Default Re: Pressure Plate Fingers pushed in

While looking through the inspection hole, watch the throwout bearing movement as you run the clutch pedal from all the way up to as far down as it goes. If the pedal moves a lot more than the bearing, then the previously mentioned linkage failure is most likely. The throwout arm on the outside of the bell housing is easy to inspect, and may have broken. My brother had that happen. If that arm is ok, and when you run the pedal from up to down, the arm, shaft and linkage move as they are supposed to, then the likely cause is the pin that fixes the throwout bearing collar arm to the shaft. That will require removing the transmission and bell housing. Inspect all this stuff before you pull the transmission out.
