throwout bearing

zinc02GT · March 29th, 2008, 02:10 AM

Yeah I know this is the clkubhouse, but I dont have the time to sit and wait in the 99-04 section...

I have the clutch and flywheel off. How do Iget the TOB off? Ive seen it taken off with the flywheel still on.

Should I have left the flywheel on?

I need some help here. I gotta get as much done tomorrow morning before work as I can. Then after work (if I can find a place thats open to resurface my flywheel) I can have it done by tomorrow night.

On my T-5, I think it just slid off. Can't remeber exactly tho. I don't know about you 3650...

dude496 · March 29th, 2008, 02:19 AM

You could have left the flywheel on. If you have an advanced auto near by they rent the tool to pull it out. Its like $40 deposit to rent it, can't remember the exact name of it...very straight forward on how to use it.

But since you did pull the flywheel you might have to use a slide hammer on it.

nope not gonna just slide off on the 3650 or 4r70w...nor is it just gonna get pryed out....its in there pretty tight.

zinc02GT · March 29th, 2008, 02:21 AM

well i mean I can always just bolt the flywheel back up. I made some markings on em. I was going by haynes manual for a refernce and it said the make some markings with a marker. Well I did and then took the flywheel off.

The TOB did not slide out. Its stuck in there pretty damn tight...

zinc02GT · March 29th, 2008, 02:22 AM

the autozone thing though. I can just go rent it for $40 and when I bring it back I can get the $40 back right?

Yeah it has a more technical name...but yes you get your money back....your gonna be pissed at yourself for not getting it in the first place after you realize how easy it makes your life. One of those right tool for the job kinda things.

But i dont think autozone rents tools, though they might have changed...i know advanced auto does...i stick with advanced cause they give me a 10% military discount

zinc02GT · March 29th, 2008, 02:26 AM

going there at the butt crack of dawn then...

Im getting up at around 730 or so and im gonna start calling some machine shops and a few auto places for a deal on resurfacing a FW and Ill stop by there to pick up that kit. Sweet.

By the way, I picked up the transmission this afternoon after school. Mark (the mechanic) was sooooo fucking helpful. Holy shit. He gave me sealer for the shifter for free and all this shit.

He said the problem was that the synchro SLID and it started rolling into the gear or somehring liek that. Basically it was going halfway through the synchro and the gear and it ended up grinding the edge of 3rd gear off. He replaced it all and even showed me the old parts. MAJOR plus with me. Im pretty excited

theres not a chance in hell your throw out bearing is on the flywheel,
it never touches it
you are probably talking about the pilot bearing
which you use the old grease trick to get out

zinc02GT · March 29th, 2008, 02:41 AM

no I know what im talking about lol. I know the flywheel never touches it lol. I was just seeing pics in the book with the FW still on. I didnt think it would affect it because of that I just dfidnt know if it has anyhting with say roational mass and maybe a little play in it because of that... stupid I know but still...

the pilot bearing is on the fork sticking out of the tranny. lol my spec one comes greased up too lol

AHH there ya go, thats what its called...its late i'm brain dead....get the pilot bearing removal tool. I knew the throw out bearing sounded odd to me for some reason...especially since i drive an auto lmao.

dude496 · March 29th, 2008, 02:45 AM

So i have miss read this entire post...sorry, i was thinking pilot bearing.

itschristorres8 · March 29th, 2008, 02:48 AM

im not sure what your talking about

the throw out bearing rest in the clutch fork and slides on the front transmission retainer pushing the fingers on the pressure plate in

the Pilot bearing is what the end of the input shaft sits in which really is on the end of your crankshaft
thats the one that can be tricky to get out
the TO bearing should easily come out though

GT trannys(t3650) are a PITA i hate them idk WHY ford decide to have the tranny and bellhousing 1 piece

dude496 · March 29th, 2008, 02:49 AM

Ok so now i'm really confused on something....TOB should be included with new clutch, correct?

itschristorres8 · March 29th, 2008, 02:49 AM

the pilot bearing is tiny like nickel size
the throw out bearing is bigger
probably about 3-4inches
