Help fix Danes Box !!!

[Belsil80]

So i take it you arent going to DECA then?? you should do the box change over and see if it keeps staying engaged, then cancel deca. it may sort itself out with the chance over... glimmer of hope for ya.. Im free thursday too if ya go through with it

[phunky_monkey]

Well, not sure at this stage...

Thanks for the offer Ryan. From what I've been told, if it doesn't fix the problem, the car will still drive fine, but I have a higher chance of smashing this box aswell, which I can't afford to do right now, not for the next 3 months or so that is, so I don't know if I want to risk it.

I also don't want all you guys to bust your balls for me on a whim if you know what I mean, I'd just feel bad about it...

[R31Nismoid]

The box will be changed in a matter of hours man.

Its not gonna take half a night

[phunky_monkey]

whaddya reckon Ash, think we should go ahead with it??

[Roy]

If your clutch is a bit ???? and your rear main seal a bit ???? then i would be waiting and doign it all properly.

What exactly is wrong with the clutch that means its not disengaging? I dont know but that sounds to be an adjustment thing ????

But do it right, missing a DECA sux but you do have a back up car or two

[Scotsman]

Buy a new clutch. Rebuild the old clutch later and sell it off as a rebuilt clutch.

The extreme clutch supplier dude that me and Al have used will deliver next day.

Wack the new clutch and BOX in on thu night and bob's my dad.

Don't worry about the time taken to do it. As Ash said, it wont take all night.

Is it currently a twin plate?

[KamikazeR33]

surely someone u know has a spare clutch lying around?

if not pm me n ill see wat i can do

[Roy]

Out if interest, what in the clutch stops it from disengaging? I thought that woudl be an adjustment thing...anyone?

[SABBAi]

I'll try swing by after class. Probably be about 9.30

[funkymonkey]

can't you use a standard secondhand clutch for the day? and then rebuild your existing one later?

[Al]

I will also be available for Thursday night, so i will give Dave a call on Thursday to get an update.

On a another note, i may have to pull my car out of DECA .

Went for a drive on the weekend and was hearing a deep winding noise from the engine bay, at idle. Tracked it down to behind the cam covers. Will be taking the car to my mechanic tommorrow to have a listen, if he knows all is ok, then no problem, but if he suspects a fault then i will pull out . I was so pumped up for this event

Either way i will still come up!

Anyone got a spare 33 i can borrow?

[Belsil80]

heh, i may still have my old clutch layin round, but i doubt you would want to do that, especially at deca. the only good thing is your gearbox wont be hurt in the slightest as it will probably never fully engage with all the clutch dumping. as for putting everyone out i think we see it as something to do!!! would be a bit of fun;)

Daneeeee

Im more than happy to give ya a hand with all this, and even if its the clutch, we can look at it with the box off, its the best time for it.

its for free dude, you might as well give it a try and see if its worth it.

Cheers

Sean.

[silva33]

You can use my R33 Al

[phunky_monkey]

Troy: I'm not sure exactly what makes it not disengage fully, but it's something to do with a few stress fractures I have in the clutch plates. I've been strongly advised not to put another box in without fixing it. In their words the clutch is 'f**ked!'

Chris: Yeah, it's currently a twin plate OS. Just buying another clutch would be the easy option, I work right next to EXEDY, but I simply can't afford it at the moment. I just put a fair amount of money into it last week...

Ryan: Thanks man, appreciate the offer dude!

Sean: thanks man, why is it always you that ends up fixing my car?? haha

Realistically, I think the only way to get it to DECA is to put another clutch into it, whether that be a secondhand one I can borrow, or a new one, which is just not an option at this stage...

[silva33]

and i just gave away my old exedy clutch!! u could have dad that!

[phunky_monkey]

ahhhhhh well...

I've just pulled out of DECA...

Thanks for the offers guys, much appreciated, but I should just do it once and do it properley with a rebuilt clutch I think.

[miniwog]

[phunky_monkey]
