In July my clutch started slipping so i had it replace with and Exedy stage 1 but when i had it done i didn't have my flywheel resurfaced. A couple months later my clutch started slipping again. It got so bad that that the clutch wouldn't grab til about 4k rpm and i would pretty much have to dump it to get it to pull out. I stopped driving the car til i had time to rip it apart and look at everything. I'm pretty sure me not having the flywheel resurfaced when the clutch was changed is why it started slipping again. How do you guys think these components look?

 

looks like you did a lot of 4k clutch dumps...

 

After that much abuse and slippage, replace everything.

 

+1 change everything also remember use new flywheel bolts i had to learn the hard way when mine backed out not worth pulling your trans twice for $30 bolts
good luck

 

Hey evokid4life ....

Did you use Locktite when you installed the used bolts? And were they torqued to spec? Would be curious why they backed out on you because I'm getting ready to help a buddy replace a flywheel in a few weeks time. Didn't know the flywheel bolts were considered a "consumable" part.

Thanks.

Yea Jim they were locktited and were torque down to spec and checked multiple times. When i asked the dealership if they were one time use only they said yes there only one time uses bolts but we now for a fact ppl reuse them
I would change them there cheap its not worth to have to pull the trans out again let alone break something.

 

Cooked! The car rapidly becomes undriveable (clutch slippage) when the disc become too thin because the pressure plate rivets bottom out on the flywheel and the pressure plate no longer clamps onto the disc.

 

You mean disc rivets?

 

No, the pressure plate rivets, as in one in the top left of the fifth photo.

 

Got it, thank you!
