Well, it looks like we're gonna find out exactly what's in there. What looks like is happening is the clutch arm is actualting fully, but the clutch ain't releasing...whether it's due to a bad pilot bearing, grabbing the disc, or collapsed springs, remains to be seen. But never in all my days have I seen a clutch fail like this, cuz it still holds full torque. But some ACT clutches are known for being hard in pilotbearings so maybe mine's squashed and isn't letting go. The rallycar's setup, which we'll duplicate, is an ACT clutch for a '93 MX6, and yeah, a 4wd TO and pilotbearing. But I tell you what I just frickin hate taking the trannies outta these cars.

I have to agree with you on this statement. Something Derrick had a problem with in his car was the pivot ball for the fork actually broke off. He did the same as you and changed M/C and slave with still no luck, so he started looking around and he found the ball had broke which ment the tranny still had to come out. Something els for you to look atOriginally posted by jay View Post

'Taint a vj23, ifn't you guys are talking about Downing's car. He got a GT28RS. I think he kept the vacuum dizzy cuz he kept the BF ECU. Yeah he's got a bit of tuning to do...'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
