Thread: Burned out clutch

I'll give that a look tomorrow. I can't take it apart until Friday...it's my only day off from work.

you dont have to take it off to do so...theres an adjuster nut and wheel on the clutch cable...just south of the air intake look down below the distributor youll see a cable attached to an arm...turn the adjsuter wheel clockwise a few rotations being careful to note that the whole cable isnt turning with it....try it after that...sounds like a loose cable or my problem...some rivet came outta my pressure plate and was dancing around in there jamming up causing my clutch not to disengage

lol i just had similar problems.. an when i'd start the car in gear it would buck..



that was the culprit..

but it could be a clutch cable too

what mods do you have, clutch choice is really going to depend on the mods you may already have or the mods you are or want to have

if i got a dollar for every spring ive seen pop out a sr clutch i would be rich!!!! has that happen to me 2 times ... im a pro at this point on taking off sr transmissions

yea im gettin pretty good myself lol

I have new headers, exhaust, aem intake, 8lbs flywheel, and a stage 1 clutch. Also a short shifter.

Update: I just checked out the clutch cable, it seems to be working fine. But I noticed the clutch arm isn't budging. So I think it's a spring as well. I'm going to take the day off of work to get it checked out.

if the clutch arm isnt budging make sure u dont have a **** ton of slack in the cable

Yeah, I checked the cable, tightened it and still no go.

Something my friend noticed though...He turned the car off, put it into gear and then turned the car on. Even with the clutch fully depressed, the wheels were still spinning. Now we're thinking it may be an engagement problem. Possibly something wrong with the throwout mech.

the disc is broken an your prolly got a spring out, i just had this problem, i'd start my car in gear, clutch pushed all the way in, the car would jerk an buck, it wouldnt want to shift or come out of gear.. all kinds of bad things.. anyways its time to take the tranny off.. its easy
