When trying to start out in first gear it grinds loud, but then it enguages hard. all other gears enguage fine while driving, and their is no slipping..

If i need a new clutch, I'm looking at getting a ACT 2100 with Street disk as a replacement. let me know if you have any advice, thanks!

 

sounds like syncro issues, does the clutch hold under wot?

 

what is wot?

Like i said if i go from 1st to 2nd, ect grabs good, and it doesn't slip. Also are their any how to replace clutch guides out their, like what to remove in what order ect? if its syncro's, then its going to be, no fun at all to fix.. hehe

 

oh yea, it also makes the sound while not in gear, just in neutral at the engauge point is where it makes the grinding, thats while its not even in gear, could that be the throwout bearing?

 

WOT = Wide Open Throttle

 

sounds liek clutch TOB problems
installing a clutch isnt the easiest thing in the world if you dont knwo what your doing
i dont know if they have a how to on that
i got a stock clutch for an evo if you wanna buy one it will have a whole like 40 miles on it im gettin the car tomorrow and then im gonna get the clutch installed right away considering i already had it for my other evo

 

doesn't make any sounds wide open, only really when enguaging first. other gears you can't rear it because i more or less pop the clutch instead of feather it. i'll pass on the stock clutch, i'm ordering custom made brake rotors that are annoded black, and i was going to put on a act clutch while i have it on the lift, and pulling the rotors off to pull the tranny to put the clutch in. its not that i don't know how to do it, i just didn't know if their were some guides that told you what parts needed to be moved, having tips from someone that has done it helps a ton, instead of just pulling off more stuff then needed.
