Alright. Well after doin a clutch job, Exedy 92+ oem replacement and ACT Prolite flywheel, and takin forever to get my tranny back in, i got everything back together and fired up the car. When i started i up, there was a sort of clunking noise comin from the tranny which would go away about 2 secs after i put the clutch all the way in. I threw it in gear, and could move it fine back and forward. So i started to drive it down my driveway, something clunked, and then it stopped moving. I can go through all the gears just fine, but when i let off the pedal, the car doesnt move. I thought it was the axles but i checked those and both were in. When i have the clutch pedal out and rev the motor, the speedo does not move.
So I took the tranny off today, and i'm not really sure what to look for, the throwout bearing moves back and forward fine and the input shaft appears to be intact. But, there IS grease on the pressure plate fins where the throwout beraing makes contact with it. Could it be slipping around on the pressure plate or do I have other issues. Any other suggestions? Thanks in Advance!

 

Did you replace the throwout bearing when you put your new clutch in?

If not that could be your problem.

 

Well, we took it off and were prepared to replace it, but the one that was sent to me by exedy had the arms on it instead of the holes, so it was not compatible with tranny. So we just regreased the old one and put it back on. I think this could very well be why, but the bearing was fine b4 we changed the clutch.

 

I would change it anyway.
Also check the pilot bearing and see if it is alright that could cause you some problems in the future as well.

 

Be sure the clutch disk is perfectly aligned. I am sure you got an alignment tool with the clutch. Also, there is no reason to grease the contact of the throw out bearing. Just lube the input shaft.

 

Yea i think the grease got on there from when i was tryin to reinstall the tranny, i threw a lot of lube on the input shaft and i think thats how it got on there. It all looks fine so i'm gonna throw everything back on there tommorow and see whats up. If it doesnt work, I give up. Can anybody reccommend a shop that wont rape me to just install the clutch? I'd have more peace of mind knowin that stuff Should be right and i have a warranty.

 

Man, put it back in the car first, see if it runs right before you go hauling it off to a shop. Have some faith in yourself, might pay off

 

lol I know man. Thats why i took it back apart again. I'd hate to sned it in and have it be something simple. I've seen cases of people's flywheel bolts backin out even after bein torqued to spec, so I think i'm gonna throw some threadlock on those. But yea i'm throwin it back together, again, tommorow, we'll see how it goes.

 

Well i hooked it all back up today. It seems that my passenger side axle was NOT all the way in which explains the clunking i heard. The consequences of this are that on the part of the axle after the ring clip, the threads are almost completely ground down, and on top of that, it did some damage to that part inside the tranny as well. So i'm assuming that I'm gonna havta get another tranny, and definately an axle. But for now i'm just gonna havta drive it like it is and hope i dont get stuck anywhere. I took it for a couple runs around the block and haven't had the axlpe pop out or anything, and man do i love it with this new flywheel. But yeah, thanks alot for the help, i appreciate it.

 

From the problems i explained in the above post, can anyone tell me if i need a new tranny? Thanks!
