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.

You don't have to pull the motor out again.

I just came back in from the garage, I cannot get the damn thing back on. I am not sure what to do now. T and R is closed so I cannot even ask them. I guess I will just wait for tomorrow.



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?

if you look in the shop manual it tells you how to engage and disengage that thing, you need 1 long prybar and a long screwdriver
