So i'm driving, not shifting horribley hard or anything..
maybe 5.5k revs....

then I go to push the clutch in, and hear a heavy loud screeching sound.
Goes away for the most part when I let off the clutch... push it in, does it again.

What just died!?
My (un)educated guess is either a puck on my clutch went, or the flywheel busted???

Can someone please inform me ASAP? this greatley ruins my whole fucking weekend.

In other news, not even 3 hours before this just happened, I got a new car alarm for my car. *points @ siggy*

Jeezer

not shure about clutch, but you might wanna get an autolock and club to go with that, an alarm by itself wont do shit no matter how many functions it has

Ninj4r

Nah, but the impact baton i bash across their skull because the alarm was on silent, and they didn't know I had a keychain that got paged..

if your car just died I would say the flywheel for the tranny. The only things I know that will make your car die really is the flywheel and the alternator

But honestly I think it is your alternator, becuase before when I started my car it would screach becuase of the alternator (Shmoo knows what I am talking about) But yea it sounds like the symptom to me

Ninj4r

I doubt it's the altenator, because it only does it when I press the clutch in.

My friends dad (a mechanic) said he thinks it sounds like the throwout bearing gave way, so it's not grabbing one side, which'd be doing that..

anyone know a reliable website with a cheap ACT Stage2 clutch, with a 8-9lb flywheel?

At leasy you don't have to pull the engine to swap the tranny on a teg, thank god... save me $983798379 in labor.

eBay, but I know a lighter weight flywheel can cause some problems. When your car dies, is it stalling?

Ninj4r

lighter flywheel can stall your shit if you go from high RPMS to nothing, shouldn't be a problem with an 8 or 9lb wheel...

VTEC-Power

yea that is what I meant I would go 8.5 it is a good number

Ninj4r

my biggest thing is finding an ACT Stage 2 clutch kit for as cheap as I can...
ebay's not working too well for it.... if anyone sees some cheap lemme know..

How much do you think it'll cost in labor to have this done?
The engine doesn't need to be pulled to swap the transmission out, so it shouldn't be totally absurd, right?

does this
look like a good deal?
accompanied with this?

VTEC-Power

Yea, I love ACT, and he is a very good seller. And labor usually is around $200-$300, becuase changing a clutch is a hassel
