this is pretty crazy...
I performed a cardinal sin by not checking my tranny before I put it in beause I thought it looked clean but after i got it running and had driven it for about 50 miles The clutch felt funny and made a noise every once in awhile and it was nothing out of the ordinary because ive been driving stick for a long time and knew that the clutch was on its way out but was still drivable,then one day on the way home from work i hear a "knock a ping ping" and then a sound that felt like it lhit the car but I know NOTHING couldve actually hit the car. A few weeks later I buy a clutch and am in the process of taking the bellhousing off I find this...

Pretty crazy huh Im thinking itwas a rivet that the flywheel knocked loose and shot that F'er out of there...what do you guys think?

chlatboy · 08-10-2005, 10:25 AM

Nice hole. I cant think of anything inside your tranny that could do that unless its some sort of foreign object that shouldnt be there.

SimpleSexy180 · 08-10-2005, 10:33 AM

ouch! OWNED! hope you find a new transmission

bboyt3nsk · 08-11-2005, 01:54 PM

lol nope thats some good old fashion ventilation!

It ende dup being 3 fingers broke off the pressure plate and did some major damage in there...which totally explains all the clutch chatter,lol

95Blue240sx · 08-11-2005, 04:41 PM

Whoa thats crazy. No other damage? Flywheel ok? i want ventilation!

bboyt3nsk · 08-11-2005, 04:49 PM

those fingers went every where in there and tore shit up.the flywheel, luckily, only needs to be turned down a little

Would anyone be able to tell me what kind of clutch disk that is in the pic...because I KNOW thats not stock

Al_S14 · 08-11-2005, 07:44 PM

hard to tell who makes thta tclutch unless it is stamped on it but one thing i can tell you is chatter you were having is normal with discs like this bc disc/plate combos like that allow very limited slipage ... it wasnt the pressure plate.

420sx · 08-11-2005, 08:52 PM

u can still weld that hole up. unless theres damage beyond just a hole. 30 bux at a weld shop

bboyt3nsk · 08-11-2005, 11:06 PM

Hmm I didnt even think link the chatter to the clutch harshness...I forgot about that...
I think ill just let the hole be. Its not that big of a deal and its small. I thought it would also cost more to get patche dup!

FRpilot · 08-11-2005, 11:15 PM

it looks like exedy stage 2 for sr off the top of my head, but it could be any type of 3puck clutch disk. maybe it looks like exedy stage 2 to me because thats the only 3 puck ive seen/recall off the top of my head for SR

bboyt3nsk · 08-12-2005, 08:30 AM

I was looking around and I thought it looks like a Cusco rocket clutch disk or metal reinforced disk

It does look like an exedy

SilviaNinja240 · 08-13-2005, 01:41 AM

OH SNAP! (no pun intended, kinda)

hope that it`s nothing too serious to patch up, unless there is some other mystery damage

***S14DB*** · 08-13-2005, 07:33 AM

Learn how-to down shift properly?

bboyt3nsk · 08-14-2005, 06:56 PM

yeah the clutch was on the way out, like I said before. It was just a matter of time. I drive dump trucks for a side job, I know how to drive stick.

**mrmephistopheles** · 08-14-2005, 07:55 PM

meh i wouldn't even worry about the hole. If anything, JB Weld it.
grab a new disk and plate, get your flywheel resurfaced, and call it a day.

***S14DB*** · 08-14-2005, 07:58 PM

Yeah that Dump truck that downshifted and jerked droping gravel on my hood on the road...

This is what i found when i pulled my trans off. That stupid little spring was catching on the diaphragm spring on the pressure plate. Even if i pushed the clutch all the way in, the clutch assembly would not disengage. That little spring was able to transfer all the power of a KA to the drivetrain - crazy sh!t.

JB Weld, my friend.
