Mechanical / Re: Toasted Clutch
« Last post by Zach on May 13, 2024, 06:24:34 PM »Man I wonder if all of this was caused by a poorly adjusted clutch and maybe some oil leakage. Tore open the transmission today and it is really clean for something that hasn’t been babied for 60k miles. Was pretty concerned for a minute since I saw a lot of light gray metallic sludge but from what I can tell it’s normal and is just basic wear or it’s coming from the ball bearings but they seem to be just fine for now, the most worn thing I really saw was some chips on 2nd on the counter shaft. Just gonna clean it reassemble with a gasket kit and freshen up the shift linkage, didn’t slide the gears off the shaft so that’ll save some time.
If anyone else has any ideas lemme know, to reinstate the problem was amplified by a burnout that didn’t work out, dropped the clutch and it just slipped and burned until the tires started spinning like they should. Then the bucking back and fourth from a dead stop to moving got a lot worse and happened all the time (stop sign, light, driveway, etc.) .
From what I can tell the clutch was bad but not as bad as it should’ve been, flywheel was pretty ugly, lots of heat luckily I caught it before any cracks.
Thanks all.
