Archived from groups: alt>autos>fiero (more info?)
85 GT 6 cyl 64K miles I purchased this past summer.

Tonight when leaving work something went wrong with my clutch. At
first it was fine but my rear breaks were frozen so I gave it a little
more gas and a fast release of the clutch to try and unfreeze the
beeaks which did work. When getting ready to pull out onto the main
road it would not go into any gear so I had to double clutch it to get
it into first as I was pulling out onto the main road thats when I
noticed it was pushing to the floor very easy where before it took
alot of pressure to get it to the floor also it does not engage until
the petal is all the way up. There is enough fluid in the system and
no leaks also the pin pushing at the top appears to be moving fine so
my guess is either bent fork or bad pressure plate ?

I have replaced the clutch and all that in my 2m4 without removing the
engine just unbolt and slide to the side. What can I expect from the 6
cyl as I have no prior experiance with the 6 ?

Thanks
Hank

Different people use different methods, but since I have a lift I just drop
the cradle. My guess is you lost the throwout bearing or broke something in
the pressure plate.

I droped the cradle on my 2m4 I lifted the car off of it as I needed
to swap out the engine as the timeing gear busted I found that to be
more work then pulling it out the top which I also did the first time
to replace the crank and berings but that was the 4 cyl.

Link to how I lifter it up off the cradle and other stuff.

So I guess my question is will I be able to do the clutch work without
removing the engine "thru the top" or droping the cradle ?
On my 2m4 I could remove the clutch in 2 hours by unbolting the engne
and sliding it to the right side.
Thanks

I honestly don't know, I've never tried it, and to be honest, wouldn't. It
takes so little time to drop a cradle all the aggravation wouldn't be worth
it.
