clutch question

energiesource · October 15th, 2008, 06:16 PM

so i got my transmission fixed last year and a new clutch put in at the same time. its started to squeak everytime i shift and let the clutch out
is it possible that they didnt resurface the flywheel and the clutch is slipping off the flywheel or what? it gets fucking annoying, i have to let the clutch out til it gets to like 500 rpm and then give it a bit of gas just so it doesnt squeak, anything past 1000 and it squeaks.

it was just fucking replace last year.

Was it a spec clutch? Cause if so its probalblly the tob. The spec TOB is notorius for going out prematuraly, mine started squeking about 8 months after it was put in.

LOL Mine started squeaking after 200 miles on the new clutch. If I could go back and do it again Id get centerforce or fidanza and avoid spec...

Throwout bearing is you answer Im almost 100% positive

I drove my car normal for years and the throwout bearing went bad last month. It's not completely un heard of, but it is rather early. I do reccomend an FRPP throw-out bearing though... I've had mine in for a little over a month now i believe and no issues thus far...

Throwout bearing homie. I've had them raise hell right out of the box. Unless you have a hamster in the tranny.
