Re: Project Lex
Sucky on the trans. Why not just call them though? Or talk to JWT directly, emails can be too easily skipped over and are passive.

Re: Project Lex
Well I tried sending JWT an email, but it get sent right back from Mailer Demon. Guess their contact addy on their site is no good.
Yeah probably should just call them.

Re: Project Lex
Talked with Collins, he plans on having the billet adapter setup ready to ship end of next week. So I got some time to get the trans out

Re: Project Lex
I don't remember what exactly your clutch problems were, but that disc is fubar'd. And like the issue. Cant tell from the pics, is it warped at all?

Re: Project Lex
Momin, the problem is basically the clutch wouldn't disengage anymore. You pressed the clutch pedal, it felt normal, but it just didn't actually disengage. So like if you had the car off, put it in 1st gear, pressed the clutch and started the car, it would lurch forward as you're cranking it because it's not disengaged. Maybe you're right though, it does seem a bit warped so maybe that was wedging it in there just enough that it wouldn't disengage.
Brownman, fuck yeah come over! The past several days I've been trying to get the CF hood on, but soon as I can get the wife out to help me Leo starts crying and that's that. Will literally take 15 minutes but I just need an extra set of hands!!

Re: Project Lex
It's hard to tell from pics, but is the disc edge totally fubar'd? If so, that's fubar.
Seems like you have the situation under control though with a new clutch and trans adapter or bellhousing on the way, good luck this year!

Re: Project Lex
It's a JWT clutch for a 350z.
Yeah the edges are nasty, what even would cause something like that?

Re: Project Lex
Was the inspection plate on? Maybe something fell in there?. Some rivets pop off?

Re: Project Lex
Yes it was, and also it's not really useful anymore because of the whole adaption, things aren't as they were intended. There really is no way to use the inspection cover anymore with the swap.

Re: Project Lex
That disc is just falling apart, weird. Well hopefully a new clutch solves all the issues!

Re: Project Lex
Is the pilot bearing still okay? Maybe something got jarred to cause the outer ring of the disc to catch something. Probably excessive heat or something and warped the whole thing.

Re: Project Lex
Yeah I'm not really sure. You can see what I can see, I don't really know anything more than that. I think excessive heat is a likely contributor, especially considering it finally let go at the track after launching which involved a little bit of slipping / dumping the clutch.

Re: Project Lex
I can stop by as well. Can help with the hood, and would like to see the disc and pressure plate. I'm guessing the distortion of the disc (and friction discs on the disc) is likely the issue. It doesn't take much variance in thickness(including overall "thickness" caused by warping..) of the disc or cut of a flywheel for a setup to hangup or not fully disengage.
The heat spots on the pressure plate indicates this thing isn't disengaging, combined with your last day at the track..

Re: Project Lex
Sure feel free to swing by some day. Hit me up on my phone, because I usually only have certain windows that work. Winding down the kids for bedtime is a bad time for example, lol.

Re: Project Lex
Put the clutch disk on the pressure plate. It should lay nice and flat when your press one side to the other side. How is the input shaft on the transmission? Can you see what else rubbed on the clutch disk?
