[QUOTE="Goldmember, post: 1309140, member: 9840"] [SIZE=5]UPDATE... I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS............ [SIZE=3]So, the car is halfway through the clutch replacement. TOB was toast, disc and pressure plate looked fine. Lots of meat left. What could the problem be? To the right of the passenger-side exhaust manifold a 5 to 6" section of the frame rail is rotted through. It would fail the "screwdriver poke test" with flying colors. Then, there's no telling how far in either direction that rail is rusting from the inside... I'm at a total loss. Sink all that $ into a clutch job just to find out that, were this visible, the car wouldn't pass inspection. Needless to say, I'm thinking it's not worth it to drop the K to get to this area of the frame, and any thought of keeping the car is pretty much out the window. When I trade it in, I'll be sure to tell you all where I did. That way, you'll know to avoid it.[/SIZE] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
