I finally got that top bolt out today. The clutch withdrawal lever, though... I was able to get the pin pulled out, but I can't see any way that lever is going to come out of the hole where the dust cover went. Maybe I just haven't turned it the right way, but it seems to be way too big to come out ...

Awesome - Thank you! I'm going to Sears later to pick up a 20-inch socket extension. Hoping that will get me to that last top bolt. I did wind up buying a transmission jack from Northern Tool. The borrowed motorcycle jack won't go up high enough, so no dice with that. It will tilt as well, so hopefu...

The clutch kit should be here on Wednesday, so I'll get the truck up on jack stands and start collecting the other bits. Speaking of other bits. What else will I need, other than: Clutch kit Rear main seal Clutch sleeve grease (if not in clutch kit) Tools (anything really specialized here, other tha...

Yes, I'm planning to do the job myself. Most likely will be working alone in my garage. I can either buy a transmission jack, or borrow a friend's motorcycle jack. I do have a fair amount of experience working on cars - just not this particular job. I have a copy of the FSM and will be combing the i...

We bought this one new and have babied it. It has around 111K miles on it, and we're planning to keep it until it disintegrates. I'll make sure to check the flywheel and rough up the smooth part. What else should I look for and swap out while it's all taken apart? Any pieces that wouldn't normally c...

OK great - that's what I was hoping on the kit.

What else should I plan for while the transmission is out? Any other bearings, seals, fluids, etc. that should be replaced?

Thank you!

Any other ideas on a culprit if not the throwout bearing?

Driveshaft? Rear end? A different bearing?

2001 Pathy - OEM Clutch?

Hi guys! We have a 2001 Pathy with a manual transmission. 110K miles on the clock. It's started making a groaning/grinding noise when the clutch pedal is pressed in and it's in gear. It goes away if I either pop it into neutral or when I pull the clutch pedal back out while in gear. Seems to only ha...
