Dammit Dammit Dammit.
I was having a blast in my car last night... I bumped up the fuel about 20% past VTEC and it loved it!

Ballin around, beatup on a pair of Mustangs, and an S4 audi with a few mods...

On my way home at 11oclock, getting tired, I goose it pretty good at one red light about a mile from home.

Something Pops under the hood... Nothing seems affected, no smoke, no loss of power. I pull up to a stop sign... and the car won't come out of gear? SO I turn off the key, and the shifter works fine... CLutch issues AGAIN. I put it in first, and let the car pull itself cranking away. Float the gears home... FIZZUCK.

I pull out the pliers and turn away at the little black **** on the clutch adjuster and test it out from time to time, try to crank the car in first gear and see if it tries to pull itself around... I end up adjusting it alll the way to tighten the cable, pulling up on the cable arm on the tranny. No luck, still screwed... It doesn't seem to grab so badly when sitting still, but it also doesn't grab at all once the clutch pedal is let off of...

Ever have this problem? Any suggestions? I don't WANT to take the clutch out of my car AGAIN but I will if I have to this weekend... and I think I might have to

Dammit.

BTW, it's a ClutchNet Clutch... just over 600 miles on it. Worked fine, but with a completely different FEEL to it yesterday before that happened. It had a VERY light feel to it until the clutch started to grab, hte spring pressure got alot tighter at that instant.... now, it's fairly stiff all the way through the pedal sweep, but mushy feeling.

 

Last time I heard of this, a friend had broken the springs off the disc. The pressure plate was fine, but the disc was toast...

did you break the clutch in properly?

 

Got no speedo, so no milage readings, but I went through 3 tanks of gas without going over 6 k <which is a feat for me> No hard downshifting, an only got on the car with the clutch fully engaged, and rolled into the throttle...

If I broke the springs, I'm gunna be PISSED.

 

Sounds like a spring popped off the disc. I have heard of the same situation from a friend of mine.

 

slave cyl.?

 

Its a cable clutch in a 91 Si. No Hydraulics to mess with <WOOHOO! >

 

I have a feeling the spring is DEFINATLY the problem.. and I have a feeling your break in period had something to do with it. Springs don't usually do this... usually...
