40k of awesome miles and one morning I find it very hard to shift. The car shakes sometimes, and other times just doesn't want to go into gear.

Having seen it before I could guess what it was. Dropped the tranny tonight, and *surprise*



Comptech AL 6.75lbs flywheel and Action 1KS clutch going in tomorrow!

 

dude thats nothing... hold up, ill go take a pic of my old disk!!

 

hey now you cant be using your own products.....haha.....those are for the customers

 

I'm holding but my hands are slipping....

a lot of the ITR guys went to get warranty service done since this was so common (search archives). I'd rather upgrade and not let the dealer touch the car

the friction surface still has plenty of miles...

hahaha right on! Comptech is still taking forever with orders...this one took me 4 weeks!

 

dammit, i dont know how to host pics, ... the chick that owned the car before me, USED THE RIVOTS that hold the two pieces of the plate together... they plates literally fell out of the car when we took it apart

 

hahahahaa priceless

I've seen some beat up disks...I'd like to see yours. I should post the one that's worn down to metal about as thick as tinfoil

 

I forget who's this was, but needless to say

 

Blew the **** outta that one.

 

holy ****... das one dead clutch... just bout as dead as a monkey who was analy raped by an elephant with AIDS

 

same thing happened to my stock clutch. love my CM stage 1 now though.

 

That's the exact same portion that broke off on my clutch too. Have fun with the new flywheel.

 

How long does the clutch swap take in the teg: a few hours, an afternoon, a whole day?

 

depends on knowledge and the availability ot tools.
if you have both, then about 3-4 hours.

 

same on my stock clutch with 70k on it. plenty of plate left, but that bastard snapped off.

 

how do you know if its blowN?

 

it won't go into gear for **** and you can just tell it feels all wrong.

 

When it gets really bad, it'll grind gears often.

 

not to mention the synchros

 

Holy ****!!! I've been having the same issues with my tranny ('95 GSR) at first I thought it was the clutch pressure plate. Then the pedal started going from soft to stiff, so I was like great, it's the damn hydraulics in the system. Yet I didn't know whether it was the master or slave cylinder. You seemed to have the same problems as me, and I've been told by my mechanic that sometimes one of those springs on the clutch pop out. So you help validate that assumption of the clutch.

Thanks

 

when the pedal gets all stiff it can mean the housing for the spring is starting to chip and making it not work properly. worst case the spring pops out like you said. You should prob replace it before the whole thing grenades.

Yup, the same pieces fell out of mine as well.

Driving the car was absolutely no fun at that point!!

 

Thanks for the info. Yeah, the car is no fun at that point. I almost had an accident because 2nd gear was a no show...good thing the motor revs fairly high, I got out of that situation by gunning the motor

 

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

 

Where does that piece of metal go?
