So I just had my motor rebuild, and im really psychosomatic, so I would start reading stuff about crankwalk, and right when i got my car back, i would see an RPM Drop while holding clutch down... Now im noticing, if its in gear, and i let it deaccelerate, while holding the clutch, it drops major rpms, if im starting from 4k+ then when it falls it dies, so it seems the higher i am, the farther the drop... if i fall from 3k then it almost dies, hits around low 500s or so.. I just need possible ideas... The place that rebuilt my motor says they used the factory same year thrust bearings, and that he cant see my pully move or hear any sound coming from the motor.. Could it also be from the flywheel not being surfaced correctly? ( 2600 clutch) -- I had them resurface it as well to the measurement given to me by RRE, .12 i believe, been a while but i think so.. Any input or assumptions are much appreciated :cry:
 
if im not mistaken all cars with manuals drop around 100 rpm when the clutch is engaged. my freinds mustang does it, my neighbors toyota truck does it, my eclipse does it, so does my friends crx, and my cousins GS. unless they all have crankwalk........

dammit i just said the c-word. heres a tip, i used to be just like you. next time youre reading horror stories dont think too much of them. i used to have a 94 tbird, and while i was about to get into modding it, i read where the 1-2 and 2-3 accumulators go bad in the tranny, the belts can slip and the torque converter could mess up, and the tranny will do weird things, shift slower than normal, and grind and jerk, and possibly die at stoplights. guess what happened to me the next morning..........yep, all those symptoms started happening, and by the end of the week i needed a whole new tranny. now would that have happened had i never read that dam article? i dont think it wouldve, but i have strange ways of thinking nowadays, after all, i bought a dsm.

point? dont trip.
 
I appreciate the input, thats good to know, HOWEVER, it dies completely while deaccelerating in gear, and clutch is down ? -- Isnt the car supposed to NOT die while the clutch is down? -- My motor was rebuilt 500 miles ago.. Hence the reason im asking for help.
 
its tough cuz ill be driving through traffic, and ill have to be quick shifting otherwise car will die while clutch is down. especially winding down from high rpm or if its warm. And about venting BOV, sorry to sound stupid, does that mean if its recirculating? If thats the case, yes it is, the hose is connected to the intake pipe
 
as an update, we went under the car today, and had someone start the car, then shut it off and press the clutch... I could visibly see play.. sigh.. Almost 1mm of play, hard to say off hand but it was a bit dissapointing to my dismay... crankwalk @ 514 miles on a rebuilt engine :cry: .. Original engine did not have crankwalk.. Time to look at some 6bolts. Can anyone recommend a good seller? -- im not looking for a raceblock, simple used one will be fine, and maybe ill rebuild it.. just need a credible seller. Thanks in advance
