soooooooooo yeah, ummm im almost positive my clutch is going out this time. i know ive bugged sn95 about this issue a few times now but im prettttty sure something is wrong with it. let me enlighten you on some of the symptoms causing me to think that its going out and let me know if im right or if you think i am.
Issue 1 - not all the time but at least a 2 times a day, ill need to downshift, ill put the clutch in, switch gears, slowly let clutch out to "catch" BUT! it will not WANT to catch. i can let the pedal out ALMOST all the way, and it wont catch. so ill finally release the pedal a bit more, and then it will just instantly catch, like i popped the clutch and my car will jerk.
Issue 2 - There is a very slight grade going up to get into my school parking lot. sometimes the traffic is kinda bad. so i will have to kinda ride the clutch to get up the hill, but do this in stop and go traffic. well, its beginning to get to the point where i can release the clutch a bit, press the gas, but the amount of gas i give the car is not proportional in how fast it gets going. at like 1500-2000 rpm and riding the clutch, it feels like someone is pushing my car up the hill. to actually get moving, i will almost have to release the clutch to get it going anywhere, but then my car will almost die because the rpms get so low..
Issue 3 - hasn't happend alot yet but its getting noticeably worse.. when im at a stop light or stop sign, ill take it out of like 2nd as i come to a stop and when im stopped, put it in first.. but sometimes it wont go in 1st so ill have to let it roll an inch or two... and also, sometimes when im shifting gears, it sometimes feels like its gettin harder to put into gear...
doesn't this all seem to lead up to my clutch gettin tired?
Solutions!
SPEC Stage 1 clutch MAYBE stage 2.. what do you guys think about SPEC clutches? i do not have 300 dollars to spend on a clutch so lets keep it kinda cheap if you guys could help me out.
What about king cobra clutches? basically stock engine so only 263lbtq.. mods will come soon but im not expecting 500hp anytime soon.
Thanks guys! :thumb:
