My poor car is putting me to the test this week. I'm driving around today and start heading up this large hill in third gear, when it's obvious that my clutch is slipping. I've adjusted the cable out before and essentially if my foot even gets close to the clutch pedal, the clutch slips. In fact I have to be mindful of my shoe laces since the weight of them seems to cause slippage.
I'm going to look at it once more tomorrow, but I think I'll have to bite the bullet and pull the tranny. And to think I was getting all gung ho upgrade my control arm & trailing arm bushings. Looking at the Pelican site, they have a "Super Kit" for the low, low price of $387.75. Which includes the following: New Pressure Plate New 911 Clutch Disc New Throw-out Bearing New Pilot Bearing and Felt Ring 2 Throw-out Bearing Guide Clips New Throw-out Fork Bushing 2 CV Joint Gaskets 2 Muffler Gaskets New Flywheel O-Ring New Flywheel Bolts New Flywheel Metal Crush Gasket Clutch Disc Alignment Tool Flywheel/crankshaft seal not included - check yours first before ordering. Is this overkill? Anything else needed? |

Finally a close up of the grooves in the flywheel. Plus you can see the machining marks. Why would the clutch/flywheel wear so unevenly?? It didn't appear that it was into the rivets on this side, but they weren't far off.
If I get this resurfaced, is there anything special I need to do when I reinstall it? Attached image(s) |
