Well, I previously said "Fuck broreally's and vatozone for difficult to access parts."
Sure enough, my brother's '99 suffered a failure due to their cheap china parts that are assembled by a starving 8 year old kid in a sweat shop.
I installed the new steeda quadrant, cable, and firewall adjuster a few minutes ago. We put this in just to eliminate the easy things first (For those of you who don't know, it had a bad chirping sound and the thing wouldn't go into gear....after having a new throwout bearing and pilot bearing installed)
Once it was put in and adjusted, the thing sounded healthy, and the chirping greatly reduced. I took it on a test drive around the "country" block (about 1 mile). Suddenly, the poor transmission screamed "RAPE!!!" and red hot bearings came jingling out of the clutch fork hole....
The car was not going into gear and it sounded horrible, so I pushed in the clutch....it was useless. Pieces of the throwout bearing kept falling out, so I started the car up in gear and granny shifted home.
The end.

The only way to replace a throwout bearing on a mod motor with BBK LT headers is to pull the motor...correct?
