And i just looked at where the position of the TOB fork is and its well over on the passenger side. Its funny because i had come to the conclusion that it wasnt because the inside of it was able to spin freely, and thats all the hayes manual told me to check. Doh.
Oh well, i have the next two days to do this so im pretty good.


The fork should be about in the middle. Check this link out. Goto the very bottom of it.

If it was towards the passenger side, then you were probably constant pressure on the TOB which isn't good. Constant pressure on the PP & the crank as well.

Which comes from adjusting the clutch rod under the dash too far in. That can also damage the master cylinder.

You're welcome. Yes, it's a very helpful site. You may end up having to get a new master cylinder as well, so don't get disgusted right away if it don't cure the problem.

Unless the TOB has become shaped completely out of proportion from extreme wear or abuse, I think the only bad effect of one would be the noise such as what you're hearing. I don't feel shifting problems would arise from just a noisy TOB.

wait... you do understand that the position of your release fork doesnt usually have anything to do with the TOB right? Its your pivot or fork itself, pressure plate, or your hydraulic system. My money is on pivot or fork, or pressure plate. PLEASE check them out before you put the tranny back on! the 4th time would not be a charm :(

Since you are going to Mitsu for a new TOB anyways, just buy a new fork and ball to be safe since they are fairly inexpensive. Do it once (or three times), do it right.

arent the forks pretty expensive? I would think you could visually see if the fork is bent, the ball is cheap to replace, so might as well do it.

Amazing how i can now take a tranny completly out in less then 2 hours :)
Heres a couple pics, tell me what you guys think. I was talking to the guy that i bought the car from and he said the PP was pretty much brand spankin new, like less then 15000 miles on it.

I would buy a new PP, TOB, Ball/fork, master cyl. and call it done. Then you elimintate everything. Thats what I did anyway and it ended up being my clutch pedal assembly that needed welding LOL.
