Does anyone out there have an extra clutch release lever laying around, or a spare manual transmission laying around you can remove a clutch release lever from. Ive got an 04 with a manual trans and my clutch release lever is bent and no one in north america sells it, I cant even get it from GM.if it may help, the part number from GM (even though they cant get one) is 96144874. I am DESPARATE
USED MANUAL 5 SPD TRANSMISSION AVEO SWIFT WAVE | eBay
see it on here? offer him some money for it.. its been for sale for 2 years.
Wow, must not be too many of them going out then, that's a good sign. How did you bend your clutch release lever?
I have no clue how it bent. I was out driving 2 weeks ago and the clutch pedal would only go halfway down, I had to force it down further to be able to shift so I could get home. When I remove the old clutch and pressure plate, the finger on the pressure plate were messed up, Im guessing the pressure plate fingers binded and extra pedal pressure bent the lever.
petrified, thanks for that tip, I emailed the seller
I heard back from the guy with the ebay listing, he said he wont part it out, a company I found in china that has the lever after a few emails back and forth finally said my quantity is too small they wont do business with me.
email precisionboost, i believe he may have a few transmissions (or anyone from daewootech) that would be able to help out.
thanks petrified, Im not a member on daewootech, but I will log in later when I get a chance (Im at work, weve been running 15 to 20 hours a day this week) and see if anyone there can help me out. This is getting rediculous all over a $15 partQuote:

Glad to hear it.
I hate to say it but, I think I am going to put a for sale sign in the window of my Aveo once I get the lever in and drive the aveo away from work.
NOOOOOO!!!!! don't sell it! Just think of how many more booms you can pack in such a small sweet car....Besides does your aveo have the magic words "it's paid for?" I think your incident was super rare and other than that the car is cheap and relatively easy to fix.
We are both selling our aveos and buying fits to street race bruh, or at least that is my dream...
Good to see you finally got the part, rare as hell that is for sure.
I paid cash for my Aveo 3 years ago. my plan is to sell the Aveo, and pay cash for a 96/97 Toyota 4runner, its time for something a little bigger. Ive already got some planning going into the possible purchase of a 4runner LOL. Up until this random event, overall the Aveo has never let me down. Honestly, if I had the extra cash to get the 4runner, without selling the Aveo, I would love to keep it.
Staying late after work today to get the release lever installed. if all goes well, my aveo will be on craigslist tomoroow for $4000
Paul, sorry to see the aveo go, but in case of family a 4-runner is bigger. Good luck with your sale.
should be able to get $4000
Adding my own flavor to the aveo over the last 3 years has been fun (too an extent LOL). Ive already got plans for the 4runner I want to get. im looking at 96 to 04 4runners, aside from my stereo going in immediately, first on the todo list is an 01 through 04 Tacoma front clip. it will give the 4runner a more aggressive look and will just bolt right up, and its a little under $300 for everything minus paint.
XintersectY, anyluck mounting that spoiler yet?
trans is out of the car, old clutch lever compared to new clutch lever, the old lever is twisted by about 10 degrees
pictures..
sub'd..................
i didnt even think of taking pics, I definately should have. Sorry guys, and gals. now im on to a new problem. Cant seem to get the air out of the system, did a manual bled, also did a power flush on the clutch system.Quote:

Good idea petrified, just recommended that idea to another tech that I work with, and you could see that I light bulb lit up with his thought proccess LOL. Ive done clutched and transmissions in the past but Ive never dealt with replacement parts in the hydraulic system of a clutch, learn something new every day LOLQuote:
