Ok guys after searching until my fingers have became numb, i still dont have the answer i am looking for.

I have a 97 GSR that i use as my winter ride, and i just recently blew the clutch in it.

A really good friend of mine had a full Type R clutch that he gave me. So what i did was use the disc from the type R and a ACT pressure plate( i had laying around) so i would have good pedal feel.

Any how i put in the disc and pressure plate. then bolted the tranny and everything else back in,but to only find that i cant get the clutch to FULLY DISENGAGE!!!!

If i try to start the car with the clutch in and the car in gear the car just jumps forward.

Now, does anybody know if you are able to use stock OEM clutch parts with after market Pressure plates?

I really need a answer to this as i am pulling it back apart today to either see WTF is going wrong, or just use the OEM type R pressure plate.


Thanks
Brian

 

also i have check the slave cylinder and the master cylinder, so i you can rule those out of the equation.


Thanks
Brian

 

I bet its your throw bearing

1.Either it backwards, b/c it fell off on the install and was installed wrong.

2. You just lost the throw out bearing.

3. Clutch disc is on the wrong way.

Let me know how it turns out.

 

Ok if it was the throw out bearings wouldnt make a funny noise or something?

Wouldnt the cluth make noise in neutrel?

 

Ok just am update for you guys.
I found out what is causing the problem. the main shaft splines had small burrs on the splines from when the last disc was stripped out.


I have to file down the main shaft to make the disc slide smoothly on the main shaft.


I also found out that OEM clutches have alot tighter tolerance on the main shaft splines. I have 3 other AFTER-market disc and i was able to slide them all the way down, and bring it back up smoothly.

But if i tried this with the OEM Type R disc, i could only get it half way on and it would stop. The disc would get very tight on the main shaft splines.


So in conclusion i have found that i am going to have to order another ACT disc in order to get this thing moving again. As i filed on the main shaft last night for a good solid hour or more and still couldn't get it to slide right,but as soon as i tried one of the aftermakret disc it went on and off very smoothly.

More $$$$ I don't have.
