I have had the grinding noise on cold start ups since I bought the car (1yr ago).

 

Had my starter noise since 142,893 miles

 

Alright definitely doing some research on clutches. oem seems to be ranged at like 500ish at a nearby shop. but will not be paying that much. Trying to budget within 400 and work on it myself. Had this clutch thing for about a week and will have to survive just a week more for i'm in school. Any recommendations for a such a budget clutch? I read about stage 2,3,4,etc. clutches but those don't seem to be so appealing to me. And for the starter (teeth) going bad causing the grinding noises. Any known solutions to it besides greasing the teeth or replacing the battery? I dont see how the battery could affect the sound too much... and any diy on the starter teeth ???


and any recommendations on lightweight flywheels in case i have to replace it as well if there are any hot spots once i take it apart??? :3 not trynna replace the flywheel if it's still good to go. pressure plate and clutch disc for sure though

thank you guys for everything

 

oh yeah.... and just today my engine light came on :///////////// im planning on taking it to autozone or oreily's to check out the code on the engine. hoping it's just some flaw on the o2 sensor or yeah... read up on some problems if the clutch could possibly be causing the light to come up but nope... a bit worried hahhaa. I was very cautious not to over accelerate so that the clutch doesn't go bad even more. let me know!
