or if you see one on Ebay

 

f.u.c.k him by the trany dude

 

wow... sounds like what i was possibly about to go through as well... i have a friend who is a pretty good mechanic in my eyes, but as i read this horror story i could totally picture the exact same thing happening to me! looks like i will be saving up ~500 for the install now cuz i think im too scared to attempt this on our own...

 

ah.. and wrc cars are nothing like the street cars other than similar exterior.. rally cars are made to be serviced quick.

 

You know you have to get the clutch plate seated down on the flywheel completely before torquing it down, right? Otherwise, that 13 ft-lbs won't even get the clutch fingers compressed.

 

i'll be babying my clutch from now on and saving up the $500 for when i need to take in to a PROFESSIONAL.

 

ok for all those who were in doubt of it...its done and it runs fine. Only problem i have is the reverse light wont come on when in R...the temp is all the way down in C i guess cuz the coolant hasnt flowed throughout the engine yet? had to bleed the clutch...i cant feel the pull that well, might be loose throttle cable, i think tires are a lil deflated from sittin around and umm...needs a wash desperately inside n out. No SES light so thats always a great thing. Thanks to the few of you that helped out!

 

good to hear bro!

 

thx!

 

Check the wire that runs to the reverse light switch. Also check the wire that runs to the coolant temperature sensor. They're probably not connected. Good to hear you got that thing running!

 

dude i'm sorry that happened... i was planning on doing the clutch myself... now i have 2nd thoughts

 

where are the reverse lamp wires and the coolant temp wires??

 

i, once again thank EvoM members for helping me out in my time of need. IF it wasnt for this site, i'm more than sure this car wouldnt be running right now. If my Throttle cable isnt the cause of me not being able to feel the "pull" around 3500rpm, what else would it be? Cuz when i take off i kinda give it a lil punch to about 3000rpm to see if it pulls hard like before, but it doesnt. No G forces felt. What could be the cause besides maybe a loose throttle cable? BTW, the clutch feels WAY diff, i actually stalled! I let off the clutch about 1.5 inches and boom shut off i was like whoa! Before, wit my old clutch that i was used to, i could let off about 4 inches and then start givin it some gas. Feels different but great. Just wanna get to the problem of why im not feeling the pull i should in a evo wit a brand new clutch.

 

Reverse light switch is circled in red:


#9 is the water temp switch:

 

this helps... where does each of the plugs start from? liek the reverse light switch, i know where it goes, but where does the line start? same with the temp, thx for the pics btw it helps a lot
