Is such an idea even possible ? For awhile now when the car is running, sitting in neutral and the clutch is released there is a muffled whirling sound, press clutch in and it goes away... Yeah I know input shaft bearing is possible but those arnt that old and I feel fairly confident there ok. Clutch bearing has just under 20k on it, sachs TBI clutch so no stupidly high clamping PP that could have overpowered the bearing and let to a shorter lifespan. probably should have
I was thinking more or less to pop the VSS out, undo the swaybar, undo the DS balljoint and remove axle. Get 4 long shoulder bolts and with the engine supported slide the tranmission over as far as possible on the 'rails'. Possible or am I dreaming ?
