Hey, can you tell me if my clutch is goin?? When i disengage the clutch in first gear i hear kind of like a grinding noise of metals. not like im grinding the gears but it just sounds like a faint grind. Thats the best i can explain it. If this is my clutch is the excedy clutch a good clutch and how much is intallation aprox.. just ballpark.. thanks alot

 

in which gears? Will it do it in neutral? Is it rpm dependant?

If it's like a scratching sound, but goes away everytime the clutch is disengaged, it's a very good chance that it's your throw out bearing.

 

To see if your clutch is Done do this. Go off cruising to going through the gears 1st and 2nd then crusing at 3rd gear leave it alone then without accelerating go through 4th and go to 5th gear and when you let go of the clutch at fifth gear if your car is shaking bad then you know the clutch needs to be replaced.

 

If it's a chattering as you go past the pressure point, it's definitely the springs on your clutch disc. If you drive 'til the springs pop out (they will eventually), you won't be able to get into gear.

The Excedy is a good clutch. The average installation costs are from $300-$500. It's best to save your money and do it yourself with a couple of friends. Good luck!

 

do i need a new clutch if its just those springs?? i have 120k miles on my 94 teg. i want a ne clutch anyway but just cant aford it right now

 

youll need one soon dont mess up your tranny

 

Well...you can get just the clutch disc and not the pressure plate. I wouldn't recommend it though.

I drove 10k miles with my clutch disc springs chattering. Just don't do any crazy high-RPM shifting and you should be fine. But really...get it fixed before it dies out on you.

If you're tight on money, just get a Type R clutch. I believe they go for $220.

 

is there anyway to fix the springs on the disc plate as dozed said or am i going to need a new clutch??

 

ttt

 

if it is say, just the release bearing, how much will it be on to buy and install a new one?? is it gunna be the same price to install a new clutch??

 

If your bearings are shot, just put a new clutch in. The major price of putting a clutch in is the labor, so while its out you should put a new clutch in. Ryan

 

You CAN do the job yourself. If you have any mechanical experience you might want to try it.

im only 18 and still in high school, but, i have been doin my own stuff for all my things like bikes, mopeds, etc. is it a really hard job or is it just a time consuming job??

 

I glazed my clutch yesterday at the track. Oh well guess i'm gonna have to buy a new one now. ACT stage 2 here I come

 

It's basically just time-consuming. I didn't find it "hard." I didn't mention that I'm 17, did I? Age has nothing to do with it. It's all about how mechanical you are. If you have been able to work on other things, you should be able to do this. Good luck if you decide to do it. If you have any questions, you can PM me and I'll attempt to help you.
