Hi guys, I may be overreacting here but I want to explain just incase. I have done my first clutch replacement (backyard repair).
I'll start from the beginning- When I first reversed the car the engine and wheels shook pretty bad, but Im putting that down to being the stalling point as it goes away as soon as the pedal is fully out.
My 'problem' is when Im down shifting, can only seem to feel it when going down to second. From third to second it gives a quick shake, but if i release the clutch fast or 'drop' the clutch its fine. So the shake is only felt from when I first release the pedal to the biting point of the clutch. It seems to be ok if I change from third to second in a higher speed than normal.. but i havnt tested that properly as I havnt 'worn it in yet'
Now, im hoping to hear thats normal stuff for a new clutch, but i want to be safe than sorry. Im worried because I didn't 'torque' the flywheel with a torque wrench.. just used a possibly flat impact wrench.. (i know, i know.. we do stupid stuff when we're young right?)
One more thing, I rang exedy today asking about the wearing in process, and he recons you dont really need to since its the oem replacement.. but im going to anyway to be safe. Thanks for reading
