Hi Gun Precisions! That's odd, if the starter and starter solenoid are new then it could only be the ring gear on the flywheel, maybe missing some teeth. If the starter does not turn at all, it may also be your starter relay and on rare occasions is the actual PCM, the wiring can somethings become faulty and not activate the starter. Hope this helps and please let us know what you find!

Hey man so I just put in my new clutch and I'm trying to get my clutch fork on and your video I see you have a pivot ball mine doesn't look like that it doesn't have a ball ... I'm trying to get the fork to stay out but it doesn't like yours in this video

@AlexAutoFun

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Vincent! Yep the fork won't stay if you do not have a pivot ball or some other point for the fork to pivot against. Your pivot ball maybe missing, broken or damaged. I can think of two reasons why it may not be there: it was not installed by the previous person installing the tranny (but this would cause some serious driving issues since the fork won't pivot correctly) or the previous person working on the tranny modified it (I'm assuming you are still running the T850) and the transmission will have to be restored to normal to use a pivot ball. Hope this helps and please let us know what you find bud!

Hi Marquidoes! Sometimes it goes in right away but others it requires some patience and trial and error. Eventually it pops into place. The key is not to try to force it together (do not attempt to force it to pop in by bringing both the block and the tranny together with the bolts, it's tempting but I would avoid it), after some wiggling the input shaft eventually engages the transmission and will slide in fairly easy.
