I did drive it around the block and it was hard to shift and then the thud and it was easier

Fix the Mount.?

cycomiko 07-25-2015 09:03 PM

Not yet. I did not have enough time. I'm going to order a poly trans mount and a poly torque arm bushing. No one stocks it so I will have to wait a few days

sweetbmxrider 07-26-2015 08:00 AM

Can you post a video of the noise/noises?

cycomiko 07-26-2015 09:57 PM

I will install the trans mount and the torque arm bushing when it comes in. If the car still makes the noise after that I will make a video.

cycomiko 07-31-2015 02:06 PM

I just put the torque arm bushing and the trans mount in and.....Its worse. It clacks as I hit the gas and let off. Maybe a ujoint -spline yoke issue or a bad throw out bearing. Ugh engine mount? WTF

ThoR294 07-31-2015 11:37 PM

Easy to check for bad u joints... Get under the car and see if you have any play in the driveshaft u joints

cycomiko 08-01-2015 12:09 PM

I just checked them both. They seem ok but old and the rubber is wearing away on the rear one. I dont think thats my issue. I also checked the motor mounts and they seem ok. I think my clutch is getting stuck engaged. The noise must be a bearing or spring or finger thats broken. I might try driving it to a shop to have them look just in case its my trans. Anyone on the forum live close to sicklerville? Save me a trip that may end with a aaa call. LOL

sweetbmxrider 08-01-2015 02:07 PM

Can you make a clear video describing what you are doing and when the noise occurs?

LTb1ow 08-01-2015 08:03 PM

Have someone watch the motor in park and give it some gas. If its moving at all, you need mounts. Poly mount and shot OE rubber mounts will make all sorts of noise.

cycomiko 08-02-2015 10:27 AM

I can't upload a video. The site is telling me that I'm missing a security token??

cycomiko 08-02-2015 10:32 AM

I think I'm gonna drop a Valeo clutch kit from rockauto in it. When I took it out to record a video there was some a lot of chatter in first and second gear.

sweetbmxrider 08-02-2015 10:41 AM

Upload to youtube

cycomiko 08-02-2015 01:42 PM

you can really hear it from 40sec on in the video. I barely touch the gas and lift it will just bang on each. AHHHH

Blackbirdws6 08-02-2015 03:45 PM

Sounds like a mount is broken. Did anyone look in the engine bay while you rev it to see if the engine shifts hard?

sweetbmxrider 08-02-2015 05:48 PM

I would definitely try slipping the clutch while someone watches the motor for excessive movement. I would also throw it up in the air and look for movement in the exhaust. Do you have headers or aftermarket exhaust? This noise doesn't occur with bumps in the road, correct?

cycomiko 08-02-2015 06:04 PM

I am taking back to the guy who welded my tsp rumble exhaust on. When I went to check the u joints I couldn't rotate the drives haft because the drives haft hits the exhaust while the suspension hangs. I jacked the rear up and it clears but not by much. I don't think it's the noise I'm hearing as it all started with a slap noise around the clutch area as the clutch engaged

cycomiko 08-04-2015 12:31 PM

ok I took it to my local mechanic to have him listen and take it for a test drive. I babied it there. He took it for a test drive and blew the clutch. All it does is spin. It wont grab at all now. I guess now I know I need a clutch and maybe other things.... He wanted 900 to replace the clutch. Needless to say its in my driveway. Getting ready to drop the tranny asap. Wish me luck on my first clutch install. Any suggestions on which clutch kit to buy for under 450. I was thinking the valeo kit. Its my daily driver so I need it to last. No major upgrades just bolt ons CAI and Cat back.

cycomiko 08-06-2015 05:30 PM

Hello? Anyone use the Valeo kit? Aamco uses LUK and swears by them. He said hes only had one ever come back. I think Im leaning toward the Valeo for $255.

BonzoHansen 08-06-2015 05:32 PM

I know a lot of guys using LUK clutches, but behind SBC. But still, good reports

Blackbirdws6 08-06-2015 06:09 PM

I have no experience with stock replacement clutches so can't help much there. Do your homework and pull the trigger.

I replaced my OEM clutch with a ZOOM OEM equivalent. Maybe 2 years later I started getting really bad chatter until one day on my way to work I pushed the clutch in and it went right to the floor. Turned out to be a bad TO bearing, the fork pulled the "washer" part off. So I replaced it with a Valeo/LUK from Rockauto and I haven't had an issue since. Not bad for ~$200 plus you can use the 5% discount. I also replaced the slave cylinder from a nylon body to an ebay aluminum body, was pretty cheap and probably contributed to the overall feel of the clutch.

Great reputation behind the legendary 4.0L I6 too :nod:

cycomiko 08-06-2015 10:31 PM

Thanks guys. I'm between the Luk for 150 and the Valeo for 250. The Luk seems too cheap lol. I'LL check their warranty and decide.
