thats about where i am now. i agree with above, my slave cylinder/ clutch master cylinder should not be the issue as they worked before and i havent disconnected any fluid lines or anything.
so the best that we (chris and joe from marlin, plus myself) could figure is that its b/c my motor is not the original motor, its an older one. according to them older 22re's use a larger 9 5/16 fly wheel. my 88 22re uses a smaller 8 7/8" flywheel. so when i went to toyota with my vin number they gave me a revised part number for a pressure plate for an 88 style 22re. well, my motor is "from an older toyota pickup" according to the PO. so its our assumption that its not working because it has the larger 9 5/16 fly wheel on it.
so its not really toyotas fault cause they can only go by what the vin number says.
anyways to remedy this problem, i opted for the "no way in hell its going to be wrong" approach. i ordered marlins 1200 # clutch kit for 8 7/8" fly wheels and a new 8 7/8" flywheel.
im going to pull it apart one last time.
now i know everything in there will be made to work together.
with this plus all the other parts i threw at this thing, i REALLY shouldnt have to open it up for another 300k miles!!
thanks for the help fellas!!!
ps. always measure you shiz!
