So the hydraulic clutch is keeping pressure on the fork and the throw-out bearing (U.S. slang for clutch release bearing?) or thrust bearing is always running against the fingers on the pressure plate, is that the problem? And of course it burns out the bearing rather quickly?
You will have to examine all the parts, the slave cylinder and it's shaft, the fork and it's pivot point. Something in there not allowing the bearing to pull back far enough from the pressure plate so that it stops rotating. Is your pedal adjusted right? Maybe start there-the pedal has to allow a fraction of free play. Otherwise it is always putting pressure on the hydraulics.

SOURCE: transmision .

I do believe that is the Mitsubishi, I agree that the Library would be your best bet. the haynes manual I am looking at doesn't go into detail however. You may need to get a Bentley manual.

The clutch, now there's a good question. the real question is.... Do you want to pull it again after all this work... Ya didn't think so.. the parts rill run around 220 for pressure plate, and disc. Replace the slave cylinder also as they love to fail..

I can add this hint. If you are on the ground doing this, to replace the tranny use two tie down straps across the frame and under the tranny lift with a jack but support with the straps. this makes lining it up a breeze and if a 4WD you can even attach the transfer case and rear mount.. made it super easy for me... I did it by myself in under an hour..but I was stupid first I replace the slave cylinder then a year later the pressure plate. I then replaced the slave cylinder a second time... Hey 40 bucks was cheap...

SOURCE: 99 f550 cluch will not

You should be able to remove a cover or inspection plate at the bottom of the ****** bell housing to inspect and visually see the throw out bearing. It sound like it (the throw out bearing) completely went out or damaged the fingers it rests on to disengage the pressure plate. All clutches are pretty much the same. Flywheel bolts to the rear of the crankshaft with a pilot bearing in the center for the input shaft. The clutch disk is sandwiched between the flywheel and retained in place by the pressure plate. Followed by the throw out bearing which is operated by the release fork. You could have a bad slave cylinder, but that would not be the source for the squealing you hear. Sounds like it's time to replace the clutch assembly.

Can you change clutch plate without removing the engine?

normally you remove t6he transmission to change clutch and pressure plates
is it necessary to replace the clutch plate at all as many slipping clutches can be attributed to faulty hydraulic clutch master cylinders and broken clutch cables
may be if you commented using make , model , type of equipment and symptoms of the problem so that we can get a better idea on how to advise you

I'm replacing the clutch. I have removed all the bolts and separated the the housing slightly but cannot totally separate the two. I'm thinking I may be missing a step.

in the same area of the bolt wholes there will be dowels sometimes the gearbox just needs to be pryed to seperate also make sure the driveshafts are completely removed from the gearbox shift cables and hydraulic line is removed mountings are removed completely out of the gearbox way.sometimes the loom or water hoses routed over the gearbox can restrict and its common for the cv joint flange on the gearbox differential to hook on the metal shim plate thats sandwiched between the engine and gearbox

Can i just simply convert the hydraulic steering gear of my 1996 nissan pickup to manual steering without changing my hydraulic steering gearbox?

Well, you can just unhook the hydraulic, but what you'll have is just the same as you'd have if the steering pump belt broke or if the pump lost its oil: really stiff steering.

If this is OK with you then it'll work fine. If it's too stiff then you'll want to change the gearbox.

Cluch will not release pressure plate will not release cluch disk

Many possible causes.
If it's hydraulic clutch - air in the system.
Broken spring on pressure plate.
Warped clutch disc.
Cracked clutch folk.
If hydraulics ok , transmission has to come out for the rest of it.

Gearbox

you cant ,its done from underneath with the correct computer software ,if it works leave well ,no leaks?' then it doesnt need topping up .Dont play with it ,the oil will last forever and never needs changing because it doesnt get dirty ,its only hydraulic oil which doesnt have any viscosity additives like poly meythyl methacralate.Yes dealer might say it needs changing but thats only to boost their income.

Where is slave cylinder for clutch on 1994 Isuzu pickup 2.3 litre

To determine which type of clutch you have, servo hydraulic or cable.
Look down past the engine bell housing and determine the existance of a hydraulic clutch slave cylinder.(a piece of casting with a rod facing towards the rear of the vehicle pocket into a bracket protruding out of the gearbox bell housing. As well as a pipe and bleed nipple to be crude)
(which I believe you have).The hydraulic fluid for this unit is sourced from the brake master cylinder reservoir via a sneaky pipe partially obscured to the clutch master cylinder on the internal firewall.If you have no clutch slave cylinder near the bell housing there would be an obvious bounden cable running from the firewall down to the outer of which will be stopped at a bracket hanging off the engine.The inner will continue to a bracket protruding from the gearbox bell housing.

My 405 diesel est gearbox

no you should not have to change the flywheel they were all the same - but as the cable and clutch fork operate differently you would be advised to check this

one anchors the cable outer and the inner cable moves the clutch fork
the other the inner cable is anchored and the outer sheath moves the clutch fork

also while you have it all off change the clutch thrust bearing
and be careful of the plastic speedo drive housed in the output of the diff it doesnt take much to break it (drive shaft going in at a slight angle)
