Crunchy Gears at high Revs/ Cant get into gear!

[Lynx]

Keltik- When i tried to double clutch it, it still wouldnt even go into gear.

Here are some pics off my phone.

As you can see the flywheel has some pretty mad hot spots, you can feel them with your finger.

Yep, like i said less than 7,000kms on it. Nah flywheel didnt get skimmed, the guy that help change the clutch last time said it was fine, and it looked fine too.

Pressure plate looks pretty normal, like a brandnew standard one.

So anyone know why my clutch blew, dont want it to happen to next one? haha

If its less than a year old, id be taking it back to repco and raising holy hell

Even when raped by the biggest muppet (not saying thats happened here) they shouldnt fail like this

Do you guys recommend me doing this? I will be looking at getting a exedy H/D next.

The only time this clutch got abit of raping was at nightwars which i had three runs and thats it, but this was end of last year.

Anyone know why a clutch would fail like this?

yer go hit them up - dont take the flywheel as it looks beaten up - and dont say it got raped at nightwars..

it shouldnt have failed like that

[Guest keltik]

Only time ive seen a clutch disc actually come apart was in a ute that was attempting to tow a caravan up a vertical gravel driveway....and even then it was a 4 yr old clutch in a daily driver.

At worst you shouldve gotten a lot of smoke and a slippy clutch.

I am going back to repco tomorrow. What do you guys think of auto clutch making a new clutch for me?

[Guest keltik]

I'd say get a Factory one. Does the job great for most and is priced well.

[Lynx]

Ok got the exedy clutch in today. Everything is sweet as apart from the engaging/friction point which is high as. We have tried adjusting the clutch but cant get it to engage it right/how i want it to. Either no clutch or high friction point.

Any ideas guys?

[Guest keltik]

My clutch is the same way. Am open to advice.

[Lynx]

Any ideas?

how much freeplay do you have before the pedal actually starts working the clutch?

By free play do you mean from the bottom or top?

Clutch shudders on take offs and downshifts, is this normal?

[Guest keltik]

Common problem but its not supposed to do that. Did you get your flywheel skimmed?

Shudder is supposedly caused by hot spots in the flywheel or on the pressure plate.

[Guest boostin]

1. Always skim the flywheel.

2. Replace the clutch slave cylinder.

Flywheel was replaced with a second hand that was machined.

Is slave cylinder causing all this??

[Guest keltik]

I heard rumours theyre only $40 ish from subaru. But after finding a belt tensioner was $430 ive been too afraid to ask.

[Guest]

been thinking of replacing mine, but yea, can imagin price lol

any one know the part number for the slide pins on 4 pot brakes? i had it but now lost it

-smurff

[Lynx]

So replacing Slave cylinder will fix my problem??

[Guest]

did they come to a conclusion on what your problem was?

slave cylinder was a suggestion i guess

Nope, but would be great if someone did.

[Guest]

did anyone ask about when the clutch fluid was changed last?

-smurff

[Guest boostin]

Yes the slave can cause your issues. If its cheap enough, then replace it. Some are $40ish, others are $200. Ring your local dealer with your cars chassis number and check.
