Clutch Came Off Throwout Bearing!
#1
All,
A few days ago I installed my motor. I then bolted up the tranny etc... Anyway, today I had some time so I decide to put the bolts on the clutch tonight.
I am under the car, in that little space viewing into the bell housing area I am spinning the pressure plate so that it aligns with the dowels.
I am trying to get it lined up and then i hear a clunk. Seems that the clutch pressure plate fell off the throwout bearing.
Do I have to pull the motor back out and set it back in place? The pressure plate is now moving up and down, before it was just moving in a circular motion.
This ever happened to anyone? Please do not tell me I have to pull the motor back out again!
Thanks for the feedback.
Anthony

Any ideas what to do or how to get it back on?
I was thinking about just bolting it up anyway and when I depress the clutch pedal,it will force it though and that will make it connect properly.
Any ideas?
