clutch problem?

blue03mach1 · January 10th, 2008, 03:55 PM

ive been hearing something wine every time i put in the clutch lately and figured something was starting to go. i recently let my mechanic which is a sct dealer order a e-mail tune and did adjustments and it made quite a difference. so today hit it in 2nd and shifted to 3rd and noticed right away that i basically had no clutch to press down on, like it had no spring to it. lucky this happened right when i turned onto my street and was able to get it into 3rd gear and get it into my drive way but not into the garage. im not sure what happened im assuming maybe the pressure plate?(i think the added hp and torque was too much for it) any ideas? thanks

Could have smoked the clutch, did you check the clutch cable? Does the pedal feel stiff and you just have no clutch? or does the pedal just drop to the floor with no resistence? Could be a couple of things.

Was there a burning smell when this happened?

My car has been making a squeaky noise every time I push in the clutch pedal. Like a rusty spring would do or something. I'm gunna get it checked out, hopefully its just a cable or plate,

TOB could have blew apart. i assume your on the stock clutch? how many miles? the stock clutch ussually goes for a while in those cars

happend to me last week... car is on a trailer on its way to my parents shop as we speak

40thmustanggt · January 17th, 2008, 07:33 PM

to me it sounds like the clutch cable..

TyCouey2000GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:27 PM

TOB??? and i have a squeaky noise everytime i push in the clutch, it sounds like a rusted swing or something would sound like, hopefully its jst a weak cable or something. I dont feel like paying for a new clutch install

TheUNZippee! · January 17th, 2008, 11:28 PM

TOB = throw out bearing

zinc02GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:31 PM

well a common indicator of a bad throw out bearing is that sqeauking noise when the clutch is pressed. Ill have to agree with chronic on this one

TyCouey2000GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:31 PM

Tob, that comes with the kit when you buy a new clutch right? its part of the whole flywheel and clutch assembly??

TyCouey2000GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:34 PM

It just started squeakin today, It doesnt do it everytime i press the clutch, but it does sometimes. Is it safe to drive it with a bad tob for about a week untill I can pay to get it fixed. And how much would the fix be

zinc02GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:41 PM

if it only does it every once in a while i wouldnt about it yet. couldbe somhting else or in your head. Id wait till it becomes a constant thing.

and yes a tob is normally included with a clutch kit. Spec from AM has everything youd need in the stage 1 kit

TheUNZippee! · January 17th, 2008, 11:42 PM

Check this out Ty: Clutch!!

zinc02GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:46 PM

yeah id go with the stage 2 also now... I never bothered looking at your mods.

Kudos for Teh Zip

TyCouey2000GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:46 PM

thanks, what would the install usually run for a clutch kit like that? and id have to get the flywheel done to right?

zinc02GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:48 PM

not nessacarily with the flywheel.

If you have common knowledge of that kinda thing, putting clutches in arent that bad. may take a little while, but its nothing extremely hard if you have the right stuff.

I dunno. Im a cheap bastard. I do everything myself unless it requires a professional

TheUNZippee! · January 17th, 2008, 11:49 PM

I do that shit myself, Ty, so I dunno. But I wouldn't think it should cost more than a couple hundred bucks for the install.

TyCouey2000GT · January 17th, 2008, 11:51 PM

K, well thanks for the help! I'll probably post a vid tomorrow to make sure. But from searching the forums and you guys here, im pretty sure its the tob. I just gotta save up for the new clutch and install. But i'll be happy to have a new Spec stage 2!!
