hey guys i am having problems with my new EXEDY Cerametallic Clutch and lightened flywheel. first of all i wanted to do this myself but i dont have the lift,so i took it to a redneck transmission shop. they have had my car since thursday and today they finally put it together.


PROBLEM: the clutch petal wont engage.

they claim the flywheel is so thin that the clutch can reach it.

i went there to so they could explain to me what is goign on but they left before i got there.

1. what could have these guys screwed up on?

2. does exedy clutch/flywheel have different sizes? Exedy is subaru's stock clutch.

i wish i knew what else what wrong but they wouldnt tell me....

3. are there issues with other people when installing a new clutch/flywheel?

 

i have a feeling that they did not allign the clutch right. could this be it?

also by the way i gave them my sti tranny mount to replace the stock one.....


please help me out on this!

 

oh yea i forgot i have a blitz front mount intercooler. he tried to tell me that he had to take out that piping to get my transmission.

is this true or was this an excuse to delay time with me?

 

its a exedy flywheel

 

here is what the tranny guy said


the clutch release bearing that came with the clutch will not stay in place with the pressure plate....

please help me out

 

i called Nino and talk to him since i bought this exedy clutch and exedy flywheel from him and he talked to the Local tranny guy. i hope nino told him what to do...

The local tranny guy "BOB" said that the clutch release bearing that came with the clutch is bad....????....... gee i wonder if the real reason is that he doesnt know what's going on!!

 

are wrx clutches push or pull??

 

ok fixed the problem...... the ring around the clutch release bearing did not fit right... we had to use the old one that came off the stock bearing..... its a ring that snaps into groves of the spinning bearing.... i had a bad part from exedy!

 

man this stage 2 is hard to control......... i get alot ofclutch shudder and engaging first gear is hard.............also i hear vibrations and high pitch noise come from the gearbox... i better go test drive it again..
