Car Shakes really bad

[insaneturtle]

The other day I was pulling out at a stop sign pretty hard and all of the sudden it started shaking really bad it felt like something broke loose under the car or something. I turned it off and started it back up again in neutral with the clutch in and it continued to shake really bad, I tried putting it into gear and it was next to impossible, but when the car was off it seemed fine going through gears. The next day i looked under, I didn't break any tranny mounts, and it started up fine, and didn't shake, but right when i tried to move it, it started shaking, then I noticed the clutch pedal started sticking, so I check the fluid and it still has plenty of clutch fluid.. what could the problem be

hmm, my car did this when i changed the clutch. I was told it was just the grabby clutch breaking in. and its not nearly as bad as it was at first, but every now and then when im in 1st gear and i start engaging the clutch it shakes still, not sure why but im interested to see any other opinions..

Could be a bad clutch disc. Does the vibration stop when you engage the clutch? Could be a warped flywheel.

No it vibrates all of the time once it starts it wont stop, it felt like something came out of place or something? Also the clutch only has about 3000 miles on it and its an act 2900 so what are the chances it went bad..

I would pull the tranny and check things out man. Sounds like something went wrong with the clutch. Possibly the TOB or the pressure plate itself could be loose. Definitely is something related to the clutch rotating assembly.

get in there and check things out.

When you put your new clutch in did you get you flywheel resurfaced. When i did the clutch on a honda civic the guy didn't want to get it resurfaced and after the install he complained about his car shacking not horrible but noticeable that was when the pedal was out that it shakes tho.

Did you remove the flywheel for anything and if so did you put threadlocker on the bolts when putting back in? My buddies car did this and it was loose flywheel bolts.

 

[insaneturtle]

would any of these explain why the clutch is sticking?

clutch chatter can happen.. i have small chatter on my s2k because my mounts are going bad

You don't understand, its not just a little clatter, it shakes really bad, and does not move like it normally should its slow and shaky.. its like something is resisting it from moving and holding it back.

i have a act 2100 6 puck in my car and for the first 1000 miles it shaked like crazy when i engaged it in first. like previously stated you need to pull the trans and take a look, we can give educated guesses but you wont know until you dig in

+1 on this.

The flywheel bolts backed out on me last year while doing some tuning pulls on the freeway. Same symptoms, weird vibrations and noises. Does the sound change at all when you push in the clutch? Does everything look normal at the slave cylinder and clutch fork?

Just a lllllooooooonnnnggggg shot but you might want to take a peek at your balance shaft belt if you still have the shafts.

Time to pull your tranny and see what's going on with the clutch.

It only takes a couple of hours to pull. And it explains the shaking and why you can't get it into gear.

Did u check to make sure the clutch h didn't shred apart

 

[andrewschel]

your best bet is to pull the transmission. sounds like you have loose flywheel bolts. Do not keep starting it and running it like that. you will further damage things and may need a new clutch, if not already. good luck

This is a long shot, but are all your bell housing bolts there/tight? If yes, there is definitely something going on with the clutch, you're going to have to pull the tranny. The reason you can't get it in gear is probably because the clutch isn't disengaging..

TOB is dead, spring popped out of the disk or the flywheel bolts may have come loose. Don't run it anymore though, you don't want to risk whatever is in there cracking the bell housing.

 

[dsm1990]

That is for sure a disengagement problem. if you do end up pulling it out make sure that you shim the pivot ball but needs to come apart. On a side note, your car cammed with no exhaust? sounds like it miss firing but could just be the video.

Clutch disk spring came out. That's my guess.

 

[Boost-Junkie]

+1 on the clutch disc. With your mods I dont see you havin any trouble trashing the dampner springs on that clutch disc.
