Default Is this possible.

Somthing's inside my bell housing getting kicked around and im not too sure what it is. A new clutch was installed and to me it sounds like one of the springs on the preasure plate broke off and is getting kicked around. Just wondering is this has happened to anyone before.

What kind of clutch is it? If it's a RAM, then it's probably one of the disk springs that has broken.

I dont know what it is but mine is doing the same thing, it is an old type (yellow) spec stage 4 but I am going back with a new stage 4 again, new clutch should be here next week, and I will post on what it is. I dont know if its the same, to me it sounds like bee bee's bouncing around in the bell housing. and some one told me that it has to do with the pressure plate, and that Spec has a redisigned pressure plate and this should not happen.

this thing is the new blue one and dosent even have 1k miles on. If one of the preasure plate springs were to let go, would it be safe to run without one of them, I really cant afford to drop 450 on another clutch; least not right now.

One of my bolts to the slave cylinder backed out somehow, and ended up getting thrown through the top of the bellhousing. It didn't go all the way through, but I had to forcefully pull it out. HTF???

I hope its just a bolt and not something that broke off the preasure plate, or slave.
