Sad sad day...

Well went to bleed my clutch and before i did anything my friend pushed my clutch in and it was ROCK solid...never the less he pushed till it moved and now its sooo "limp" it just hangs there cant get into any gears..so Fred of SMG was so kind to bring his trailer up to pick it up and bring it to his shop. wont know whats wrong till next week but oh well fred will hook me up. SMG Autosports is AWESOME!


^^Fred under the car hooking up the rope.

Also got my new plates today! w00t.



They wing looks horrid from the back but fred is also painting my rear SS bumper as well so i will have the full SS kit. I may get the rear lip and mold it on once funds allow

I have spec stage 2. The clutch itself is perfect but all the vendors advertise the cavy clutch as the cobalt and there NOT the same. The cavy bearing that comes with the clutch is ever so slightly different then the cobalt which causes the clutch to engage randomly. Reason for bleeding was to get some air out from the cause of having the wrong bearing in there. freds installing my OEM bearing as thats whats included with a new clutch for our cars. I may jsut buy a new OEM to throw in there if i can find the part #.

That sucks

Fred is awesome for doing that, I was just up there a few days ago getting my projectors installed. I also had him install my clutch before that!

I hope you get your balt fixed soon.

I believe you have or your friend has pushed your clutch master cylinder through the firewall. This is not a cheap fix. My car is in the shop right now. Here is my post of the problem. There is also another post from sneaky (Post 15) about his when it went in my post.
