normally i would say new pilot bushin and throwout bearing…thats up to oyu since they are new anyway…i mean they are like what 45 bux together…but get a formal diagnosis before comminting to anything…
does it slip all the time or only after driving hard for a while…or just after driving normal for a while
you broke it.
break in is anywhere from 500-1000, I did 850 because then I wanted to race some people.
You smoked it immediately… thus making the rest of the break in period useless.
You need a new one.
im at work…i drove for 10 mins from there to here…if u accelerate slow, u wouldnt know…if u step on the gas, the revs go up…he told me to come over after work so he can check it out…is the commute ok if i just take it real easy?
yea it will be ok for a lil bit… i drove my 89 escort gt for like 3 months with a bad clutch then i could barely drive it cause it was slipping so bad…just gotta take it easy
Lol, same thing happened to me inthe maximamama after I got a new clutch. On the way home some guy in an RX8 wanted to go, this was when they first came out, I couldnt resist. The clutch was funky for a little, but straightened itself out. Just drive it normal and itll be fine. And for future reference, thats how you know a clutch is going bad, the car will rev up in gear…
Good luck
“The clutch was funky for a little, but straightened itself out.” ok…so vq…maximase…and jack…and newman…im taking it there for him to check out or whatever…but should I TRY to continue the break in process and see if it gets any better?? or is it not possible
break in isnt really a process. Just drive like a grandma for a while and youll be fine.
even if its already slipping orwhatever its doing? its not too late to “drive it like a grandma” for a 1000 miles and then it will be fine? i mean they will replace whatever for free but im trying to avoiding going back there
man o man that place has thorughly fucked your car how can he say “it seems to drive fine feel free to pound on it” and call himself a mechanic?
bad luck problem #378023347823347892:
had the car back for 2-3 days, driving it like a granny still for this stupid bullshit clutch break-in gayness…getting off the thruway onto millersport (same exit where my clutch stuck to the floor and pissed out fluid) and i hit a little tiny pothole and blew out my sidewall :tup: to never getting to use the only enjoyment in my life
if you dont like it that much, why not get an auto and that way you dont have to sound like a baby? we all have to break in new clutches…its part of owning a manual car, deal with it…quit crying that you have to baby it…
and i’m kinda amazed that 222hp could fry a clutch that quick…but it can…
and as to newman saying you shouldnt pound on it at all…that kinda upsets me, because when we first took my car for a test driev, we were near red-lining every gear and hit over 100 on the first run lol…maybe it makes a difference because i dont have a stock clutch…
so who are you going to have do the clutch job now?
Ain’t that the pot callin’ the kettle back :shrug:
Ain’t that the pot callin’ the kettle back :shrug:
it’s not the HP that fries a clutch, its the torque, and if the clutch is rated for a particular amount of torque, it can fry easily.
clutch break in is gay indeed.
im not whining bout the clutch break in, im dealing with it for another 700 miles, i simply posted some bad luck = blowing out my f00kin sidewall on my tire
what kinda tires did you have? stock wheels?
regardless though that does suck…my condolences
stock wheels yes…would love to get 2 tires today and osmeone who wants to help me mount the bitches on cause its been 4 weeks in a row i couldnt go to BAO…finally get the fucker back and i blow out the tire on a pothole…will pay for troubles along with obvious tire price :tup:
there’s been a lot of good things posted about sean lately (jdmr2)…hit him up and see what he says…works for bridgestone i think?
the huge blowout - i already sent an email to the thruway authority
:tdown:
My car will be down for about a week now as well…
Just to shed a little light on this situation, This was one of those once in a while jobs that problems seemed to crop up at every step and nothing seemed to go right. I personally did not work on kyle’s car other than for about an hour to finish up after his rear main was installed and to fix a speedo wiring oversight. I am not there every day, but I am familiar with what happened. Mistakes were made, It was unfortunate, and I wish it would not have happened to you, kyle, but I hope that you came away with the realization that the owners tried to make it right.
