i've pulled off a couple of fc transmissions and put back on 1. we just did my homeboys corolla's clutch last night. corolla's are easier! you dont need to remove the exhaust on those! lol. i would help but no gas to get over there lol.

Can't be the clutch, it has less than 10k miles on it. It was recently installed around last year in august/july. But who knows, some things just go wrong.

rotary_bünta 08-24-09 10:07 PM

i just got done from under tha car. its the drive shaft. it broke in half at the place where the bolts connect and make it one.

sooooo, where can i get one? and does anyone wanna help me? never done this before.

RotoricanNY 08-24-09 10:24 PM

I've seen a base model in the junkyard, i think it still had hers on.

rotary_bünta 08-25-09 12:11 AM

^^ where at? if i can practice removing it from the yard; will make it easier on me when i do it on my car.

thanks

Battle Cat 08-27-09 10:14 PM

how the hell did that happen?!??!?!?!

Battle Cat 08-27-09 10:16 PM

did you hit something?!??! i know i had the car low.. but oh damn

socalrotor 08-27-09 10:20 PM

It doesn't look twisted up... WTF man?!

Battle Cat 08-27-09 10:30 PM

^ thats what im saying

iLikeEatPoo 08-27-09 10:32 PM

I doubt it's from being too low. I don't remember to clearly but I'm pretty sure the drive shaft it above the lowest part of the body so it wouldn't be able to be hit by any scrapes. possible flying rocks and such could hit it but I doubt it would do any damage to a metal drive shaft.

rotary_bünta 08-27-09 10:37 PM

nah.. didnt hit a damn thing..

there is a metal sheet that is between the exhaust and drive shaft so nothing could have hit it.. just broke at the U bend part.. the other piece is MIA.. so i dunno..
