new clutch?
i have a 89 six speed. the guy who i bought it from said its probably ganna need a new cluth soon. i've put about 2,000 miles on it since i've had it. now im getting a grinding/ scraping noise that sounds like metal to metal in the clutch housing and the noise wurs up as the rpm's increase. the noise is gone in netuarl and my foot off the clutch. anybody had these problems or know what the cause might be? thank you thank you thank you. -joe.

RE: new clutch?
sounds like you need a new clutch assembly. and metal on metal sounds like you may need a new flywheel as well.
"what a revoltin' development." good luck with it. cheers |
RE: new clutch?
thanks a lot man. i gotta get that done.. cars.. nothin but time and money.. but its well worth it. thanks again

RE: new clutch?
Sorry....wasn't trying to be a smart azz. I know it kinda sounded that way but I certainly didn't mean it that way. if you are mechanical inclined you should be able to do the R&R yourself. I would be afraid to drive it in its current condition as you can easily cause significant damage to the bellhousing and transmission. Not sure what the bellhousing is made of but I assume it's aluminum. If the clutch explodes it could get hairy in the cockpit. Please have it looked at soon. be careful and good luck with it. Cheers

RE: new clutch?
Hello.I think you might need a whole new clutch assembly.From what you're saying,it sounds pretty bad...I wouldn't drive it too much.Maybe you might consider an upgrade,like to a Centerforce assembly.But I say,fix it first and then enjoyit.It might save you a lot of money in the long run.Good luck and tell us how it goes,ok?Your friend,Joe.

RE: new clutch?
If it goes away when your clutch is in, its probably the throw out bearing at this point. Unless he has been driving it for a while with the TOB being bad I dont see how he would be grinding down the flywheel.
|
RE: new clutch?
10 miles with no clutch surface is a long time. I guess we'll not know until he tears it down and hopefully posts the results. I hope it's just a TOB. Cheers

RE: new clutch?
thanks a lot guys. this might sound like a dumb question...but... where can i find a quality TOB? i've found a cluth kit from carolina clutchs and performance. but no TOB. i want to replace everything. and one more question... is there any specail rutines or things i should know about before i go about this? i've been a tech for quite sometime now, at various places. but never a chevy dealer. i'm wondering if its worth paying someone to do it. or if you guys think its a self do-able job in the drive way on jack stands. thanks so much for your help fellas. i can't thank you enough.

RE: new clutch?
Does the car have any pull at all when you let out the clutch, or do the rpms just increase like it is free spinning? If you can still get some grip, you still have a bit of clutch left, and the damage shouldnt be *that* great.

RE: new clutch?
yea the clutch pulls fine. no slipping what so ever. its just the noises it makes are haorrible. no vet should sound like that. you guys kick ass. my birthday is tom. i have a feeling i know what i'm getting... i hope. thanks again guys. you don't even know how much your helping me.;)

RE: new clutch?
Any way you look at it, your going to drop the tranny and look at it. So,
1) Replace clutchassemble (pressurevplate, clutch, fly wheel, and through out bearing) 2) Make sure thehydraulic clutch is working andproperly adjusted(it must bebleed of air properly) 3) Be prepared to replace the drive shaft u-joints. |
RE: new clutch?
