ok so sometimes when i throw my car into reverse it grinds especially when im moving a little bit and throw it in reverse... but when im completely still it doesnt grind... is this good or bad cuz i think it grinds very rarely when im standing still and then reverse it

 

Does this to me on occasion when its cold out. Try pumping the clutch a few times before doing it. As to why it does it, may be due to low fluids, or some other internal tranny issue.

 

oh yea i forgot to mention my clutch is bad... i have to put it almost all the way to the floor to change gears

That would explain allot. Worn/busted splines on a pressure plate will not let a clutch disengage correctly, causing gear grinds. Make a note to make the clutch your next project.

 

what clutch should i get??? i have a bone stock z6 but i want something that grabs hard but that isnt expensive i was thinking about exedy stage 1 what u think????

 

Exedy stage one is a very popular upgrade. I am very pleased with mine. WEll worth every dollar for the avg of $295 (depending where you buy from)

 

wholy **** 295???? that includes pp right???? and does it grab hard?

Yes, that was the avg price i paid for mine.
Yes its the complete kit, disk, pressure plate, Throwout bearing, alignment tool and lube.
Its awsome, as soon as you install it, its a night/day difference to stock, much stiffer clutch pedal feel and its much more grippy than stock. As i had mentioned, worth every single dollar for a daily driver car.

 

does your car feel like it has slightly more torque because of the extra grabbing of the flywheel?

I wouldnt go as far as to say it feels like it has "more torque", but the response from before vs after was significant. Got allot more tire chirping

Could bang thru gears and not be concerend about damaging your clutch as much.

 

yea tru i just wanna do my homework before i buy it... now i just have to find the cheapest place to buy one

 

whats the exact name of the clutch u have because exedy makes too many clutches i wanna pick the right one

Exedy organic (stage one)

 

You're SUPPOSED to put your clutch to the floor when you change gears. If you haven't been putting the pedal to the floor and shifting gears, you would end up with clutch and trans. problems. Or do you mean you have to have the pedal off the floor to get it out of gear?

The OP's symptoms were that of a worn clutch in general, having trouble getting in and out of gear(s). Worn clutches will do this at the end of their lifespan.

 

what do you guys think about resurfacing my flywheel while im in there??? i heard it a good idea
