And another bellhousing bites the dust :(

Well I've went threw 2 bellhousings in less than a yr. well it's not the bellhousing breaking it's the part the Throw Out Bearing rides on. Any one have any idea why these POS keep breaking? I am gunna get a Turbo bellhousing next and put it on my N/T tranny.

Are you lubing up that little part of the bellhousing when you put the throw-out bearing on it? Maybe excessive friction is causing it to crack.

Have any pictures? I can show you some of my bellhousing that just got ate by the clutch...

yes I lubed it up really well, I haven't taken the tranny out yet but the reason I know it broke again is b/c when ya go to take off slow it just starts hunching and thats the samething it done before.

non turbo parts will not fit in a turbo bellhousing

I have been told by numerous ppl they will.

I have been told by numerous ppl they will.

The internals are different, and I believe that is it. The bell housing should work but I dont see that fixing the problem. you need to find out why it is breaking. Is the flywheel possibly off balance? You should not be going through bell housings,seeing how there is nothing in there to cause it to happen. If you are,something else is wrong causing something to hit or rub it.

Well the first one I know how it happened, It looked to me like the TOB sepearted into 3 pieces and dug down on the shaft the TOB rides on. I dunno bout this one yet b/c it's my only car and I gotta get the stuff rounded up so I can have it done as soon as I tear it apart so I have some wheels.

As for the internals I dunno i have been told diff things about them.

will a 90 FWD tranny work in a 93?
