# Clutch grabs like a mofo...

Posted by dmontzsta (92 SE) on July 15, 2003 at 22:46:51: now I know why people say that about aftermarket clutches, before I had no idea what it meant. BUT I dont have aftermarket and my clutch doesnt grab like a mofo. I have some cheapy clutch that the shop put in, I am sure it is some OEM aftermath. I was racing a tacoma tonight :) yeah a tacoma. And the damn clutch was slippin like a mofo, I was revving til 4k and slipping it, but it slipped through first, into second and part of second, it seemed really sloppy, I drove for another 10 minutes and it seemed fine again. Do cheap clutches do this when they get hot? it seems to slip more when hot. I pulled into the garage and notice a scary rattling sound, hope it isnt the tranny, I am going to let it cool off all night then hop in the morning and hope all is well... 9k on the rebuild BTW. what do you guys think? Replys: ACT is da bomb. It's been...uh.. 1.5 years and still very grabby. n/m Kaleb (Black '93 GXE 5spd) 14:01:43 7/16/2003 (4) That is good to hear... dmontzsta (92 SE) 15:43:49 7/16/2003 (3) Clutches don't shatter trannies playa, people do. n/m Kaleb (Black '93 GXE 5spd) 17:41:58 7/16/2003 (2) but a grabby clutch will show NOmercy on your tranny when you miss a shift. nm Matt (93SE) 10:45:25 7/17/2003 (1) ain't that the truth--> Matt K (89 SE 5spd) 12:07:48 7/17/2003 (0) I think you should have put a better clutch in and saved the hassle of doing it again --> Matt (93SE) 00:31:02 7/16/2003 (2) So no endorsement for the Exedy or whatever your using anymore? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 00:40:24 7/16/2003 (1) LuK.. I believe the one they stuck in my car is an OE replacement, not the heavy-duty one. they do make one comparable to the ACT, but I don't think this is it. nm Matt (93SE) 08:15:57 7/16/2003 (0)
