What do I need or where to I buy the parts to replace my end clutch. I think there is a kit, but I am kind of clueless....

Thx!

if i knew wtf that was then i'd help, but my question is who is that in your sig?

That's me and my favorite girl. :)

An end clutch is kind of like the manual clutch from my undertstanding....except a little bit more to it. I could be wrong

... http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/ Yes, i know im awesome. :stick: I have heard a end clutch has something to do with overdrive...this is for A/T cars by the way. Our cars come with a end clutch but appearently they are not very good and dont last all that long when you start to put more power to the ground.

Edit: typo

thanks!

Goto My Webpage and email the guy there. We got the one for Terina's car there. I noticed it shows for up to a 98 eclipse but nothing about the 99's. Email him and ask him if they will fit and how much they are. We got ours at a reasonable price and shipping was very fast. He also was very fast to email even though he was in the middle of a move. I would recommend him. His email is charles@plymouthlaser.com and his name is Charles Monk. Like I said, he was very fast to respond and very quick to ship. I was referred to him from someone from this site. His site is very informative as well.

PS. If you need help with replacing, I'm willing to lend a hand. It's pretty easy but if you haven't done it before you might be a bit confusing to begin with. I would also recommend changing the tranny filter and fluid at the same time.

Thanks Erik! I'll check it out. I knew you'd know something since you had done this to Terina's car. :D

Yeah, I looked at those too. :) Thx!

I'm sorry, I sent you back to the converter page, try it now.

The one we bought was actually less expensive than those even after shipping (it is the same one, Alto). I can't say anything good or bad about Full Throttle since I have never bought anything from them. The only thing I can recommend is from my own experience. What drew me to buy from Charles was the the fact that he has all the info for installing (among other things) on his website for easy access.

end clutch = torque converter???

No. An end clutch is a clutch pack on the end of the transmission that is accessible from the outside of the tranny while it is still in the car. It has at least 6 circular disks (3 or more fiber with inner teeth and 3 or more metal ones with outer teeth) that alternate fiber, metal, fiber, etc. These disks fit in a bore where the outer teeth mesh against the sides of the bore and the inner teeth slide over the shaft. The disks have a spring loaded piston that forces the disks together to engage the pack. I do not, however, remember if it's spring applied and hydraulically disengaged or vice-versa.

Hopefully that clarifies it. It's used for engaging the overdrive. Usually they get too warm or worn and warp. One of the symptoms that we encountered was, if we nailed the gas and it down shifted to 3rd and then when it went to shift back into overdrive, it felt like it slipped into neutral until you let off the gas and then it would catch and everything would be fine.

I just started looking around this site and have found it very helpful!!! Thanks again Erik!

Ok, thanks for explaining it.
