I have the daunting job of clearing out my interior and cutting my tunnel open to repair the clutch tube. Does anyone have tips on doing this job? Do the fuel lines need to be taken out? Humm.......maybe I should if they're still plastic.
I appreciate all your wisdom as I'm trying to gain some on my own. Thanks!! Steve |

it the tube is loose but the firewall is still OK this means the middle bracket is still intact. the front bracket is the first to break.
in this case i weld a 1"x1" L-bracket to the tube. this minor solution is quick . you only have to remove the shifter and dont need to mess with fuel ines. i still stuff a wet rag against them just in case did i mention remove clutch cable... Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Hello, today I finished off repairing my clutch tube by using a conduit clamp and ss sheet metal screw. Basically, I removed the center gauge components and took the three bolts off the shifter then moved it over to install the clamp.....piece of cake! It now shifts as it should be will have to rebuild the shifter itself down the road. Also, started to hear a throw out bearing noise that I'm sure will be alright like that for awhile until I swap over everything to the tub I'm working on. Thanks everyone for all your help.....I really appreciate it!! |
