My clutch has finally began to slip on me. I am hoping it will last until spring break, end of March, so I have plenty of time to swap it out, along with changing my timing belt. I have been reading on the idea of modifying the transmission case for better oiling of the 5th gear. Would this be a good time to do it? I mean, how far does the transmission need to be pulled in order to do the clutch? If I am pulling it back far enough to do the swap is it much more difficult to drop it to drill the case? Is a new 5th gear cover gasket required or is it re-usable?
I am figuring on spending about $1000 of my tax return. I do not want to go much more than that as it was all supposed to go towards paying my house down to the point I can put it on the market to sell. As it is the $1000 is pushing the envelope, but it is needed maintenance.
