My 96' 4wd manual was grinding when I switch into 3rd and into 2rd from 3rd. Recently decided to replace the original clutch. Last year I replaced the engine block with an oe japanese 98' engine block($900, 15k miles). I know I should have replaced the clutch then, but just didn't.
I just bought a Valeo 52365205 OE Replacement Clutch Kit from Amazon for $141, and now need to replace.
Any tips or advice will be much appreciated.
I have a manual trans with 321,000 on the original clutch and I just KNOW that time is coming from me, sadly! From what I've read from other owners with manual gear boxes, the motor and gear box must be removed together, so I may just have to save up and pay someone to do that for me...
