  Q: How to remove the transaxle to replace the Clutch Release Bearing and access the Clutch Fork on Mitsubishi Galant?

  A:

  For release bearing replacement, it is best to repeatedly change the release bearing along with the clutch components as the removal of the transaxle is not easy. Start by removing the cable from the battery's negative terminal. Remove the transaxle next. Arrange the lever and bearing such that the lever is perpendicular to the input shaft. Remove the bearing from the lever by pulling the ends of the spring clip out of the holes in the Clutch Fork. Push the Clutch Fork away from the input shaft, disengaging it from the ballstud. Avoid using a screwdriver or prybar, as this may damage the spring clip. Remove the release bearing off the input shaft. To inspect a bearing, hold it by the outer race. While you apply pressure to the outer race of the bearing, rotate the inner race. If it does not rotate smoothly or is noisy, you need to replace it. It does not matter if the bearing looks fine or not. Clean the bearing and inspect for any damage, wear, and cracks, avoiding any immersion in solvent, which is sealed for life. Furthermore, check the Clutch Fork and fork for cracks or bends. Ensure the pivot ballstud and stud pocket in the release fork are clean. To install the Clutch Fork, apply a thin layer of high-temperature grease on the ends of the Clutch Fork, the inner diameter of the release bearing, and the input shaft. Replace the Clutch Fork and bearing on the transaxle.
