moosens Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 1992 2,2 Legacy FWD 5spd I did upgrade to the metal plate as the title says about 150k previous. Doing my clutch and rear main soon. Anybody show any signs of the upgrades needing to be resealed ? Or are they typically good beyond 150k and up ? I know , I'm spending as much time asking as it'll take to just reseal it. ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Related - how about those little wire springs for the T/O bearing ? Replace? They are also only 150k old. Car is approaching 300k quickly. My best car ever. Might take it to 400k and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 For as little as it takes to reseal the separator while you're in there, just go ahead and do it. Also be sure to reseal the access hole cover. That's Probably what's leaking and not the rear main. Yes to the spring clips on the TOB. I would also replace the release fork if it's 300k miles old. They have a tendency to crack at the pivot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 If it's the cast aluminum cover, with the philips-head screws, I might not mess with it. I've had the aluminum get brittle around the bolt holes, and the force of getting those loose (usually with an impact driver) will break it. If it's the stamped steel one, with the allen bolts, I would definitely pull it apart and reseal. Meh, the throwout clips may not be necessary, but they're cheap enough (30539AA000, MSRP $2.58 each). Definitely inspect the clutch fork around the pivot. I have seen them fatigue and crack/break. Make sure the pivot ball isn't scored, and smear some grease on there at the very least, if not replace the whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Ok thanks ! Nothing leaking as I know it , but I'll find out for sure maybe later today. I do have a fork I got from somewhere with the "AA" in the part number. Can't recall the whole p/n but if it's a match it's going in. I went dealer on the disk , plate , t/o bearing , and clips as well as a new rear main seal. Also have a new flywheel I scored cheap a while back. Thanks again! Cheers !!
