okkkkkk big dramas with my car!!!!! need an idea of whats happened i thort i knew but here goes..

b4 i begin some info on my car.

its an 89 model gtst completely stock when i got it never modded with 75,000km

i have boosted her to 12psi, 3 and a half inch exhaust all the way, and a blow off

welll about the dramas, they started about 3-4 months ago? my friend was driving my car without me in it, he pulled up to a set of lights put the car in second, forgot it was in second then tried to rack it up revved her upto some rediculous amount and dumped it and rode the clutch like a bitch nigga, any way he smelt the clutch hard and then it got stuck in gear or something? then wouldnt go back into gear any ways, he pumped the clutch a few times and kinda went back to normal, she drove alright for a lil while but then one night she just started going, slipping like crazy, and could smell the clutch burning heaps, kept slipping more and more till she couldnt slip no more and couldnt get up hills and then couldnt get off any where.

now what happens, i turn her on, by touching her ignition;) :PP yurr and put her into gear but she dosnt go any where, pull the clutch out dosnt move, just sits der dosnt stall, i can change gears with out pushin in the clutch pedal asif the clutch is in?!!! and i can hear the gearbox clicking like it would normally, the clutch im guessing is the stock one from when it was made, same as the box, any one ever have anything similar happen or know whats going on? some one told me if the clutch was completely gone it wouldnt go into gear?

help pls i wanna fix it and i dun wanna do anything till i know what sure is wrong and i wanna avoid towing her around every where to get it checked out!

no it does go into gear, i know a bit about cars, but i havnt had that much experience, iv had a clutch slip on me b4 and shit. what happens now is it goes into gear fine even without the clutch in, too me it feels like the clutch could be stuck on? i dont think the gears are gone because it was slipping and started slipping more and more in one night and then just didnt go no more

while trying to feather her back home the car was just revving upto whatever revs and moving like a slug and slipping heaps and i could smell the clutch really bad

i leant ma car to my ex gf's bro dat day and when it came back that was what happened he reckoned it just started going and he wasnt ****ing about, his older bro also had the same story

Well thinking about it logically. If the clutch is no longer engaging properly, then the car may be acting as though the clutch pedal is permanently depressed. Can you roll the car with it in gear, eg try pushing it whilst in gear.

It's obviously something to do with the clutch....get it on a tow truck and take it to a reputed import garage close to where you live. Either way its going to cost some dollars to repair.

The stocko organic clutches are pretty weak....and considering the age of your car it may not have taken to kindly to a 12psi boost setting.

Grab a single plate Heavy Duty ceramic clutch to replace it or if you don't have the cash, source a stocko replacement.

Good luck mate.

u'll need to be more specific and clearer with your language..

but from what i can gather... it seems like your clutch is

a) gone

B) the clutch fork (?) has come loose. the thing that engages the clutch.. not sure, it happened

to a mate of mine.

if i can roll it while in gear what does this mean? im gonna go try

3 things

a) your clutch plate is COMPLETLY burnt out and stuffed

B) there is a problem with your clutch hydralics leaving the clutch jammed on

c) the clutch fork has half-come off the pins, and has jammed in place

check b/c by getting under the car and looking at the clutch fork/slave cylinder and see if there is any pressure on the clutch fork, with your foot NOT on the clutch there shouldnt be any "real" pressure. get someone to press the clutch pedal in the car and see if the fork/slave cylinder rod moves

my money is on (a) thou

if u got no fluid

when u get under the car u will find that the piston has poped out of the bore of the slave cylinder

and that the clutch fork has come loose (there is a 90% chance this happened also, ull need to pull the box to fix it)

u may think this is speculation but ull see im right when u get under the car and look

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
