Hello all,
Having an issue with the ST.... I can shift under normal conditions easiely without issue. Now the problem I'm experiancing only comes into effect during heavy load. RPMS will shoot up to about 3.8 - 4.2k and hold there while the car slowly accelerates...I of course don't hold it like that, but I have once or twice to see the outcome. Usually it gives off a foul smell, which I can only assume is the clutch cooking. This will even happen lets say i'm in 2nd gear, going about 25, if I hit half throttle, it'll do it, but progressive gas is has no issue... My clutch has always been high I guess you could say on the pedal, basically it doesn't do its work until its all the way to the top of the pedal release...I thought maybe there is an easy adjustment, and my pedal just couldn't be engaging everything correctly, but I have no found the means to adjust it..if that is even viable. These are all assumptions as I havn't dug into the internals persay of the vehicle...so alot of this will be quite the learning exp. Any help in the right direction is appreciated, i'm trying to avoid taking it to a shop, as I know they'll hurt the wallet....but i've also helped change a clutch before, and with plenty of searching on here, i'm sure I could complete the task...just not sure what is broke. |

No you never resurface the pressure plate, you resurface the flywheel. the plate and disk both get replaced
