Look at the attached picture........determine where you will need to cut an access hole in the tunnel (cut 3 sides of a "square" and fold up and out of the way. reweld the tube in place.......be very careful, there are fuel lines in there close by. After you have reattached the clutch tube bend the flap back over and reweld.......the clutch tube is the large one that goes furthermost toward the front of the tunnel. I have seen this problem repaired using the "no weld" method by using a screw down clamp over the loose tube, but requires a screw thru the floor....just not right IMO.

Thanks it looks like mine may have broke on that middle weld, will have to get a light and a mirror to be sure, but that pic really helps thanks. |
