Sir Sam Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Decided to pop my head underneath and see if I could figure out if it was an issue with my slave or linkage or lines or whatever. Noticed something right off the bat, transmission and engine are articulating at the mating line of the engine and trans when the clutch is depressed. So I figured, I gotta get a video of this, it may be greasy, and it may be hard to see, but the gap you see moving there is the engine and transmission moving closer and further apart, they should be firmly bolted together. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There's a bellhousing in that video? All I see is a big glob of oil and dirt that seems to be moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It's Alive. Looks like it is breathing. Would think your missing some bolts or they are just loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya and the one blob of oil and dirty is the bellhousing, and the other blob is the engine. It's Alive. Looks like it is breathing. Would think your missing some bolts or they are just loose. Yup, pretty obvious that they are at least loose, I never got back enough back to see if they were missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had this happen to me years ago, thought the pilot bushing was going out. Loctite the bolts and snug them up, solved the issue for me. Mine was so bad that the flywheel ring-gear teeth were starting to eat into the inspection cover and starter teeth! All is good now though.
