haha sorry. i just had to throw that in there. i drive an auto. so i wouldn't know anything about this. i just had to throw my .02 in there. but good luck on figuring out what's going on!

 

thats weak i can get most of 2nd and chirp 3rd pretty good with a 100 shot lol

 

ya mine stopped chirping too. turns out that the hamster on the wheel turning my engine fell of and died. I went to the pet store and got a new one. little bastard chirps like crazy now!

 

**** i floord it in 1st and i think i felt it sliping. like it felt no where near as fast as it was, even in the higher rpms.

worst case scenario what parts will i have to buy? just a friction plate? if so **** it ill just buy like a stage 1 or 2 clutch

 

If your just rolling along real slow in 1st gear and you floor it, does it accelerate slower than the engine sounds like it should be(engine sounds fast compared to car speed)or does it spin the tires?

If it doesnt spin the tires, or the revs kinda flair up a little bit(or a lot) before the car really accelerates then youve got a clutch slipping.... Youll need a new one. Not a simple or quick repair

You MAY be able to get it warrantied because its so low mileage, but I would take off the header before you went in.....(maybe even youre upper mount, and wing, and have mom bring it in....)

 

definitly feels like the engines reving way quicker than im actualy acceling.

and ****......i need a whole new clutch? can i just buy an aftermarket one? like

bump please

first one to diagnose my problem gets a cookie!

ok 2 cookies

 

car gunna blow.lawl kidding

 

ur sooooo funny.

 

Sorry man, def sounds like youve got a whooped clutch.

The link you provided is for a clutch kit, thats what youll need.

 

thats not too horrible of a price. and if i have to replace my clutch why not get a higher stage

 

Getting a "stage" clutch is fine, just know that that pedal will likely get harder to push.

The clutch itself is the cheap part. You need to get it installed 8 hours shop tome, minimum.(8hrs x $xxx = )

 

im fine with a harder pedal to push but realy you think my clutch is toast after 3k miles?

and grooooooossssssss **** labor. is it that hard to do?

 

Installing a clutch is easy. If you've done it before.

Are you mechanically inclined? If not then don't try it. And I'm talking about doing actual work not installed springs, cai, etc.

It's really not that hard...just use common sense and follow the manual. And EIGHT hours.... Damn. A Dodge Ram cummins transmission only took me 6 hours by myself.

 

mechanically inclined yes. tools/lift...... not quite avalible. and all ive done so far is header, dp ,exhaust, engine mounts, tranny mounts

 

Is that ALL you've done since you've been around cars I meant. I've done everything except rebuild a motor(rebuilt a transmission though) and I still do not like replacing clutches as its a delicate operation. All you need is a good set of jacks and jack the sucker up...cramped, but doable.

 

done physically yes, but i feel i have a pretty good grasp on things but i know i cant learn everything from a txt book, hands on is definitely needed. i mean ive changed oil, balanced tires, chaged a starter, other tedious things like that. nothing big like replacing a head or breaks, or anything like that

 

wow, how old is this kid haha

 

Hes really young, but a good kid.



ilovecars, youre gona need to take the Balt in....its not really a driveway repair man. Try what I suggested first, put it back cloer to stock and have your mom or dad bring it in....

 

im sorry but that is the most retarded thing i've seen today on this site..

less tread on street tires does not equal better traction

the reason slicks have great traction is because of the rubber compound they use. since its unlikely to be drag racing in the rain, tread is not needed. this increases surface area + super sticky rubber compound = awesome grip.

street tires with less tread = less traction.

 

Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo!!!

im not taking it in again. i hate letting people work on my car. its not that serious of a slip, if it even is a slip it could just be in my head im going to do this one thing blazzing07 said to do then my uncles coming over today so illl see what he has to say about it

 

Hate to break it to you. But the way you said it chirped when you slammed it. Matter of time.

Best bet is put it to stock best you can(even meaning taking off those mounts) and have your parents take it in. Lesson learned...slamming gears is harsh on the clutch this isn't a NSF car or a heavily built transmission. And from the sounds of it no offense you still may not have enough wrench time to attempt a clutch install.

 

yea i know that i need to get a job at a garage. i have one once im 17 but stupid laws say you have to be 17. so yea untill i have enough money and experience ill just take it easy and not WOT it.

 

I don't even like doing it for customers. Which is why I got out of that field and only work on my own.

 

lol well ill get a taste of what its like hopefully ill love it like i think i will. working on cars is like my drug

 

I thought the same thing...working on your car and customers all day is two different things. Your car is most of the time fun. Yeah customers cars you get paid...but just wait until you get some of the work. Then you'll find out what they mean by yo-yos. I've had two yo-yos out of my whole career. Camshaft seals leaked(got twisted) on a head job I did(2 hour unpaid fix) and a CEL came on for a pinched wire on a passenger side airbag recall on the Dodge vans. Even though I pointed out the giant FOOTPRINT on the dash(which caused it) I still had to take everything off. That's a 6 hour task for first timers, and still got me 4 1/2 hours unpaid work.
