Well out of nowhere my clutch went. I put a new ACT clutch in about three days ago and it drove fine. But just today it started making weird noises and stuff. When i start off in 1st gear it shakes the car a lil. And then everytime i shift then hit the gas (or just when i am driving and let off the gas, and then hit the gas again) it feels like something slams and the car shakes a lil. And also there is a sound when i accelerate like i have a turbo spooling or something, which i do not have haha. Almost like a whinding sound, most noticeable accelerating in second gear.

BUMP
Ok well this is just not my month i guess. I never got an e-mail back so i bought a stock motor mount, i did not want to drive my car that long with it in that condition. The motor mount i said was ruined is fixed and the bang noise is gone, drives much much better, big difference. As for the winding noise, it turns out that my tranny drain plug came out, and i was driving with no gear oil in my tranny. When the guy did my clutch he must not have tightened it and it fell out (just like my motor mount bolt), but i saw him put in three quarts of gear oil so i know it was at in there to begin with. I bought a new drain plug and put in some good synthetic gear oil, and now the noises are gone. So all of the weird noises i posted about are gone, BUT, i have a new one. I heard a noise when i was slowing down, like "waint a waint a waint waint a" as my tire turns(front left). Doesnt make the noise when i jack it up and let the wheel turn in 1st gear, only when on the ground. And i took my brakes all apart to check for like a rock or something and nothing. The only reason this noise does not bother me too much is because i jacked the car up to look for the noise, and saw my drain plug gone. So this noise essentailly saved my tranny..........And this officially makes JUNE 2005 the worst month since i have had my car. |
