I have never really have got the hang of dis-engaging the clucth

am I doing it wrong?

Ok so the fork gets pushed back towards the rear of the tranny and the relase collar gets pushed forward correct?

yep..

youll also need to pry and separate the wedge collar from the release collar through the other service hole...

use a long screwdriver..wiggled with the fork and it disengages..

Yes, AMP is right....There's a release washer you release with a screwdriver

and if you don't do this you will never remove the tran's.

dude it is so simple that is why you cant get it your thinking to hard. Look in lamens terms get a 12"-16" flat head screwdriver push the circle cage into the pressure plate and pryback on the throwout bearing and BAM it is done home skillet.

Go read the workshop manual homey. I have one and nowhere does it say the order in which to relase the clutch. This is the second engine I pulled and I still couldnt get it right.



Anyway I'm all stright., Thanks guys.
