Is my clutch going or gone Help Please
I think my clutch just started slipping....it seems like the plate is slipping at 2k and 3k when torque is needed. It's like you can hear it make like a grinding type noise then it will engage. Could it be I just need fluid or is it going bad?
Thanks

It works fine as far as engagement is concerned. it just starts to slip between 2-3k on the tach when applying torque. and It just started happening. The fluid is filled I havent changed the any of the tranny fluids.

Just take it easy until you replace it, so you don't burn the flywheel.
Since budget is a factor, check out www.rotaryresurrection.com
He usually has some good salvage parts.

Would you take the brake pads off another FC just because you didnt want to go get new ones?

Unless you REALLY need to because of time or money constraints don't put used clutch parts in, it will mean you have to do the job twice, and it's not a fun job.

If you plan to keep it for the long haul, or are paying labor - yes.
If you are a broke DIY person, or plan to trade in a year (like me), then used parts are a good value
