Clutch Questions ASAP
My throwout bearing is rattling like crazy and its getting worse by the minute. I'm going to purchase a clutch tonight and wanted to know if anyone had any input on these types. They're all on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EXED... 777QQrdZ1Exedy OE Clutch. This would be the one I'm interested in because its name brand but at the same time why not go with and upgraded one while I'm at it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XTD-... 26185QQrdZ1XTD Stage 3. Looks good. Not sure about quality.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-R...> 30960QQrdZ1F1 Racing Stage 3. Not well known. Looks good as well.


I do have mediocre modifications that will soon be more but I will not have over 275 horses any time soon.

Thanks.

posting a *working*link is really easy dude, rightclick or double click the text in the location bar (http://blablabla.com/bla.htm) then copy and paste

 

I cannot view the link but I have used the exedy oe clutch in my non-tubo and it was a very good clutch, had a nice bite to it also.

 

Does anyone know an estimated price of labor for clutch replacement? I definitely dont have the time so I'm taking it to a shop. Thanks.

 

The price at a shop will be ridiculous. I just got finished replacing the pilot and throw out with some friends last night. Pain the ***. Eithery way, stay away from the stage 3. Thats what I have and its just a pain. And a throw out bearing shouldnt be rattling...it should be whining. What is making you think its the throw out?

 

around here a clutch job would be about 500 bucks

 

Its a combination of whinning and rattling. I looked for hours last night in the archives and everyone says a different thing. Replace the Tranny, Replace the clutch, get syncros replaced. Its making a loud grinding/whinning in every gear except 4th. And its gotten progressively worse over the past 3 days. It does it in neutral though without the clutch pressed. When I press it the sound goes away and sounds perfect. I just changed the fluid to Lucas 90/145 at the beginning of this month. I'm hoping by some miracle I left the drain plug or filler plug a little loose and its slowly leaked out. Either way I'll know tomorrow when I jack it up and find out if there's any fluid in the damn thing. Thanks for the input and keep it coming.

Trans Fluid seems to be fine. Anyone have a low mileage tranny for sale???

 

Maybe this will help you.
