so like i have a 92 sc300 MT about 128k miles. i still have a stock tranny and everything on the drivetrain. but today i did a few burnouts and later on while driving, i noticed my engine would rev up but no power to the wheels. almost as if im running on neutral. if i come off a stop, i can get to 20 mph but if i shift gears, nothing happens and still the high revs. Is my clutch bad or something perhaps with my tranny?

 

yes there is something wrong with your tranny =)

 

well i figured that out for the most part...

 

sounds like a burnt clutch......

 

 

i was thinking about the same what do you sugest i do? go ahead and replace it, and do you think anything else got affected by it?

 

you will not know if anything else is effected until you remove the trans.

 

LOL... you roasted your clutch. Oh well time for a new one.

 

That's a new clutch, mang. It will be a nice upgrade anyways.

 

do an act 6 puck sprung or the exedy stock replacement. i have had my exedy for over a year now and its been through 3 drift days and still holding up like a champ(knock on wood lol) and all the daily driving. the act 6 puck is a bit of a pain on the street until you get use to it. you have to slip it a bit more but it holds up great. my buddy has it in his 1jz gt30 mk3 supra. ive done a bunch of driving in that car and i wouldnt mind that clutch for a daily driver.

when i bought my sc the clutch was bad. if you dumb it about 3500rpm it wouldnt catch at all. doing the clutch is really easy in our cars too. other then getting the flywheel cut it took me 3.5 hours to do the job. i had a lift and mostly hand tools.

good luck

 

thanks for the reply, but yeah im not sure if im gonna go all oput drifting on my sc but then i do like going a bit now and then. i was just thinking a stage 1 clutch kit or something. well ill look for some prices online and when i take it out, ill examine any other things that may need to be done...

 

While you're in there, do it right.

 

haha yeah. i dont usually plan on swapping parts untill its needed or before its time to do maintance. but yeah forsure. wish me luck!

and any sites you guys suggest for clutches? ill looked up the act 6 puck sprung or the exedy stock replacement as you said. and on ebay theres an ACT 6 sprung for about 135$ and the EXEDY's are about 181$...

and what do you guys think about that "F1 RACING STAGE 1 CLUTCH" that goes for only 92$?

-thanks

 

i was also a little vague about if I'm going switch to a modified clutch. and I'm looking to buy a new clutch disk, will i need the new pressure plate that goes with it to use it? or could i use my OEM pressure plate?
