Hey guys,
I drive a 2007 Mazda 3 GT manual. The clutch fork is broken and needs replacement. The mechanic I took it to said that Mazda released a redesigned clutch fork and as such the release bearing and bolts need to be replaced to fit the new clutch fork. This requires the transmission to be taken out and we all know the crazy cost of taking out transmission!
Question is, if I were to find the original clutch fork somewhere (not the redesigned one) does transmission still need to be taken out to replace the fork? Would you know how I can find the part number for the clutch fork of 2007 Mazda 3?
I also read in a few places that if I'm taking out transmission might as well replace the clutch. Is this true for a 2007 car with about a 100,000 KM?
Any advice is appreciated!
