What did I break!!!

The best way to do it in a tight space is to use a large chain wrench to hold the damper and a large 1/2in. pull bar. That's how I do them. When the space is tight and you can't get a 1/2in. impact on it, that's what you do.

That's how I've always done it as well. Speaking of ol' chain wrenchy, I haven't used him in a long time.

Anywho, I just don't see how this one diaphragm finger got bent forward. The CSC is in constant contact with the inner most part of the diaphragm per the witness marks. If the transmission was in gear with the emergency brake on while your turning the engine by hand and the tires are on the ground, I would expect the splines on the input shaft to get messed up since the clutch is wanting to spin when the input shaft isn't.

It's like when you use the correct size socket on a bolt and you start to round the bolt head off since the bolt is so tight.

And going back to the one diaphragm finger being bent forward still shouldn't be enough to disengage the clutch from the flywheel. In proper operation when the CSC pushes forward on the center of the diaphragm the outer part comes back allowing for another spring loaded piece that is behind the clutch disc to come back as well.

Night night, and post pics of the destruction. I'm curious what you find. And do the job on your back. It will be fun.

Also, in the pictures, what we are seeing is the overcenter fingers. Not sure what it does, but they are in correct position. I'll figure it out once it's out.

I am in process of removal. I have a quickjack and it's been a lifesaver. So far everything is coming off easy and in good order. No issues being on my back.

Please feel free to add all your theories.

I do have the new Milwaukee 1/2" mid torque impact, and it looks like it would fit.! Says it can bust 650 lb.ft, even if it does 450, I might win. LOL.

Thats another story.

All my upgrade parts are in. New Oem clutch assy. new OEM
CSC slave new OEM master. New OEM Dual mass FW. Can't wait to try it out.

Just joking about the OEM stuff. Zspeed and RJM stuff.

Anyway, tranny is out, clutch is out. Can't see any physical damage to anything there. Bolts were tight and wear looks normal.

The clutch disk springs are loose in their position. I can spin them with fingers. I think that is normal.

The flywheel, I can turn the dual pieces slightly. about 1/2" either way. Is this normal?

Pics to follow.

It's all back in!. Just working on the RJM Pedal and Tilton MC install. Keep getting pulled away to other things. Now it's snowing and I plowed all morning.

Too tired to do anything.
