well it happened. My car decided to break down today. After pushing my car an easy quarter mile i stopped at a parking lot and my car grew a nice puddle underneath it. The liquid is clear like brake fluid so i check the clutch fluid resevior and it is empty. I decide to top it off and it runs right out the bottom of the car.... so I either have a busted line or a seal went bad on my slave... I ordered a replacement clutch (still isnt here, ghey) i just went with a valeo clutch and flywheel type deal. the reason i got one was because my clutch was slipping and it made noise when the pedal was pushed in. My thoughts were the TOB was going out causing it to not disengage when it was supposed to, so i decided to do it all. Im starting to wonder if my clutch was improperly bleed or the slave was bad, if it would cause the clutch to not disengage and slip. along with slippage would i hear noise with the clutch pushed in doing a free rev? It "whines" reving up and down when the clutch in but not with it out.
also when doing a clutch does anyone replace the fork that holds the TOB? i figure that COULD also be a problem. Im thinking the trans should be fine *crosses fingers* Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


sorry if this runs on im angry

 

idk about those noises man, sounds weird...

how much that valeo clutch a fw running you?
if you can back out id consider clutchmasters... thats just me though

 

^cant afford it right now I have way to many expenses to afford a performance clutch. The whole deal was 500 shipped. Now im going to have to buy and slave cylinder or clutch line and that is 90 for a slave and around 130 for the line. Plus install if i chose not to do it myself. So ya, kind of an expensive spurt of the moment purchase.

 

well after 2 days of my car sleeping in a parking lot im able to avoid a tow fee. Got my friends 1 car trailer and i will be making my adventure back home where im going to replace the clutch.

 

my vote is for throw out bearing on the weird noise/vibration. I don't see any reason for the forked piece to be bad, but the bearing itself might be developing some play.

 

The 02M fork shouldnt have any issues. The crappy 02J will go to hell with above 7k shifting. Most likely your hunches

 

works for me.. Hopefully i have it all done this time next week. I have only been without it for a day and i miss it.
