clutch or throw out bearing???? I am pissed to say the least.. Take the car out today she runs fine with the new trans. I am like sweet. So I take her out again tonight runs fine at first, Go down NW EXPWAY to Warr Acres area next thing car starts acting like ****. I hear some strange noise and viberation coming from the clutch. Cant get her into gear most of the time had to fight to do so. Had to fight to get it home now she sits. I want to put a rag in the tank and set afire..... :sadno: I think and hope that its the throw out bearing. When sitting still (as in parked) I can push the clutch in and change gears with no problem. No if I am driving and have to stop at a light as on the way home I had to fight to get into 1st then rev the **** outta it then it would clunk and jump before starting to go.. I do hope its not the damn clutch, I just put that FKN thing in the car in mid DEC and broke it in like it was suposed to be.
FK FKFKFKFK I am pissed.
GOtta pull that MFR again and then some ASAP. There goes my plans for SUN or any of next week.

Spec 3 clutch installed Mid Dec 07 by a transmission Shop in Hawaii. Do believe its the clutch. Think something got seized up some how.
Started the car today after checking every fluid (which where good) she ran for a min. heard a noise and then she shut off on me.
Thought WTF and restarted it heard noise coming from clutch area and it shut off again.
Gonna do dinner and get ready for work then if time start to pull everthing apart again...
At first I thought the throw out bearing as well. but since then and finding out this new stuff I would say that is not the case

clutch pedal feel is normal?? if so i doubt its the throw out bearing.. it might be the pilot bearing... definitely have to pull the tranny to see for sure though..
