Glad its just the plate. I think the other guy who had a broken clutch had a Southbend also but it was the disc that fragmented.

Are they sending you a whole new clutch assembly w/ a new flywheel or are they just replacing the pressure plate?

Flywheel is fine as is the disk, but I am replacing the disk anyway since it is apart. S%t breaks, Shane at work has broke 4 clutches in 2 years with his neon, one ACT,another single disk I forget the brand, and broke a pressure plate and a disk twice on a clutch masters twin disk...

Hey Joepro, I like how you painted your engine/intake cover to match your car. I would paint mine but my car is platinum grey/silver already...

PS Don't forget to change the CSC, I think it gets extended onto the dirty part of the sleeve when the bell housing is pulled and the O-Ring picks up serious contamination.

I have a zspeed csc in there an It doesn't have a ton of miles on it, im gonna roll with it.

glad its nothing serious!

Joepro · 04-02-2014, 09:06 PM

Joe shipped it immediately, will be at the house tomorrow, should be back on the road before I know it, I left the tranny strapped to the jack so I can plop it right back in.

That's gotta make you feel better. So free rep for those of us that said clutch?

Joepro · 04-02-2014, 09:52 PM

That was matts first guess just wanted to avoid pulling the trans because all the turbo pipes have to come off after that I I have it down second, ours trans are fairly easy,to pull

I just read every post of this thread and it made me super anxious to find out what it was and the whole time I was thinking maybe he should drop the trans and check out all the rotating components... glad it wasn't knocking or something worse!!! thought you were seriously pulling an april fools joke on us
