there. Suck the fluid out of the brake fluid reservoir, then fill your syringe with fresh fluid and push it through the bleeder valve, repeat 3 times. I used this it fits our valve perfect

Good luck, school chaos is never ending

Yup, 3 kids at 3 different schools, all with different start/end times.

My condolences😬, I thought waiting in line for one kid was bad enough...

Thanks, missed these earlier. Will look those up.
No noises from the clutch/TOB, and it hasn't stuck to the floor in the past 2 days [fingers crossed].

What would you rate the DIY, difficulty-wise? Does the trans need to come out, or is there room the split it & squeeze in?

The trans must come out. I'd say it's simple but hard work. Definitely doable yourself as I had no help. You'll need a transmission jack with a strap and make sure it can tilt in all directions as getting the trans back in is the hardest part.

If you're looking for someone who can do the job for you at a reasonable price and who knows these cars hit up Francisco Olivares on FB. He's South East Houston but I think he might do mobile work too if you got the space

I'd also consider an LSD while you're in there... The mFactory I installed made a HELL of a difference.

Thanks again, posting on mobile but will look at the FSM tomorrow at work.
Trans put top or bottom? No access to a lift nor a high lift jack.
Last FWD trans I was involved in pulling was an Escort in college. We never got it to mate back up properly, lol. No idea what happened to that car.
