To me when i was under it, looked like it was broke and then they grinded off the end. But they also might of cut it themselves to lighten the pedal. It does have a HD pressure plate in it so pedal is very heavy. I have no idea how the woman before me even drove it. I guess at least now I get to see the clutch and what shape it's in when I replace this.

So diagnosis is just order a new 99-04 Clutch fork? This car was an auto stock, does that matter? I ordered the adjustable Firewall Clutch cable from American Muscle.

Thanks. After getting off an email conversationw with Tremec he said it was the wrong clutch fork. BTW their service is bar none. I emailed them and had a response within 20 minutes.

Update:

I got the Clutch fork Swapped out. Here are some pictures of the work. Car shifts amazingly (for the 8 miles I drove it), did a Stock Cable, Firewall adjuster and new clutch fork. Next up is getting my 18's in and install my CJ pony springs. Now we I am just counting down the days till spring and I can get it out.

Keep us up-to-date on that TKO-600, when my 3650 gives up (or before that if I get ambitious) I would like to get the TCET5008 spec TKO with the 2.87:1 1st gear.

I find that even with my modest mods, and 3.73s, the 3650's 3.38:1 first gear is too low...
