Guys Starting to get a rumbling noise from the gearbox in neutral, the noise goes away if you depress the clutch or engage a gear, any ideas?
ould be the clutch release bearing.
Dan
Nice one Fish thats what I suspected, didnt think it was the gearbox itself as I\'ve heard the boxes on these cars are pretty bombproof.
hmmmm might as well change the clutch whilst changing the bearing then, thankgod its not the something more serious.
Any recommendations on performance clutchs considering I will be going single turbo soon? I had a ACT 6 puc clutch on my 300 last year that was pretty good
I\'m at the same point myself. I will have an engine ready at the end of the week, so need to sort a clutch out for that. But also looking at going single some point when the funds are there.
All I do know is, that it aint gonna be cheap. :(
Dan
yeah I\'m going to try and get hold ACT in America and get a price, I will let you know what they quote
grumble goes when clutch is down, is layshaft bearings
your not useing the release bearing untill you hold clutch down.
damn, are these bearings hard to change or would I have to get the gearbox reconditioned?:confused:
rebiuld im afraid
ill get a price for that soon as im having mine done as we speek
cool let us know t2rew
In the meantime I have found out the clutch kit from ACT which will handle a modified RX with up to 500 pounds of torque.
The model is ZX3-HDR6, specs are
This kit will hold up to 514 ft/lbs of torque with an increase clamp load of 40% over stock. This kit comes complete with our Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, 6-Puck Race Disc, release bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool. Pedal pressure will increase about 10%.
Blitz, how much???
Dan
The guy at ACT is gonna email me a few dealers who will export to us in the UK, then I will try and get the best price, will let you know when I get de info
Only just found this post - also trying to get an ACT clutch from the states, maybe a powerbuy - see my thread in the For Sale section...
However, if Blitzboy finds prices as well, I\'d be happy to be in on this buy, if it\'s fairly quick.
Cheerio
Andrew
Andrew can you find out how much your man will do the ZX3-HDR6?
the extreme plate will be to harsh an engagement I think its meant to be with the the race disc for torque levels above 500 Ibs
I\'ll ask him. Hopefully get an answer by the end of today.
Regards, Andrew
Tell a lie - apparently it\'s a holiday in the States today, so may not get an answer until tomorrow pm.
Andrew
no worries no rush Andrew
Just got reply - $450 for the 6 paddle clutch (probably somewhere between £285 and £290 depending on paypal exchange rate on the day). Obviously plus shipping.
I\'d like to get a regular one for me asap (before my clutch dies completely). How ready are you?
Andrew
yeah I\'m ready to go, do I make payment directly to you or to them?
I\'ll get a total price for both + shipping, pay him with paypal (via credit card), and then you can pay me when we arrange delivery at this end.
It might be easier to arrange by email rather than on this board - I\'ll PM you my email address.
Andrew
Andrew, I am able to move on this as well. Did you manage to get a quote for a lightened flywheel.
Dan
YGM Andrew
Thanks - got the mails from both of you. Just getting a revised quote off him now. Looks like $440 for 6 paddle, plus third share of $70 delivery, which probably works out at just under £300, which is rather nice IMHO :). Flywheel likely to be $285 (£183ish).
Andrew
Is it too late to get in on this one?
I\'d like to get a 6 paddle clutch ASAP, PM me if you\'ve not put the order in yet!
thanks,
Steve
Sorry, already put in order and paid. I believe they\'re being dispatched today. Apologies.
I can pass on details of the bloke I\'m buying off if you like?
Andrew
nevermind, I\'ll have the details if you can please.
thanks,
Steve
