Project 6.0L Sedan

[D_Eclipse9916]

So last night tackled pulling JUST the trans out. After 30 minutes of headscratching on how to get this one bolt (which was my concern), we blindly got a socket on it with a deep socket 15mm, 2 3-inch extensions, 1 1-foot extension, 2, 6-inch extensions, a flex head ratchet and one u-joint. Once that was out, it was not really bad at all to pull the trans out just itself.



After pulling it out, I unbolted the slave and as it tipped over, brake fluid poured out of the slave, from what I assume is the seal between the slave and TOB.


With how mcuh grime there was in there. I have to assume there was a small leak for a while, as the interior of the bellhousing was COVERED in grime/combination of clutch disc dust and brake fluid. F***ing A. Went against my philosophy if something works, dont mess with it.

I then pulled the clutch out to see if any fluid was on it. And although its hard to tell the real wear on the clutch disc (since there are 3 clutch discs in a triple plate), it looks like it has seen better days. I don't know if the material is like brake pads where the edges can crumble and its no biggie or not. Contacting Spec this morning.
