Clutch replace/rebuild
 

Ughh. The day I've been dreading finally came. Was mowing when the old 108 started vibrating and I noticed my clutch pedal was no longer functional. The disc is kaput too.

This is not a job I relish taking on. What do I need to know before I start?

Pull the Tunnel Cover and do an assessment. Snap some pictures and maybe we can help from here.

Oh golly gosh. That looks like a lot of work for someone who hates mechanical work and isn't all that good at it. Thanks for posting. Looks like I might have an uncut lawn 2 years in a row. Thankfully I got it cut short before this years mechanical disaster hit.

I do rebuild clutch assemblies.

Do you do it for charity cases? :bigthink:

That job ain't all that bad just gotta pay attention to the details like worn out clutch actuation parts and grooved shaft, etc

Well for some reason I thought I needed to take the engine out to remove the clutch assembly...so I disconnected wires and cables, removed the gas tank and starter....and fortunately found out in the nick of time that I do not need to remove the engine.

That's OK, because I found some other things that need to be addressed. I'm relieved I don't need to remove it. Once I get the assembly out I'll decide whether I want to fix it myself, get it rebuilt, or shoot myself. :bash2:
