5000k dumps are only good if you have a clutch that can handle them!!
I know I won't be pulling any 160+ runs on the autobahn.....

I just took out the transmission yesterday it didn't really take that long about 1 1/2 hours by myself. I've learned a very valuable leason from all of this. A 5K DUMP JUST ISN'T WORTH IT, AT ALL. When I was pulling the transmission out a whole bunch of clutch parts where falling out. And I'm not talking about big clutch parts little pieces of metal and clutch fibers. So to make a long story short the clutch pressure plate is missing 6 inches from the pressure plate. There isn't any damage to the transmission or the flywheel. I know I was nervouse when I heard it shatter. The good news is I should be up and running by the end of next week. So I'll be out terrorizing the locals yet once again. |

Good for you Ryan.. I just got done doing Daves clutch today. It took us about 6hrs start to finish.. It was a learning experience for me. All works well so that was good. We even took the time to resurface his flywheel....... |

Let me guess...It was a centerforce that shattered on you? |

Centerforce is junk. My problem might not be ALL its fault. The slave unit might be part of the problem. When I blew the factory clutch, it took them both. |

The same clutch that came with the car. It was time for it to go out 60,000 on a stock clutch is almost un heard of. I know the way I drive that clutch was straight up abused. |

Jack, no clutch can handle a 5000k dump, I would think 5k is the limit. He he. Sometimes ya just gotta take a dump. |

I didn't think he messed it up again, but maybe that he found some new problems... |
