Yes, it could have been installed backwards. I don't think the transmission would bolt up afterwards, but hey, I've never installed a clutch backwards. lol.gif
If he is a mechanic, he should of bled the system properly. Make sure he bled it and he adjusted the clutch. These are simple things that a mechanic should know, but hey, some aren't that smart. Like Hyundai mechanics.

How hard do you think this will be for someone with almost no experience to do by just following directions? I already did my resonator removal, intake install, slave cylindar mod and reverse indaglo gauge install myself. I know none of it was a huge project or anything to brag about and didn't require much mechanical skill but still had to follow instruction and was able to find my way around the car without a hitch. Bottom line is that Rick won't refund or replace or pick up the bill on the extra labor and I can't afford to pay the mechanic for a third reassembly.
Or if anything, does anyone have a garage or shit, I'll settle for a drive way that I can borrow for a few hours. This is my last resort..lol....it's either that or I gotta get rid of it...this whole fiasco has already cost me over $4000

Re: Stuffed Clutch?!
The VHR clutch can NOT be installed backwards. If you put the disk in backwards it wont touch the flywheel. That would be pretty obvious!
BTW if you had more than just USA in your profile someone might be willing to help you out in your area.

Re: Official Member Listing of Crooked H
When you said that it wont go farther than 1/2 way enguaged.... does the pedel go all the way to the floor and the cluch still slips or the pedel will not go all the way to the floor? This info might help a lil.
From what I read, it seems like the pedel will not go all the way down. I would assume this has to do with the throw out berring. I wonder if the mechanic ever got it seated correctly.

From what I understand, it won't go all the way to the floor.

Well, Without actually seeing it, my guess would be that the throw out berring wasnt seated in the fork properly. If the mechanic you took it to could not figure out what was wrong, I suggest finding a new mechanic!
How far are you from philly? Also, is the car back together? (axles back in & all the motor mounts on)?

Pretty far and all hills...nowhere to do the work....Yea...it's all back together...that's why I keep getting charged...Every time he hits a snag he wants it off his lift so he puts it back together again.
