Well, I spent a majority of my week off working on the car, mainly because it was hot as hell and I’m getting old.
Turns out it failed the same way as the one previous to it.
1 year ago clutch failed:
Replacement clutch after one year of use:
Needless to say I told them I wanted cash refund and not a 3rd clutch. All were under warranty.
So after Autozone did some stupid discounts on my refund and cheated 23 dollars I didn’t get back, I went to Oreilly’s and bought theirs. Same price, same warranty, but hopefully it lasts a little longer. It seems that the duralast clutch doesn’t handle extra HP very well. Hopefully if it fails again I’ll step up to a DF clutch. I just didn’t have the 400 to get one.
It seems that the stiffness I experienced at g18 was the spring stuck behind the pressure plate forks.
Here’s the Oreilly’s clutch.
I’m finally getting it back together. It only took 2-3 days. :-\
Its working fine not, but since I didn’t drive it for 2 weeks things aren’t working like they should. I had a misfire that seems to have worked itself out. The bank 2 o2 sensor isn’t making a good connection so I’ll have to work on those before the cruise.
