^ Above you will notice a link to my photobucket, this is were the pictures are located. Please look at the pictures and please tell me what you think.


Do you think my clutch is still good?

This is a textralia 0z700 with a bullet steel flywheel. The clutch has ~6,000 miles on it. I have a problem with my hydraulics (stock hydraulics with the drill mod done to it), it won't let me shift the car a WOT and I guess I have or had air in my system. So in turn my built (it has the 1a rebuild kit from cough*t56rebuilds.com*cough) T-56 just took a dump on me. It grinds going into 3rd gear and it likes to get stuck in 4th gear.

So please help another brother from another mother out!


Tell me what you are think and if you have any more questions.

Also I love this clutch I like how it feels and drives.

Thanks

It definately has some wear on it but as long as its not slipping and you get the hydraulic issue figured out, it should be ok for a while.

3/4 Keys or 3/4fork (or both) issue, maybe 3/4 synchro (but synchro normally would not allow it get hung up in a gear) and that is why I say keys/fork

Run it as is if it was working.

If you were to machine the flywheel, you'd want to also machine the PP surface.
