2.4 Liter G4CS build - Tranny Problems

[Atuca]

Well with news my engine is going to be done this week from the machine shop, I had to start spending some cold nights out in the garage.

I started working on my Tranny and shifting assembly. I started by jb welding the rollerskate bearings together. I went ahead and did all 8 and figure I will either sell them or have them laying around as a DSM gift to a DSM buddy who helps me out (shoulda thought of little gifts like that as stocking stuffers)

Now I remember when I pulled my tranny off seeing small scratches in the bell housing. Well I figured since I was trying to put my tranny back on with the engine still in the car during my clutch swap, I am 100% sure I scratched it some trying to force it on there from under the car. But last night as I tried to start cleaning up the tranny, I noticed some of the black grime wasn't just dirt.

It looks like part of the retaining clip/washer holder/throwout bearing assembly was completely destroyed. The washer behind the throw out bearing was also damaged, it has huge gashes in it probably from little chunks of metal being stuck there. I wonder if that has anything to do with my clutch never feeling the same as the first week I drove it, and being squishy. I don't think I caused any permanent damage, but it is hard to imagine the only thing that happened were a few scratches; I am sure it could have been alot worse. If anyone knows that the part numbers for any of these pieces or what they are called, please let me know.

Besides that, I discovered the bearing in my ebay short shifter crapped out on me. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but I don't think it is fixable and will probably end up having to buy another one. Just one more thing that is gonna cost me money

I noticed in the title you said the G4CS is identical to the standard 6 bolt except for the taller deck. Just wanted to let you know, the bore is also bigger, the 4G63 is 85mm and the G4CS or 4G64 is 86.5 I believe.

Off the top of my head I can't remember the bore size difference, but I know I'm having mine machined out to 87mm. Wonder if that means I have a 2.45l than

If I recall correctly bore doesn't affect displacement, but I could be wrong.

Do you really not know the names of the pieces in the first picture?

Black thing on left - clutch fork
Black boot in top center - clutch fork boot
Wire clip in top right - throw out bearing clip
Circular thing on right - throw out bearing
Thing destroyed in center - no idea

I would recommend getting a new clutch fork, fulcrum ball, OEM throw out bearing, and tob clip. The boot can be cleaned up and reused.

The broken thing in the center looks to just be a part of the throwout bearing that has broken off.

^ Yep, I'd probably agree with that.

Ok I knew the fork and the throw out bearing, I even stated that in my post didn't I? WHY YOU SO MEAN TO ME BRIAN!!!!

its the big washer that is sitting on top of the throw out bearing, the brass circular thing the clip connects to I don't know the names to. Was it a complete circle or am I finding parts to other ones that have broken?

I don't remember getting a new "throw out bearing washer" when I got my new OEM throw out bearing, I don't think it is part of the unit.

However, when I did my clutch a year back I didn't change out the clutch fork or the falcrum ball or w/e it is called. Perhaps I should this time while I got it all open and I know what I am doing (ok just know a little bit more)

It is part of the T/O bearing, you need a entire new bearing.
