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

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
