My S13 pedal is stuck to the floor.
Now if i reach down and pull it back up it comes up but its hard to push it down and when it doesn go down it takes alot of force and it makes a loud grunt noise like something is breaking over and over again. Any sugeestions to check? my friend told me to check the slave cylinder but let me remind you before all of this everything was the smoothest ever.

 

the only things i could think off that would cause this would be a fault clutch fork, throw out baring, or pressure plate. either way the tranny needs to be dropped and inspected.

 

yeaup.

what he said...

 

okay so i got the motor and trans pulled i bought a motor from a recycling yard with a 7 month warranty and before they pulled it they showed it was running, i swap over manifolds and everything else like injectors, etc.....it was an automatic motor that i bought....now my problem is everything is okay but the pilot bearing are diff on the 2 and the manual pilot bearing looks smaller than the auto pilot bearing......im lost.

 

Yeah, buy a new pilot bearing and replace it. You should have had a new one with your clutch kit.

 

are we talking about the pilot bushing or the throwout bearing?

 

I have no idea...

i think the pilot bushing because auto doesnt have a throw out bearing

 

well this is an AUTO engine that im putting on a manual trans. but the pilot bushing looks bigger than the manual motor, and it wont come out either. but im gonna see if a earing puller will work to get it out and see if the new pilot bushing will fit in there. they just seem like 2 different sizes.

 

the one on the automatic engine is a pilot convertor, the one on the m/t engine is a pilot bushing.

 

yeah, they are different sizes. Pull the old one out.

 

ill take pics and show you all.....im liking the help though!

 

okay so this guy form performance autowerks of plainfield, illinois said that i can just cut the pilot bearing on the automatic motor and it will still work i will just get vibrations if this is true, why haven't i heard about this before?

 

no... you need to extract it and put a proper bushing in there. it takes all of 3 minutes with a slide hammer to remove the auto-bushing and install the manual bushing

 

Agreed. Pull the auto bushing out and install the manual bushing. the front tapered section of the manual transmission seats itself in the bushing. be sure to have it pushed in enough as far as it can go down the hole in the rear of the crankshaft too.
