Today my car finally got put on the lift and my tranny got removed, the clutch got ripped apart basicaly and the flywheel got a little worped. Fortunatly the piece that is damaged on my flywheel will only cost $40 to be replaced amd it is being shipped to me overnight. Also my mechanic said my tranny looks perfectly fine and shows no evedence of damage. So all in all my mistake of putting my car in second rather then 4th cost me about $850 and 2 weeks of costant worrying. Anyways I should be getting my car back tomarrow!!! I can't wait!

 

Excellent. Glad to hear it was not too, too bad. I would love to see your car actually moving vs. sitting at the end of that road.

 

Maybe I will see you at the June 3rd meet, it will be moving there

 

Glad to hear your car is fine. Oh and in the future don't drive anyone in your car except me, they bring you bad luck
C ya in NJ.

 

That's great news!!! You know what, getting that piece of crap clutch saved your engine/tranny. The clutch gave away instead of ripping your tranny/engine part. If it was an ACT, I'm pretty sure you would have been looking at aleast a tranny rebuild. Now, package that old clutch up and ship it back to Stillen for return. LOL

 

Ethan, its great to hear that it is only the clutch and flywheel. Maybe i will see ya at the Liberty State Park meet. We are going to try to break the record set at 70 or so by Jim W (w/ the A6)

 

it's good that you didn't wrech your engine up, so now I know what happens when you put it into 2nd gear instead of 4th, unfortunatly it costed you $800 something...

see ya in NJ

good thinkin tony.. just make him worry about his new clutch.. lol

 

At least your car isn't a Celica GTS...heard those things misshift and blow up quite easily

 

Good. We'll see you in Jersey for the meet right?

 

I'm not going to promise that I will be there, but probably!

Update: The damn part for my Flywheel never got shipped out yesterday so it looks like I am going to have to wait yet another with out my car.

 

I was pretty sure the clutch was the culprit since the same exact thing happened to me. I'm sure that let a load off! I really am glad that you'll be up and running again. My 2 cents: Nissan clutches suck, but it sounds like it giving way saved the tranny. Anyway congrats! Peace.

 

Whatever you do is cool. Just be easy on her if you come.

 

DEEZO: what color paint is that on your spark plug cover? looks sweet, im thinking of redoing mine cause it got a lil scratched up.

EMAX95: Ethan if you get lost just wait up for me and my boys we will lead the way

1MAX2NV: Tony will you be at the meet June 3rd, i should have $300 for that manifold if your willing to bring one

 

 

The color is Plasti-kote Grey Cast. You can get it from Pep Boys.
