snip.... I took the transaxle out today, and the throw out bearing is fine & still attached with the clip to the clutch arm. Does the car being a pushbutton, aluminum flywheel, dash 1 have anything to do with it?Thanks!!
Yes- definately. On aluminum flywheels, the flange that attaches to the crank is thgicker to gain some strength back. On a few alum flywheels I've seen, the extra thickness pushes the clutch surface closer to the tranny. To fix, remove the hydraulic bellcrank and move it a few splines, then reattach.
