My poor car is putting me to the test this week. I'm driving around today and start heading up this large hill in third gear, when it's obvious that my clutch is slipping. I've adjusted the cable out before and essentially if my foot even gets close to the clutch pedal, the clutch slips. In fact I have to be mindful of my shoe laces since the weight of them seems to cause slippage.
I'm going to look at it once more tomorrow, but I think I'll have to bite the bullet and pull the tranny. And to think I was getting all gung ho upgrade my control arm & trailing arm bushings. Looking at the Pelican site, they have a "Super Kit" for the low, low price of $387.75. Which includes the following: New Pressure Plate New 911 Clutch Disc New Throw-out Bearing New Pilot Bearing and Felt Ring 2 Throw-out Bearing Guide Clips New Throw-out Fork Bushing 2 CV Joint Gaskets 2 Muffler Gaskets New Flywheel O-Ring New Flywheel Bolts New Flywheel Metal Crush Gasket Clutch Disc Alignment Tool Flywheel/crankshaft seal not included - check yours first before ordering. Is this overkill? Anything else needed? |

I was just wondering if an impact gun would be ok. I guess it is...excellent.
I adjusted the clutch out this afternoon, about 3-4 turns, and it still slips in 3rd gear, even on flat roads. I'm going to adjust it out some more just to make sure I didn't have it to tight. Otherwise, the tranny is coming out this weekend so I can see what I've got. What's this end play junk I've been reading about? Should I check this before I remove the flywheel? I've got the correct dial indicator and mount to do this, I'm just confused at when to do it and how much needs to be installed. |
