BUT i did see this spacer on it. thats what i thought caused the problem of not going into gears... any advice? i need a new bell housing too, anyone have one for sale? https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...9e00e258370287a2273ba0f6&oe=5C56876C[img] https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...c504bca15e83268e1a144541&oe=5C508A96[/img] | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | Good luck, oldmemoriescc
Ask questions, as you did, in this forum. You will get lots of opinions, and, if you/we are lucky, you might get good advice here.

LOL.
How about the input shaft pilot bearing? Looks a little crusty. If that seized up, it wouldn't let the clutch disengage. I guess you can check that when you take it back apart to fix/replace the bell housing.
If you didn't get the disk lined up with the pilot bearing on reassembly, that would cause the input shaft to hang up and cause what happened to the bell housing.
