Hey there so as title says im having trouble working out whats wrong.. with what part haha
firstly when i had my car rwc'd a few months ago mechanic told me that engine mount had a crack and should be replaced.. (have not done it yet as its looking like an all-dayer, and had a look through the FYI section and only found one for replacing on a silvia... which is a hell of a lot easier)
so does anyone have any tips on this one?
now box/clutch,
when changing down thru gears its hard to get it into the gear.. mainly in 4,3,2 but if im not applying the brakes it is easier... :S very confusion..
when taking off in first, and then stoping again in first (eg at a busy traffic lights) i cannot get it out of first with the brake on (i have to slow down, realease brake, then go back to neutral... cannot just stop with clutch in and in first.. its astho the clutch just doesnt release)
and when it does release it makes a big clu-dunk sometimes and still needs a good yank to get it out
my clutch is a twin plate brass button, and it doesnt feel like it is anymore... (when taking off in first i can ride it a fair bit.. it used to just be on/off..
also i have checked clutch lines, i havnt lost any fluid, and there isnt any evidence of fluid along the lines from mast down to slave..
so first question could the engine mount be causing me troubles if its cracked all the way thru,, ie made everything out not line up right?
could my clutch just be worn and need replacing?
do i have a problem with my box?
does it sound like clutch bracket? have read something about it but no idea whr it is /what it looks like :S
anyone else had this problem?
thanks i really need to get ontop of this and my pet hate is getting a mechanic to do it.. hahaha
all feedback apreciated
thanks Simon G
