Where did the sleeve on the input shaft come from?

 

maybe its whats left of the throwout bearing?

 

Throwout bearings, at least for the TII and NA RX7 transmissions are not that long. Unless my depth perception is off.

 

I don't think that's part of the throw out bearing.......

 

I know but what else could it have came from?

 

That appears to be broken off from an E-shaft

 

Did it come off a running car like that? Theres no way that was on there with a stock fc clutch

 

It looks like part of the transmission front cover broke off.

 

That piece is off the tranny, It cant be the e-shaft theres no way.

 

I'll be honest with you man. That part of the tranny looks messed up!

 

That is a piece of the transmission front cover that broke off. Its purpose is to give the throw out bearing a shaft to slide on.

looks liek the condom broke....now your gonna have little transmissions popping outta your motor.

 

Its from the front cover. the throw out bearing rides on it. See the jagged edge around the input shaft? That's where it came from. It can be fixed no problem with a new or used piece.

 

Ah YES! the t/o bearing does slide on that part

 

Alright, so that transmission is shot then, right?

 

No. You can replace that part via the bolts in the bellhousing.

The question is, how did this happen, and what other damage occurred?

 

its actually quiet easy to fix.... i would imagine it happened from a bad throwout bearing and it jammed on the shaft, than when the clutch was pushed it kinda bent a broke if that make sense

 

Does the input shaft have tons of play (bad bearing)? Or did the flywheel/clutch explode. There is no reason that should ever break.

 

eric i want to c pics of ur car, tim said its pretty nice little tin can

 

That is EXACTLY what it is you will have to buy the transmission front cover is what it is called.. I just sold one to my buddy about 2 weeks ago for his Datsun 240Z when u install the new one just put some sil-glide on the shaft NOT antiSLEEZE

btw it broke due to age.. I mean there is pressure on that and if it gets hot, or if your disc is throwing alot of dust it could be getting clogged on the throwout bearing and it caused it to get tough to push in and then snap off the nose..

 

thanks for the laugh citrus.

I wanted to say throwout bearing but it was too long. So how'd you break it?

 

I'm not sure how it broke, someone local is selling it for $25. I'm going to go ahead and buy it and install the new front cover.

Is that front cover the same on a NA Transmission?

I'm buying this for my new corolla.

 

That's hilarious!

It's the front cover of the transmission (the "snout").

You can probably just replace the front cover and seal as long as the input shaft is still OK.

 

well theres your problem! See, the whatchyamacallit is chipped! Is this a guessing game? Was it a strange multi-plate clutch gone real bad?
