the fork is stuck in disengage position. the pedal is stuck down, u can still pull it up with hand, but doesnt make a difference. just got home though, about to jack it up and look at it.

Happy New Year to me.

Sucks, on the Z that sounds like a pivot ball. Hope it is something simpler.

bad news. looks like it is my pressure plate or throwout bearing.
i took the slave cylinder out and the fork stays in disengaged position and i can move it left and right about an inch easily with my hand.

Hope you get it figured out quick and it turns out to be a cheap throw out bearing and not a pressure plate.

hey man. make sure that your pedal is mounted correctly, there is a bolt hole above the pedal bracket that must be attached to the firewall area. it is vertical, if it isnt connected then the pedal rests its weight on the CMC causing premature pp wear and clutch wear.

there is a bracket all the way up with a bolt sticking out that you're suppose to slide the pedal bracket into and secure it with a nut. the automatics didnt come with it and I didnt feel like welding that bracket just because it was gonna be a pain in the ass. I'll have to figure something out so that it doesnt put all of its weight on the CMC.


in other news, installed the flush mount spoiler today. took like two minutes.
i'll try to take some better pictures once the lipkit is finished.

good luck with fixing your car. Since you fixed or bought a new rear bumper have you had any more problems with it catching the wheel?

i was wrong about that, it wasnt the wheel catching it, but at high speeds, it couldnt hold the air pressure since my tabs were gone and there was nothing holding the sides. but now its all good, better than factory strength!
