Ok, YET ANOTHER darn clutch problem in my car.
I have had 5 different clutches in the last 4 years. First time it was what I am assuming a stock clutch. ALL clutches have been replaced by reputable mechanics.
I KNOW I drive stick properly because my dad used to drag race mustangs and he has "evaluated" my driving. So that is NOT the problem like some of you may think.
Clutch 1. I put a high performance clutch in from Centerforce. Everything but the adjuster was replaced. That clutch went back due to a faulty pressure plate which pulverized all the weights.
Clutch 2. I put in a stock clutch because it would then have a warranty. Again everything but the adjuster was replaced. This one lasted a shotty 30,000 miles. And never felt right.
Clutch 3. Another stock clutch went in cuz the old one was making horrible noises. Chirping and squeaking. This time everything INCLUDING the adjuster was replaced. I drove 1000 miles from Illinois back to Denver and the pedal was popping and the clutch was squeaking again and SURE ENOUGH!! AnOtHeR faulty pressure plate!!! WHAT THE !!!!!!!!
Clutch 4. This one is currently in the car. The pedal constantly shakes and makes a shivering noise. Its VERY inconsistent in grip time.
Everyone that has ever driven my car says its the hardest manual they have EVER driven because of the darn clutch! No clutch has ever felt right.
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE!?!?!?!
Is it time to just scrap the car?!?
