So clutch issue with the Evo:
4th gear pull to redline, when I went to shift for coasting, the pedal was vibrating. After I shifted into neutral, I had no clutch pressure (Vibrating pedal was continuing, but the pedal would go to the floor without resistance). After rolling up to a stoplight, I pumped the clutch in neutral and regained pressure and got it into first. From there I clutchless shifted until I got home, but had no clutch pressure in gear. In neutral I did have clutch pressure.
Halp?
Clutch is an ACT HD with Fidanza flywheel. 20k+ miles.
It's been hard to get into gear from stopped since I've owned it.

 

Certainly no clutch expert (i run the same clutch BTW). Wouldnt a clutch bleed be in order?

Maybe thats the issue

 

Per my old tuner, release popped out

 

If the release popped out how would pumping the system allow you to shift into first? If this happened wouldnt it not allow this to happen? I've always used mono-loc's so I never ran into this problem.

 

I didn't ever get the clutch to actuate, regardless of pumping. I applied pressure on the shifter into first and it started rolling (didn't go into gear) until I was on a downslope and then rev matched to get into fully.

 

Gotcha, makes sense. Yeah, sounds like the clip popped off. Good luck to you.

 

That pic does not look like the TOB came out of the pressure plate.

 

From my understanding, this is what a clutch fork stop ....stops.

 

Use a monoloc wedge collar !

 

An ACT monoloc callor is much better for keep the TOB in the pressure plate. However, your TOB does not appear to have popped out. The clutch fork is pretty close to straight sticking out of the trans. When the TOB pops out, the slave cylinder fully extends, and shoves the part of the shift fork you can see all the way towards the engine.

 

My guess would be you shed a piece of the disc. But, no matter, a clutch is fixed with the transmission off.

 

That's what's actually happening. The picture doesn't give the orientation very well.

 

In that case pull the slave and give the throw out arm a yank and see if it will snap back in. If no, drop the transmission.

 

had it actually popped out, and you kept pumping, the pedal would have gone stiff. If you had tried to pump more it likely would have blown the slave cylinder.

I had a correctly adjust stop on my car, and it still popped out on me one day. Monoloc went in upon re-install.

 

Update: The clutch disintegrated. A spring came off the ACT and the rivets broke.

Installed Exedy Stage 1 HD (05830HD) and a monoloc for good measure.

Now the car won't really engage 2, 4, or R. It does actually engage (90% of the time) and will drive in those gears, but it feels like it only shifts halfway into the gear. As though it's an extremely short throw or that the linkage isn't fully engaging.

When the car is off, it shifts fine. Thinking either clutch isn't disengaging (only why would that only affect the bottom gears?) or that the linkage wasn't installed properly when reassembled..

Thoughts?
