danger Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Was checking out a chic mates car which has shat its clutch, nothing unsual there. FWD mitsi lancer pretend evo2 POS with fluffy seat covers.. Car was driveable but clutch was slipping really really bad when in gear, as if clutch was half in. Clutch itself seems sweet as, has clutch fluid etc, doesnt appear to need bled and even if it did that would give the opposite effect usually. She'd just been cruising down a 80km coastal road and was slowly decelerating when it fucked out. I got car running and drove it down the drive and pumped clutch in and out to see if it'd loosen up or anything and it got worse till it stopped moving the car at all. Then I pushed the clutch right in and it actually makes the car stall. WTF? Does a FWD have the same design with clutch fork etc as a RWD? never worked on FWD's. Cant get my head aroundit, probably something really simple. Any help guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 exactly the same design except the gearbox has an extra transfer gear setup with a diff bolted on the side. piece of piss. the operative point though is, yuh, clutch is the same. collapsed pressure plate is my guess. woulda broken a few fingers off it and shit. dont replace just the pressure plate coz she's a girl that doesn't understand that cars = $$. full clutch kit will be cheap as chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 clutch fork arrangement is the same as RWD, checked clutch master/slave cylinders that they aren't leaking and actually pushing the clutch in? Get someone to pump the clutch pedal while you look at the pushrod on the clutch slave cylinder. If it actuates the clutch like normal then it could be the clutch disc/pressure plate itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A am completely unfamiliar with FWD setups so wasnt quite sure how it all worked, there appeared to not be a fork attached to the end of the slave like normal. Oh well I'm not fixing it i just gave my opinion. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 i was gonna say a blocked compensation hole but if the slave aint moving then itll be .. diaprham spring (x3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
