Toyota Repair: clutch repair, clutch replacement, clutch repair


Question
We have a 2004 Toyota Camry SE - 5 spd manual 2.4L.  Approx. 119,000 KM.  We recently had the clutch repaired and they also repaired the water pump.  Due to all it involved to replace the clutch assembly it became very lengthy and expensive.  When we picked it up though the right front ABS sensor is now faulty and they ordered a new one saying this is not related to what they did and will now cost us more.  Long story I know but could this be related to the repairs we had done??

Answer
The answer to that question is yes, simple logic tells you that if the abs sensor was not a problem before but now is a problem it's likely that something happened to it during the clutch replacement, I have seen this many times when the axles were removed and the lower suspension arm and the steering knuckle is dropped down, if the abs sensor mounting bracket is not removed from the inner fender well the wire will be stretched and break internally.
