Ok, so I was giving the car a bit of abuse tonight then all of a sudden the clutch stopped working and I couldn't get into any gear. After about 10 minutes of driving the clutch starting working again, but whenever i use it there is grinding noise when it's on the friction point. No grinding noise when the pedal is fully in or out. Also the friction point is twice as big now. Clutch is a Exedy 5 puk.

sounds like you may have burnt the plates on the clutch but you will need to take the box out anyway and i would suggest replacing all fluid and you may have boiled it...

giving the info you have provided its hard to say could be more issues with the box for all we know but it depends on what you mean by "ABIT OF ABUSE"

From a standstill I reved up car and droped the clutch in 2nd with my foot on the brake, quickly changed to 3rd, sat there for 3 seconds and peeled out up the road. When the tyres gripped I tried to change to 4th and thats when this started to happen. The clutch doesn't slip.

Yeah weird sound there

If it made it while just idling then it would be the thrust but that noise is just as it grabs.

Dropping it in 2nd puts a shit load of pressure on everything so I would suggest not doing that again dude. Only the hardcore drag racers with really quality clutches and lots of power do it

Still as I said in the end your going to have to take the gearbox out and inspect. It's to hard to diagnose over the Internet. I had trouble with my clutch and I had to bite the bullet and pull it out.

I think the clutch welded itself to the flywheel. On the drive home I must of broke it free and the grinding noise might be from parts of clutch still welded to the flywheel or the clutch is worn to the rivets.

It's welded it's self. You'll find little bits of brass imbedded in the flywheel.

Any brass button clutch that slips bad enough to create massive heat will try to weld it's self to the flywheel.

Just got a few questions:

This side faces the pressure plate right? Don't see how it would spin if I put it on the other way.

No gasket goo on the front cover gasket?

What size are the nut that go on here? Turns out my car never came with them lol.

I'm guessing you pulled it off to check the bearing?

Just put a very thin smear just to be sure. That is if the gasket is still in good condition. If it has any tears or is a bit rough get a new one, there's nothing worse than putting it all back together to find it has a leak.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.

      I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that.

      You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
