I Need Help Replacing a Clutch

[crain_christoph]

I need help replacing a clutch this weekend in my 1995 mazda. Sharpe said we could use his place. Cook said he would help. I dont have a bunch of money but ill supply some money for beer if you help (Im only 18 so you have to buy it). If we have time i would like to put my lift coils in to. So please let me know if your willing to help.

[Sharpe]

TAMOR wrenchfest, lets see if we can get the cops called. Its been awhile :gigem:

[BMFScout]

I'm not sure what's going on Saturday during the day, I might could help supervise.

[FJAggie07]

Uh oh WAT for a newbie.

[Fredo]

This sounds like it could be fun.

[crain_christoph]

Cool. What time yall wanna start?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Hmm, I may even be down for this. One last hurrah Fred/Jimmy?

[jerryg79]

Cool. What time yall wanna start drinking?

fixed it for you :gigem:

I'm going to try to convince the gf we need to have a few pre-wedding beers at the durty bird. Especially if ed is going to be in town one last time. You sailors interested?

Sorry for the hijack.

[BMFScout]

We'll be in Friday night, through Sunday afternoon. Only have one thing we have to do for sure. Call me.

[Sharpe]

Cool. What time yall wanna start?
Sunrise.








Pff yah right. Whenever we get up so, noonish.

[crain_christoph]

Im having doubts about the clutch now, I wonder if it the transmission or maybe even my imagination. It seemed to okay today but ever now and then i have problems getting it in gear. Somebody wanna drive it for me and tell me what the problem is??? I know dang new guys dont know nothing.*** But if yall would I would like to do the springs for sure.

[agjohn02]

hydraulic clutch? put some fluid in it.

It shouldn't be too hard to diagnose.

When you have the clutch pushed in, is it hard to get it in gear? Does it grind?

Once it's in gear and you let out on the clutch does it feel normal or is it not getting full power?

What kinda vehicle is this and how many miles are on it (clutch)?

[crain_christoph]

It is hydraulic but it has enough fluid. When i push the clutch in its hard to put in gear and it grinds very seldom. It feels like it get enough power when it shifts fine but when it messes up it doesnt. I dont know how many miles the clutch has, its a 95 mazda 2300 4x4. Ill buy the clutch and meet yall saturday, and if its not the clutch ill take it back.

[crain_christoph]

Sound Good?????? Thanks Guys

[Seth]

[FJAggie07]

You're in college right? Learn how to type, Rowdy is a moron and he can type better than you can!

[Sharpe]

Chris, he needs help putting a new clutch in his mazda truck but he wasnt possitive that the clutch was bad.

Seth made a gramatically bastardized joke at chadnutz's expense.

[Seth]

I was going to write that he should "put a solid axle under it" but then decided to say "def do a solid axle swap". looks like i didnt backspace enough. I almost screwed up this post too. heh.

[agjohn02]

public forum, please moderate rowdy and band him

1.) for using profanity in a public forum

2.) for using it in an un-funny, out of context manner

[jerryg79]

im gonna have to start a thread somewhere for the misuse of words i see and hear up here at work. for example - today my boss was filling out an accident report (for a wasp sting at that) and it had two fields - one was for race, the next for ethnicity. why you need seperate, i dont know, but it did. he got the race part right but the second part, the choices were hispanic, native american, and other. the guy is very white. prob irish. my boss looks at me, and in all seriousness says "lance is gonna be native american right?" then he goes on asking my why there isnt a chioce for american etc.

another example - one of the mechanics up here was writing up a car after a storm a while back and wrote that it had "hell damage on the roof and hood." i cant make this **** up.

my boss also says "ideal" EVERY time he is trying to say "idea"

also i have three names, my boss calls me set, his boss calls me zeth, and the aforementioned mechanic calls me "steph"

i just remembered the best one to date. we hired a new guy named JP a while back. well one day he pissed off the same mechanic, we'll call him David. David mutters to someone "i know what JP stands for: Giant *****." really. that just happened. so now he just calls him JPenis.

You referring to David Stallings? i think he has a few screws loose... on the good side, he is the only one that said he would work on busses when it was discussed to move those mechanics over there. the rest of the "vatos" over there said that it was too much work, parts were too heavy, we got too dirty, blah, blah, blah....

who is your boss and your boss's boss?

there used to be a mechanic there(whose name escapes me right now) that was a serious klepto. anyway, we were at his "retirement" party and his son wanted to stand up and say a few words. he went on and on about how much his dad loved working up there. literally repeated the same thing over and over and over. towards the end he says "my dad loves his job so much, he takes the fastest route home in the evenings..." WTF? takes the fastest route away from work....definitely loves his job.

this same mechanic is the same one that said all of the following:
1) Chuck Norris landed his helicopter in the back lot to pick him up for lunch.
2) His kids bought him a 6x6 H1 for his birthday one year.
3) He was driving his wrecker around one day and the person driving behind him was on his ass for miles. finally he got tired of it and lowered the sling on the wrecker, picked up the front of the car, and drove around for a while. all of this while driving down the road.

