StuDoc 72 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 So ive not long replaced my clutch due to thinking it was slipping but when the box came off the old clutch had plenty meat left on it and has since been used in a diff starlet where it is perfect.The biting point is quite high up and is not very strong like it should be it just sort of slowly bits until your foot is off the clutch and the car judders slightly.My next port of call is to flush through with new brake fluid to see if thats the issue but i have a funny feeling that it is down to wearing on the flywheel.So from there im looking for opinions on whether skimming my flywheel would sort the issue which i assume it would.Or would i just be better if buying a new flywheel or aftermarket one????Opinions and links would be apprectiated.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Try changing your clutch master cylinder I had similar problems with the biting point changing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Its not changin though mate its constantly shite lol. It feels like a worn clutch or as i suspect a worn flywheel thats what i believe and its done nearly 150km now and has always been completely standard so i doubt ever had anywork to the flywheel.

mattyD Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It could be because the clutch face is new and is pressing up against a used/worn fltwheel mate! Best bet would be to either get a new/newish fly and put that in or you could maybe get your fly skimmed but that sometimes has a tendancy to bring on hairline cracks etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I thought it was due to the face of the the flywheel being worn where the clutch contacts it and basically causing the friction plate to sit further away from it when disengaged due to the lip and the wear on the flywheel.Im more after ideas of where to get flywheels is there more options than just standard etc etc?

StuDoc 72 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 What do you mean is the friction part of the flywheel removable on them? Ive got a few other issues im in the process of fixing atm anyway so im in no rush to go pulling the box off again so dont worry about that. PM me how much you woyuld be after for it?

mattyD Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yeh man, you can remove the friction plate when it becomes worn down and just replace it with a brand new one I'll pm you in a bit dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
