My clutch started slipping today so I have gone ahead and ordered a new OEM kit. I plan on getting the flywheel resurfaced but I don't feel like having my car down over night while the machine shop does it. Does anyone have a spare AP1 flywheel laying around? I will give you the flywheel thats currently on my car in exchange and cash or whatever you want in turn.

My current flywheel has 41k. Previous owner babied the car and so do I...I'm kind of pissed that I have to replace the clutch again this soon but shrug.

Let me know.

Located in NoVA

Thanks

 

I may have one at my shop. I will try to remember to look tomorrow.

 

I'll check at my parent's house in Woodbridge this week. I have my OEM parts stored there. When are you trying to do the clutch work?

Also, what is your definition of babying if you're replacing the clutch at 41k??

 

Thanks!

The clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate were replaced at the dealer 41k miles ago per the paper work I have from the previous owner. He was in his 30s and a lawyer; he claimed that he babied the car. In the 3 months I have had it, I know I have babied it haha. I just replaced my clutch master cylinder then the clutch started slipping a couple of days later so there might be a connection there as well.

 

Are you sure your clutch is adjusted correctly? For starters, do you have freeplay at the top of the clutch travel? If there is always pressure in the system, the clutch might not be able to engage all the way, and even a brand new clutch would slip.

A clutch job is a big PITA so I'd be sure everything else has been eliminated as a cause before you replace the clutch.

 

It sounds like there's more to it but I couldn't put my finger on it. Sure there's no air in the system after replacing the master cylinder? How is the pedal?

 

The clutch is self adjusting, but the clutch pedal could be an issue. If the clutch pedal is adjusted too low the throw out bearing could be partially engaged. (For lack of a better word. Behind the pedal arm there's two different switches that the pedal should have an air gap. Off hand I want to say 3/8" or so. I'd have to look it up, but basically the pedal arm can't be resting against any thing.

 

Your in LUCK! PM'd ....I just replaced mine yesterday. It was SIMPLE. Use a lift and follow the directions in the FAQ thread and you'll be fine. I dreaded doing it for over a month and then did it in about 8 hours. Now knowing what im in for and doing it once, bet i could do it in half that time. Oh and the reason your in luck is cause i have my stock one just sitting here and i work at a machine shop

 

Oh and another reason your lucky is cause i'll only have access to that flywheel machine for 2 more weeks.... last day is the 25th. Start at www.cncenginedynamics.com on the 28th

 

I was thinking clutch pedal, but said clutch. We're on the same page
