I'm reposting my question from yesterday, which was poorly received. In hindsight I should have just asked the question and skipped the degree of detail and lame attempts at humor. Wish delete was an option.
Two clutch-related problems: clutch pedal feel that gets "notchy" or, for lack of a better term, "not smooth" as the engine warms, and also judder or grabbing from take-off in first (also gets worse as engine warms). I do not know my way around a clutch or a transmission. The one installed was put in by the engine rebuilder and sat for 5 years. Vehicle has new pressure plate, friction disk, TOB, Gemo cable, rebuilt pedal cluster. Just fixed an input shaft leak, drove about 100 miles on it. Seems like that could explain the grabbing but not the worsening notchiness, which is still present even when engine is off, warm, and has been present since Mile 0. I've ordered a clutch kit from PP and will probably just replace the whole thing, but what specifically should I be looking for in terms of faults? Thanks. Long time lurker but rare poster. Greatly appreciate the World. |
