Kristina's combo throwout bearing/ slave cylinder developed a leak last week.
The weather wasn't cooperating so today we went to wrench-it to pull it apart and see if it would be an easy fix. We rented a four post lift for 5 hours at $18 an hour, it came with a 200 piece tool kit but no rags or light. It was $10 for an All access that covers tool rental for 3 at a time all day so we got an impact and sockets to speed things up a little.
We changed out the clutch, pressure plate and combo p.o.s. last July but we did it with the engine out so we wasted some time figuring out how to pull the tranny back.
The clutch kit is lifetime warranty from Autozone so we took the broken piece back but were told we have to bring back the complete kit to get a replacement
so we have to remove the entire clutch and pressure plate to get a replacement throwout bearing/ slave cylinder p.o.s.
Wrench -It worked good because the lift made the job a lot better than laying in the cold driveway. I should have got the certificate that Shawn was selling I would use them again if a lift would make a job easier. they also have low rise lifts for tire or axle work or where you need the tires off the lift.
Jepp engineers from 87-93 are a bunch of idiots for putting a slave throwout combo P.O.S. in their produts, it should be a required recall for a changeout.
Autozone also has idiots for having to pull a good clutch and pressure plate to get warranty coverage, an why the he** does an entire clutch kit cost $167 and the just the slave/ throwout P.O.S alone cost $120
Kristina has helped swap out her engine and now she can pull the transmission, she's been doing tune ups, oil changes and other light maintenance for 15 yrs. She even stripped and painted her 67 VW bug in High school
