    Throwout Bearing/ Year & Installation?

    I'm so disappointed with this SPEC clutch. My friend bought one at the same time i did, and his car wouldn't go into gear after installing it, they pulled it apart 3 times and it still wouldn't work. They're getting a refund. This is a great clutch, It's this tapping noise that's getting to...

    Transmission Install, Weld nuts to starter?

    well, that's why i would get a alluminum nut from a hardware store that matches the threads. If i do that, would it be ok? it wouldn't kill the starter, would it?

    Transmission Install, Weld nuts to starter?

    I had an idea to make installing my transmission alot easier. Since it's such a huge pain to bolt up the top bolt on the starter... I figured just welding the nuts to the starter, Then all i have to do it screw them in rather than trying to get a wrench on the back side of the nut to tighten it...

    Throwout Bearing/ Year & Installation?

    What throwout bearing are u using? I'm using the old style throwout bearing, and i think that's my problem. I'm going to reinstall it with the later style bearing and see if it fixes my problem.

    Throwout Bearing/ Year & Installation?

    lol, Yeah i think he's right. I thought it was, it wouldn't be safe to put down more than 350whp. That's pretty awesome, if it's holdin' up with that much power!

    Throwout Bearing/ Year & Installation?

    It's really weird, Isn't it? It wasn't doing it until after 60 miles of driving. Replace your transmission and tell me if it fixed it, LOL. I don't see how it could be the transmission, I don't get it. I'm going to use this different bearing and see if it fixes it.

    Test Drive on SPEC Clutch Problem!!!

    Some machine shops may be able to resurface the pressure plate. Most Any machine shop will resurface the Flywheel, And that will make both surfaces smooth, shiny, and spotless. If you have an O'reilly Auto Parts in you area they do an excellent job and include a warranty if it cracks after or...

    I pulled it apart tonight, I pulled the transmission and everything looks fine. The pressure plate splines are all aligned and everything looks fine. Could a messed up Throw bearing cause alot of clanking with the clutch depressed? Everything is brand new except the throw bearing, Should i use...
