MTX transmission

[d2freak82]

have a 92 sho, the arm where the throw out bearing attaches there was a pin in there holding it... it's sheered off, what can I use and should I just drill it out?

I can take a pic if needed

its only there to retain the TOB upon trans installation... you dont need it.

Ya its not really required for anything once the tranny is installed. Its just there so the TOB doesn't fall off during installation. You can use a very small cable tie or even a piece of string to do the same job.

if that's the case... what does the arm do? if it's not attached to the throw out bearing in anyway?
I mean that would just leave the throwout bearing to sit there and the arm to do just move without it?

it pushes the TOB into the clutch. the PP automatically pushes it away from the TOB when released.

I'll look at it again but doesn't seem like it can push it if it's not even attached to it.... but if I recall on the factory one it was just a black plastic piece, but it looks like it's metal broke off inside the arm

PICTARS HELP. Otherwise, if youre worried about it, buy one.

buy what? lol

I just had to look at it sorry I didn't see how that could push it in, but after looking again I understand.... and the tranny is in now.... lined up great
