Manual transmission help

So clutch, pressure plate and flywheel are still new, even the pressure plate and flywheel still have the machining grooves.

From what ive been reading youre supposed to install the clutch plate backwards, fat side towards the flywheel. Mine was wrong, fat side towards the trans. Possibly why it failed and possibly why my throw out bearing was always running, since I bought the truck, always thought that was weird. Also wondered why my clutch would only disengage on the very floor, even if the floor mat got under the clutch pedal it wouldnt disengage.

Skinny side up towards flywheel


Markings on pressure plate say 2019 and the part number is a autozone duralast clutch. Shame it was installed wrong. Probably would of went a really long time. I have 100-120k on it and its still like new. Although the throw out bearing and pilot are probably garbage.

Sucks im going to put a new clutch in when this is still new.

 

Just as a side note, I dont know what throwout bearing comes with the Aisin kit, but you think I should use that one or the SKF one I have coming?

 

Asin Kit should be pretty good.
Good to know you have it almost back together. I'm up in Fort Collins and have done my clutch before.

 

Thank you. Got it. Back up and running.

 

I ended up jacking the front like you said. Wood under the front of the oil pan. It def helped. Thanks
