hi guys. Ben here from Oz - issue still applies.

I have a 1992 hodna civic EG hatch , with a ZC engine stock. Took out clutch and transmission abotu 4 motnhs back to fix a ISB and a couopel of axle seals - noticed OEM clutch had hardly any material left on it at all - it was basically almost bare metal.
I decided to drive the car until major slippage occurs ....

Anyway, 3 months later and the car just feels like crap . Under load ( 3500+rpm) the engine/transmisson ( i can treally tell) makes a strange "Wobble" noise consitent with revs. The car will not pull at all and jsut feels sluggish and sloppy.

I do realise that my clutch is dead ( hasnt slipped majorly as yet) but this "wobble" symptom 100% affiliated with the clutch slipping or what not ?

*just being paranoid*
thanks guys

 

slipping clutch is when RPMS go up but car doesnt go anywhere..

I do realise this - my car is slightly slipping under load. MY question was IS this "wobbling" phenomemon affiliated with the clutch dying ?!?

any perspective- thanks.

 

the wobble could be either or both, the poilt bearing, or the throw out bearing making noise.

a few months ago, in my GSR i couldn't shift past 4K without grinding... under 3500 is was perfect. and at a stop, if i rolled forward, i could feel the clutch grabing, this is with the clutch pedal IN!

so i ordered a clutch, and all nessisary parts, and once i got into it, found out the clutch disk was broken internaly. plenty of clutch material, but the internal splins and frame was broken and wobbly.

you need a new clutch. and im sure your wobble would go away.

 

does the the "rpm's shooting up but you not going anywhere" always mean the clutch is bad.....or can it be the transmission as well??

a possablilty, if a particular gear doesnt have much of its teeth left after some serious high rpm grinding
