I just put in a lot of work on my car over the last couple of days. I installed my Pro-Kit Springs, got a tune up, replaced my worn clutch, and had my flywheel resurfaced. Unfortunately, other than the smoother ride from my springs, my car is simply not performing like it used to. I feel like it has more trouble accelerating and getting to higher speeds like it did before I put the work in. I have to push in all the way on the gas to get anywhere fast. Plus there is this aweful scratching noice I hear whenever I'm about to shift gears. I think I got screwed over on the clutch job, but I don't know what to do.

Well, I took a look and found a few bolts that were loose and my transmission mount was not firm either. After a little tightening up, things sounded a little better, but I guess I'll still give it about a month until I figure out if it's just not broken in. I know it's not slipping though... at least I'm pretty sure.
Anyway, maybe I'll just look for chicks for about 300 miles until I break it in. lol |
