I only expected to do about a month worth of driving (1500km or so) and
I was going to do the clutch next spring. As well wanted to give myself
a break from all the $ I had spent last few weeks/months.
Varun insisted it was a low mileage motor. Spare me the lecture on ignorance.
Actually I have no problem taking the clutch/tranny out. I’m more
frustrated with the $ I have to spend so soon on another clutch.
Classic… :lol:
so just because the clutch is no good it should prove that the motor is not a “low milage motor” ?
I’m sure their are people here who could burn out a stock clutch disk in no time @ the truck under an extremely condition etc regardless of engine milage
Only reason my clutch/pressure plate looked like it did and was rusty as it was… was because Varun got me an automatic engine instead of a 5spd so then sourced the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate… I wasnt worried about its condition because it was going to Euro-Drive regardless…
Me- dude take your tranny off while its sitting here on the ground while its easy and see whats up
G-unit- nahhhh ima gangsta wut
Me - nerd
It doesn’t even look like an oem disc, oh wait, the motor might have been used at the track under extreme conditions, that’s a lot better than it having higher milage.
Even if he inspected that clutch before he put the motor in he would have still re used it…The clutch disk itself has about 3-4mm of meat before it gets to the rivets if you look closely…No one stares at a pressure plate and realises its fucked, like a clutch disk. It was just bad luck for G this time thats all…
Like I said; it was more of a $ issue then time. I mean I had the tranny
out in a day (compared to weeks I spent with the KA).
Just having to spend another few bills is what really got to me,
considering I had been waiting for weeks to go for a spin.
Oh well, the new guy is on its way. :twisted:
give a bad driver a 5 speed car and they will roast the clutch to death in days, the rust would form on anything that is standing for more than a month period and is metal eg friction parts.
Or it could have over 100 000km on it, and the rust is from power washing the motor.
the motor wasnt even cleaned smart ass…LOL…Gautam made that thing shine on his own…
Look closely, you can barely see the slots left. the “3-4mm of meat left” is the back of the rivet. The rivets are inversed on every other rivet. If you look at the next rivet (can be seen but barely), there’s probably less than 0.5mm left.
so whats your point dumbass and all the other idiots, people buy used motors for a reason because they are cheaper than new motors from the factory, so therefore a used motor would equal a used clutch so i dont understand where you guys are going with this whole situation. you want a new clutch buy one otherwise your taking a risk, eitherway varuns engines are top notch one bad clutch is a pretty good deal still considering gonad probably got a deal.
For comaprison here are pics of my KA clutch when it was toast…
Still think it’s my disc? I personally don’t think so. I’m replacing the
pressure plate with an OEM one (while the new unit is on delivery) soon
and going to see how it drives.
Twice the work? Meh…
Pic #1 = Front (facing flywheel), Pic #2 = Back (facing pressure plate)
Wow, get off varun’s dick there buddy. Everyone posting in this thread knows when you buy a used motor can can’t expect to have a good clutch, why do you think people are asking why he didn’t check it before putting it in his car?
Guys easy there.
I know its a used motor. I wasn’t expecting it to have a clutch made of
gold or some shit. So luck wasn’t on my side. Who cares. :roll:
Anyways, how many ppl have actually kept their stock SR clutch for more
then a few weeks from one of his motorsets? Not many I’d imagine.
And he’s helpin me out with a working unit until the real deal arrives. :shock:
what clutch did you order?
OEM
Point is the clutch disk is not 3-4mm meat left. Just setting the facts straight as to the cause of the problem Gonad is having. No one is debating about the risk of used motors (a 10+year motor).
so then whats the point of this horseshit.
applesauce take it easy bro.
It all just comes down to AppleSauce not liking varun or the motors
people buy off him. :dunno:
