I changed my clutch to a k-tec gr N kit in october '09 hoping this would fix my problem. well, it didn't..
so here it goes:
engine at idle, pressing and holding down the clutch, engaging 1st gear, revin' the engine to 2-3-4k rpm and nothing happens as normal.
but when going past 5k rpm the car is pulling slightly ahead and it smells like burned clutch immediately.
car drives normal and shifts normal, but when flooring it and rushing the gear changes a bit I'm hearing the cracking noise in the box, almost in every gear
I'm thinkin' maybe some syncro's are gone, but then why it's trying to pull ahead as described above?
Could be the flywheel-pressure plate assembly being unbalanced? a flywheel bolt or two loosened up a bit? crankshaft issue? (hoping not!)
clutch won't engage properly? clutch cable is ok though and nothing else appeared faulty when I had the clutch changed.
as I said I had the problem before when the car was on standard clutch from the beginning.
Any advices welcomed as I don't really want to tear apart the gbox and spend money where I shouldn't
Thanks!