Possibly one of the best ones about this guy is that he had ~6 kids. the last one was half black. oh yeah.... his wife never cheated on him... :laughing: :laughing: ...kid was a miracle of nature... :gigem:


i could go on and on....

Yes I remember that book, it sucked. In addition I was the one who miscalculated, thus being why you should never trust rebar made from 2003 to 2006 or pipe from 2006 to present.

[KrazyKarl02]

how's ohio?
I am in the Beaumont of Ohio.

Seriously, instead of Ford Park (Beaumont) they have the Chevrolet Center (Youngstown).

Instead of Lamar they have Youngstown state, which is equally ****ty

It is amazingly white trash, the people talk like yankee hicks instead of the Beaumont redneck hicks.

In closing they do have bars with alcohol in them. And The Holiday Inn has HBO!

[Seth]

Steven - i think you are talking about roger. ive only heard stories. including how he came to work dirtier than some left.

I am talking about stallings - i like the guy, it does get old how he always wants to know what you are doing, makin sure you know that he is doin more, and no one else does anything. he can make some **** work, if its a lawn mower, gator, etc etc, he will make it run. spelling is just not his strong suit - and he will tell you that straight up.

my boss is ken, and his boss is don (philips). you would love it, wayne comes over all the time and calls me by my alias's. he gets a big kick out of it.

yeah i know don, he came over just before my last semester there. and no, hes not good with names. you would think he could remember the correct names of the few people he manages.

[crain_christoph]

As far as the SAS that would be cool but I dont have the money and sure as the hell dont have the knowledge for something like that. And there aint nothing wrong with my grammar. ***

[FJAggie07]

Rowdy, meet your new best friend.

[Reckless]

He has to be better than Booby or what ever his name is. Your thread has been offically HIJACKED!

[Seth]

ah dont worry crain, there just so happens to be a guy here who has done the swap - took no time!

[Eckert]

so mazda. would that be a toy axle swap? or a F&R swap full width, waggy, etc?

[crain_christoph]

Now your starting to get over my head as far as the axle swap goes and what would be the best for my situation. Im guessing toy, because this is my DD and will remain that way till I win the lottery or graduate?? About how long would a SAS take?? Which would you do for your DD, Full Width or Toy?? And as far as the guy who is worried about my grammar, I was valedictorian of my high school class graduated with a 3.99 on a 4.0 scale. Im sorry I didnt use perfect grammar, I didnt realize I was turning this in for a grade.

3.99 SHEESH, can't you do better than that?!? Valedictorian and you came to A&M good god man. couldn't you have picked a better school! :flipoff2:

I am just fawking with you man, but if you are going to learn to talk on a forum it helps to understand you. If the truck is your daily driver I wouldn't do an SAS. Also they are kind of fawking with you about the SAS because of a previous member...

with credentials like that, i would sport my letter jacket and high school ring till at least the age of 30.

umm unless you were valedictorian, you should only wear it until your 25, otherwise you just look like a doosh. :rolleyes:

[FJAggie07]

I was going to come back with a great smartass whip and I thought, hmm this guy is a newbie just like I was a year ago and don't want him to have to take the same **** I took from Jerry and Grayson and Jimmy and every other old guy here popping viagra and geritol at night. I thought I have been in his shoes and man it sucks being badgered by the e-thugs... and then a light shone from the heavens above and a loud booming voice said something that I will never forget....












F*ck em if they can't take a joke. :flipoff2:

[agjohn02]

blah blah blah blah blah..


you better start typing your posts up in word and running spell check on them. then print them out and have a few friends proof read them before you post.


newbs dont get automatically bashed around here. you gotta give us a reason first. your style is very unTAMORish. the only reason jerry and jimmy stepped into this one is his defensive posture was very chadnuts/fjaggie-esque.

[crain_christoph]

F*ck em if they can't take a joke. :flipoff2:[/QUOTE]



I agree its just nice to know they guy behind the jokes, instead of taking **** from some guy you dont know. Dont get me wrong I have my fair share of smartass comments and jokes but the first thing I thought was
"I dont know even know this guy and he is already talking ****".

[jerryg79]

i have made no attacks to any newbs this year, they dont seem to be such dooshes this year....now last year :flipoff2:

[jerryg79]

We'll be in Friday night, through Sunday afternoon. Only have one thing we have to do for sure. Call me.

[crain_christoph]

No its something about a self aligning clutch or some BS i didn't understand. There is two different stock types and i dont know what mine is. They said i would have to take it off to find out.
