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.

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

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.
