cool. If you need to move it, you can limp it by pumping the clutch two or three times per shift. Goodluck!

Re: Master & or Slave
 

ugh
Replaced the slave.. now it moves nice & smooth but still no luck so it might be the clutch disk.. Dang it!

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Is it moving about an inch? Were there any funny noises before? Maybe you will get lucky and it will be the TOB. If not I will look for the told ya so smilie :D

Re: Master & or Slave
 

no funny noises. drove to work ... had a little trouble shifting, came out to leave work and it wouldnt go into gear. It's got good grab, but the clutch seems to do very little, and yes the piston on the slave moves almost an inch or so maybe more.

Re: Master & or Slave
 

any quick fix ideas so I can limp it to MAP insted of paying $90.00 for tow?

Re: Master & or Slave
 

try pumping it, like I suggested. Then you will know if its a hydrolic issue or a mechanical clutch/TOB problem.

That clutch was put in right when I first bought that car, 84000 on the clock. Not sure what it has now, but I *never* launched the car, ever. I took very good care to drive the car quickly but not abusively :D

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Not hydrolic issue any more... gotta be mech.DOH! so the car isa @ about 110,000 now so like 26000 miles on the clutch. Do you remember what kind it was? 6 puck ??? ect ACT?

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Im gonna guess it's your clutch disc. I had a similar problem this past summer and hoped for something simple too. I was getting rough shifts, sometimes it wouldnt go into gear, sometimes it would. Went into gear while not running, started car and car moves in first with clutch pedal down. I ended up with a torn up clutch disc. Found about 6 pieces if clutch :).

Southbend DXD. I wonder if the previous owner launched it. No wait, he was young, probably didn't know how to drive. The kid could hardly use email so I don't know.

I would recommend replacing it with the same; I have one in my evo too, and I LOVE it. Talk to LSE about getting one, more info here:

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Aren't Southbends famous for going out early? This isn't the first thread I've seen on this.

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Ok so a chunk of my disc broke off and lodged in the pressure plate, gotta love Southbend! Never again will a Southbend be in my car! Time to upgrade! Hopefully the holiday dosent slow down my cluth getting here too much. Sad not to drive my car :( & have to drive my wife in to work @ 4:30 AM just so I can have transportation... I'm tired lol.

Re: Master & or Slave
 

At least it didn't weld itself to the flywheel like usual.

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Car is still waiting for the clutch... holidays suck for getting parts fast.

ahhh southbend DXD

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Looks like that clutch is just plain wore out. What kind of clutch are you going with, just a new disk?

Re: Master & or Slave
 

I'm getting a competition clutch stage 4 and an ACT Streetlite flywheel! Can't wait!!

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Competition makes a good clutch. Is the stage 4 an Ironman?

Re: Master & or Slave
 

Awesome, that should treat you well! I guess the guy that owned the car between you and me wasn't super good at driving a manual? :( Oh well, one less thing you have to deal with later!
