A buddy of mine who drives an evo x rode over a curb today. After this happened, the clutch pedal felt very weird. It vibrates like hell and the engagement point was off. It was hard to get into gear also, and while moving the car, all you smell is clutch burning. The car is still under warranty but we just want an idea of what it may be?

Thanks!

 

Bring it in ASAP then and have it inspected. If the damage was caused by hitting a curb the warranty won't cover it.

 

like brushed a curb or blasted one?

 

Could have bent up the driveshaft if you rode over the curb,,,

 

Well it's sitting in the dealers parking lot right now and it won't be looked at until Monday

 

not sure what could be wrong. I would of got the wheel fixed before taking it so they would never question that and try voiding your warranty right off the bat. And def don't tell them you hit the curb and thats when the problem started. I know people who have said dumb things like that and you just threw any chance of getting a free repair out the window lol

 

I dont think there was any damage to the wheel. But does anyone think it's a throw out bearing?

 

It could be the bearing. Did you inspect under the hood simply to make sure the clutch master cylinder was working properly, nothing was bent, no fluid, etc? It seems unlikely that you would feel nothing, hit a curb, and then have a completely unrelated part fail. Possible, but seems unlikely.

 

there was no leaks, master and slave looked fine.. also looked at the clutch/brake fluid and it was where it needs to be.

 

so everything is ok??

 

This smells like its gonna be quite expensive

 

dealership says its pressure plate, clutch and throw out bearing i guess..... cost is going to be $1,400

 

I wouldnt pay the dealership any of that money. You could get a new better after market clutch and have it installed for less.

 

What he said. Your time to mod is NOA

 

Be sure to inspect suspension control arms and get an alignment, too.
