Hey whats up gang?
Neways I was driving the R tonight in "racing" conditions, but just tested her against myself. I ended up grinding twice in a row in second and third which sounded pretty bad, and afterwards I started from a stand still but seemed like I mishifted (almost like it wouldn't shift unless applying clutch twice). So I was wondering what your thoughts on grinding and mis-shifting? Maybe my experience tonight was a sign the clutch is goin out? Or should I have nothing to worry about? Didnt's seem like anything was burining so...........What ya think? Ive had this clutch replaced almost 20K ago, so I'm just wondering if its me, since I kinda drive it harder then normal.

Could be your disc. The springs can break out of the hub of the clutch disc and cause all kinds of problems. Hard driving at high rpm's can cause this to happen even with low miles on the clutch. Leaking clutch hydraulics can also cause grinding because the clutch does not disengage completely when you push in the clutch pedal.Good luck.

 

when was the last time you changed the tranny fluid? if it's been a while, changing it might help.
