well my car decided to give out on me again :(
heres the story, i dident drive her all of the long weekend but when i left it everything was running really nice. but when i started her up on the monday, there was this cluncking noise when the clutch is out. when its pressed down its fine, but when i let go of it theres this clunking sound from i think the tranny. i replaced the fluid in the tranny and its still like this. it will go into gear but it wont drive. all i get is little stutter forward.
looks like shes not gunna b on the road for a while :( ne ideas guys as to whats wrong? |

| sounds to me like your clutch is slipping, bleed your line like he said. Is your peddle getting stuck at all? take the starter off flash a light in there and see if there is anythign wrong that you can see with the flywheel, or any abnormal dust. If there is dust obiously dont breath in the dust :) . If you still cant find anythign wrong, you will prob need to take off your tranny. worst comes to worst a new clutch :P |

you dont need to drain any fluids if you take off your starter, and you wont be able to see the release bearing unless you take off your tranny

Bleeding the clutch isn't going to fix your throw out/needle/release bearing.
Pull tranny, replace, and change the clutch when it's out. |

Wasnt saying it would, my clutch used to stic some times even very slightly where i couldent tell that it was and i had the same problem till i did the fluid, just rulling out all the possibilities |

| so im driving her now and i notice that my oil pressure is like off the meter...... is this bad? how can i fix this? wasent like this before so thought id ask just to be on the safe side. |
|

| godofice |
| clean that wire terminal to your oil pressure line, and swithc it around, and make sure you didnt overfill oil if not then you might have a bir problem, make sure that the terminal is not backwards. |
