Hey all, after taking the car to the machanic and finding out he was a complete dumb f*&k, I got the car to start. I can start it when ever I want, but I can't go any where.

I know there is a major issure with teh Clutch Area. Right now the motor is rebuilt, new pilot bearing, clutch, pressure plate, TB, RB aluminum flywheel and counter weight, and a rebuild slave cylinder. The tranny was rebuilt recently.

When I start the car and let it idle it makes a rattiling sound, but when I push the clutch pedal it goes away and every thing is fine, although you can feel a slight vibration if you rev to 4k. I put the car in gear and tried to start it, and the car moved. My pedal STILL sticks to the floor sometimes, especially if you hold it to the floor for a while.

I know that I am going to tow it back up to my moms house to drop the tranny, but is there anything in particular that I should look for?

Sounds like a problem with the hydraulics. Did you try bleeding the system?

yeah i agree with ed, hydraulics first

They have been bled, I will bleed them once more just to be sure. Other than leaking what should I look for with the hydraulics?

have someone watch the clutch fork move, when you push the pedal

It may be the front cover on the tranny working itself loose. If you have a bearing problem it could vibrate the bolts loose. The T/O bearing slides on the front cover.

Yeah the slave is moving the fork.

The fork itself could be the problem...I've heard of that happening. Also, mine did that when a spring on the clutch broke.

ok you get to pull it and see whats up

HELL YES, I get to take the car into the garage and take it apart AGAIN, damn I must be a dumb ass. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png Does this mean I win a prize https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

jim the animal bent his clutch fork, damm brute that he is

Sometimes, when the car sits for a while with bad hydro's, the clutch master cylinder will become corroded and not allow proper operation of the "plunger" @ the firewall

Even though the slave cylinder is moving the fork could it still be the hydraulics, cuz it the pedal was sticking to the floor before I installed all the new/rebuild stuff. And the only thing that is the same is the hydraulics and the clutch fork.

I still think its the front cover on the tranny. If that T/O bearing sticks it can pop the fork rite out. Once you take it down your gonna bug on how the fork is practically held on by a coathanger/spring retainer.

Well I found the problem. Two of the bolts had backed out of the counter weight (the bolts that hold the flywheel to the counterweight). After following Racingbeats directions perfectly, I AM pissed, I have to go check to see if the counter weight is all right or if it got fucked up as well.

Well I got the stat gear bolt tight not, the flywheel is bolted to the counter weight, this time using locktite, adn 48 ftlbs. Right now I am bolting on the clutch, and when I snug (not tighten) the pressure plate bolts it makes the fingers depressed, it is very noticeable , since one of the bolts is loose. The fingers adjacent to that bolt still stick out a lot.

My current set-up is a RacingBeat Aluminum flywheel, and I think a RP performance clutch and pressure plate.

I will go take a picture to visualize what I amn trying to say.
