I got my sr started today, but I have a problem. The clutch or flywheel is squealing and smoke is coming out of the bell housing. I replaced the flywheel (fidanza)and clutch (spec stage 3) and throwout bearing before installing the engine. The clutch seems to work fine and it shifts fine. I greased everything, it didnt smell like my clutch burning and didn’t smell like oil or fluid, it just squealed loud and smoked, everything works fine beside those problems. Please help???

I started the car this morning and the squealing and smoking wasn’t there until it warmed up. Does anyone know why this is happening?

quite possibly the clutch disc may be in backwards… it’ll grip like VERY well for a VERY short amount of time…

I think any way you look at it, you’re going to be pulling the tranny again to at least LOOK at it.
