about a week ago i had my clutch replaced do to tear and wear .. just yesterday i was driving my evo going at a moderate speed 35 mph. all of a sudden the lights on the dash tarmac gravel and snow light up and the car just stalls luck was on my part i was able to pull into a recidential area. my question is was the job done wrong?????

 

i wouldnt think your clutch had anything to do with your ACD pump ?

 

u have a point there but im curious how this happens right after a repair

 

The pump may just need to be flushed, do you know if your ACD pump has ever been serviced in the past?

 

im not sure i just recently got my evo

 

well the good news is.. if it is your ACD pump.. u can just take that **** off hahahaha...

 

well wehatever it is i hope i dont have to pay an arm and a leg for it lol

 

If you're not familiar with how to service the car, I would take it to the nearest shop that has experience with Evolutions and have them flush the pump. If that doesn't work you'll probably need a new pump.

The acd line on top of the t case has to come off when replacing the clutch, so it probably jus needs the air bled out. As for the car stalling I have no idea?

 

This problem certainly could be related to the clutch install being done wrong. Sure the ACD system is separate from the clutch, but the ACD has to be bled during the process of taking the tranny out and changing the clutch. Yes, I know there are ways to change the clutch without bleeding the ACD, but in most service manuals bleeding the ACD is instructed. I would take the car back to the shop that did the install. They may not have refilled the ACD system, or they could have used the wrong type of fluid (uses automatic transmission fluid).

 

The pump may have failed sure but the car stalling is weird, shouldnt have had that effect at all. Were you able to restart it and drive home? Are all 3 ACD lights on?

If you just removed the pump the rear diff and centre diff will always be open which is not good. Not sure if the guy who suggested that was implying all that needed to be sorted but it does of course.

Theres also a good how to rebuild your pump thread here and if you cant manage it at home a half decent shop should be able to. Beats paying 2K+ for a new one.

 

I was able to start up the car but it wont go over 10mph and yes all 3 acd light are on

 

car won't go over 10mph... that's certainly an issue..... should have no connection to the pump.

 

Would it be possible that the tranny is no good?

 

Was it just down on power so it wouldnt really drive or would it not rev over a certain rpm?
