So looks like its time for a transmission rebuild.
1. Bad Vibration in 5th gear
2. Grinding between 4th and 5th
3. Some grinding from 2nd to 3rd
4. Throw out bearing making a lot of noise even when in gear
My clutch is holding but has around 25,000 miles on it and is a exedy stage 1.
So just looking for some advice hear. My car is manly a street car that i enjoy but I don’t want to brake the bank on this. Any advice is welcome.

 

Shep is the best for transmission work. I had mine rebuilt two years ago and I've put it through some hell.

As far as clutch...we all know this is highly debated but I've read and seen a lot of good reviews on the new competition street clutch. It's their 3000lb pressure plate and street disc. VERY affordable and holds up well to repeated abuse. I have their twin but I considered this clutch before I rebuilt my twin.

 

I would have shep do the trans

 

Yeah i know a lot of guys are going to say twin disk and to be truthfull i would love to run one but after shipping and rebuilding the trans i dont know if i can drop another 1600 on a twin right now as much as i would love too. On top of that i dont beat on my car that often and only go to the track maybe once or twice a year.

 

Shep built my 5 spd & I am about to send him my T-case. In regards to the clutch I suggest asking whoever builds your trans what they recommend. Most of them will have certain clutches they recommend & work best under the tranmission builders warranty. If you are spending that much $$ on a transmission I would do just about everything they recommend, clutch, fluid, break-in, etc. You may save some $$ going with a cheaper clutch but you could be doing more harm on the trans then you know.

 

Yeah I wasn't suggesting a twin. I was just saying thats what I have. And since you have a Exedy stage 1 I figured you weren't the kind of person who took your car to the track much.

BTW the Competition twin is nowhere near $1600....more like $1100

 

Just got my t-case done! Kind of unexpected and was a bit disappointed cause I had other things I wanted to do but it all happens for a reason!

 

Shep trans

 

best bet while tranny is out, get it built by shep. awesome work. and do a exedy triple ceramic clutch. its worth the money and u cant go wrong with that clutch it will last you. im installing mine this week. tranny is out now!! gl

 

I don't think he want to spend $2000 on a clutch...

 

^^^^
LOL very true. I am trying to stay away from a twin disk if i can get away with it.

 

Call Competition and ask them about their 3000lb pressure plate street clutch kit.

 

English racing is all you need. You can get your transmission rebuilt and pick up a new comp clutch from them at the same time.
