ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Clutch Problem?

    i was passing somebody yesterday for going 35 in a 50 and i downshifted from 4th to 2 second and punched it. then i shifted from third and the rpms went up and i wasnt going any faster. and i smelt burning and thought it was the clutch. it doesnt do it when i acclerate slower. idk what it could be. HELP!

    You are correct... your clutch was slipping. It's time to repalce it.

    I suggest an Exedy OEM or "Stage 1" clutch. Don't do what half the kids on here do and buy some fancy "Stage 3" performance clutch for a car that's putting down 110whp... ESPECIALLY a cheapie "performance" clutch that will actually perform worse and have a much shorter lifespan than an Exedy!

      Your totally right. All i want is a clean daily that actually works. How hard is it to do?

        That depends on your abilities, facilities, and tools.

        If you have a garage, a good jack, jackstands, a proper set of hand tools, access to a store for special parts (such as the 36mm hub nut, or a ball joint puller) and the ability to use them... then it's not too hard. I've done two clutch jobs with help from friends, and I hardly consider myself a master mechanic. It's MUCH easier with at least two people, though... at least when it comes to removing and replacing the transmission. It's quite heavy, and must be wiggled into place.

            What, the hub nut socket (that's what I meant), or the ball joint puller? You can rent/borrow both from most major autoparts stores.
