Odd problem...

**Spaz** · 12-26-2007, 04:52 AM

i did a 4500 or so rpm dump (to scare the shit out of a girl i was giving a ride) and my rpms died out... and the car stalled... no smell of burning clutch or anything... when i started the car it wouldn't go in to gear... so i put it in second and started it and drove it home...

here is where it gets weird...

i take it to a shop so i can drop the trans out... on there way there coming up to a light it cluncks a few times and i have my clutch back and can shift normal instead of shutting it off at every stop and the starting it in gear...

what could the problem be?

SO basically it feels like the clutch is not dis-engaging? Im thinking collapsed pressure plate!

no... it's a new spec stage 3+... it is fine now... shifts fine... every thing... but i'm afraid that there is still something wrong or lose in the drive line some where...

when the car was running... it wouldn't let me put it gear...
when the car was not running... it would let me put it in gear...

then *clunk* every thing is working fine again...

any one know what could have caused this?

**Sleeper101** · 12-26-2007, 10:33 AM

Sorry have never heard of it breaking like that and re-fixing itself as if there is nothing wrong. But it really sounds like something with the clutch. Whether it be throwout bearing or something else beats me. But I think its worth tearing apart to find out.

Ya im curious myself!! So after you got it in gear was you able to shift anymore? Or only when you stop?

i was fine... i rev matched and shifted with out the clutch... i had to start my car with it in first (only way it would go in gear was when the engine was not running...) and go from there...

You see , this is what happens at just the WRONG
time as you are showing off to the ladies . Its called , " MURPHY"S LAW " !
Happens to me all the time. On my Harley or in my Vert. just at the most un-opportune time cause you have your confidence up & have successfully performed this procedure many times before. And now , just when you are most vulnerable , something fucks up & cause's much embarrassment in front of the ladies. I mean , what are the odds ?

i would def take the thing apart, put it this way , yes it fine now, but it isnt supposed to do what it did so somethng if fucked up. like before pressure plate or bearing,, did you check your fluid level after this, whats it at? loosing it ata ll?

it seems like i have broke a motor mount...

the out put shaft has almost a half inch of wear... the trans bushing bolt slid back the same distance in the mount... also the exhaust hanger in the back also has the same almost half inch wear.... and it's all fresh wear...

i'll try to post pictures...

my car is going to be the jacky chan of cars... broke every thing at least one time...

**Spaz** · 01-04-2008, 06:11 AM

exhast hanger wear

trans mount bushing bolt wear

out put shaft wear...

they are all the same length in wear... could this be a broken motor mount letting my engine slide back almost a half inch?

they look fine...

can't really tell untill i get them out... stupid prothane ones are on back order...

**LETHALxLS1** · 01-04-2008, 01:13 PM

I would guess motor mount too. I have had the trans mount get a small rip that wasnt noticable until prying on it with a crow bar.
