ok listen to this

i think its the clutch... here are my symptoms
sometimes at a light ill be on neutral and when i shift to first the knob just wont move. like if it was locked.

however i can put it on first while the car is off and then turn it on and not let go of the clutch. (i can go into any gear when the car is off)

turning on its been making that really annoying noise.

OH! and it jumped on me today when i was backing out of somwhere. with the clutch in. Luckly i pulled my E-brake and didnt hit nothing.

i just want your opinion before i go and buy a new clutch for like 500 dollars. (there goes getting my supercharger installed before show)

im taking it to the shop tomorrow to get his opinion but hes the same guy that told me i dont need a intercooler for the supercharger. so yea....

the good thing is if i bring the peice he lets me do it myself on my days off and he just helps me. doesnt charge me anything. I did my header there last month like that.

Are you leaking any trans fluid?

Im betting its either the diff pin, throw out bearing or your clutch is BEYOND toasted.

[dream36realms]

search for clutches on EBAY should be under 100 dollars if you want a staged clutch streetrix has a good one. but 500 is alot

well ok, lets say this is the clutch. im putting the supercharger in (which now im going to get delayed.) should i go ahead and get a stage clutch instead of a OEM clutch.

[slowion2]

define stage clutch?

with that blower setup, I'd go with something that's at least 60% holding capacity over stock, that should narrow it down at least a little bit.

act all the way

SOunds like the clutch master and slave unit is bad if you can't get it into and gears while its moveing.



Is there any rattling noise from the trans mission? Like pieces of clutch getting thrown around?

[djgeo05]

yea... mostly when the car is stoped, when its moving or the car is off, its fine. but then when im slowing down and i try to downshift it will do it again. when i first turn on the car it also does it. when i have the cluth in and on first. neutral is fine, but if i turn on the car on nuetral ill have a hard time putting it on first. if i start the car on first it makes that noise.

[saturnspeed_12]

sounds to be clutch related. did you have the clutch engaged the whole time it was in neutral in the video, then disengaged it to put it in first? if so that makes me believe more its the clutch/throw out.
