RobSR Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Following on about your noisey release bearing and blown up box... Sure it ain't the clutch.. It happened to Si and we thought it's what you described..but turned out the clutch was fooked.. Quite a few exedys have done it now Have you had the box off to have a look ?

Si@Fiske Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 ^ yeh idrees mate them paddles are so shitely made. mine let go after about 500 running in miles and it soudns like yours has let go pretty quick to. the centre of the clutch disitergrates and spits like the metal spaces out, they spin round in the box and jam everything up.if its been sticking going into gear, stays in gear when you start it effectivley in neutral, and locks shut randomly id deff check that out before just going and buying a new box.. its shit luck though mate after everyhting youve just had to do!cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 An Expensive Update..So, seven days ago I was tootling along slowly when I encountered a gear problem as mentioned, and thought it was the gearbox.I had a gearbox with a Quaiffe LSD from my old GT lying around but the housing was cracked, so I bought a new C52 gearbox and got that rebuilt using Toyota syncros and seals, along with the LSD.I have the gearbox to CogTeg Trangmissions in Bradford who did an awesome job on it. While getting the gearbox done, I thought it would be a wise idea to get a spare flywheel skimmed and fit that so that was done by Vee Clutches in Brighouse.Now that I had the parts I needed, yesterday (Friday) I thought I'd get the gearbox changed in time for today, the RR meet. Me and my cousin started the job yesterday morning.Gearbox off and flywheel fitted.However, we ran into a pretty nasty problem. Now I'm kinda wishing I read Rob's posts (above) earlier! It turns out that the Exedy Paddle clutch I bought brand new a month ago had terribly failed, and the centre was all loose. I was advised by a few people not to reuse this and I didn't want to risk it myself, after spending so much money on the gearbox etc!I phoned around to see who could sort me out with a clutch asap, and luckily Nick @ Tuning Developments had some Spec 6 PUK Paddle clutches in stock. Very kindly, my brother offered to pick that up while me and my cousin fitted a few other things to the car.MeisterR Zeta-R coilovers.I'm not gonna comment on them yet because I haven't had them fitted long enough to do so, so please do not ask what they're like. Instead, keep an eye out for a thread about them. I bought a Blitz NUR Spec exhaust too so we fitted that too.And wasted some time decorating a Civic in his workshop.My brother then came back with something rather nice, didn't waste time fitting it.Everything was then put back together and we gave the car an oil/filter change at the same time. Finishing off..That was yesterday, and here are some pics from today at the RR meet.Did I mentioned I bought these too? On genuine Starlet Bride rails.And then added some decals..She made 219bhp at the flywheel, and a touch under 200 ft lb or torque. Happy with that myself, especially after I kept up with my mates Evo several times who had his Dyno'd at 354bhp minutes after mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks guys, comments much appreciated as usual.I've spent far too much money on the car and I've only had it for around 5 weeks, so for now I'm just going to enjoy the car as it is. R/R GraphsPower @ The Flywheel.The one shows WHP (I think?) and Boost/AFR.And a video of her on the dyno, thanks to Craig for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is that not laggy for a td04 hybrid? I know you were having trouble with your boost controller or something at the rr day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
