Is my clutch disc toast?

[alex99gst]

Here is a quick story of what happened to me and how I almost died recently thanks to the transfer case locking up. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/han...ry-about-how-i-could-have-died-yesterday.html



Cliff Notes: My transfer case crapped out and I got a new one put in.



My Spec stage 3 is now slipping at anything over 5 psi on my 16g and 2.4L. It wasn't doing this before. When the transfer case crapped out I had to move my car off the interstate ASAP. We tried to tow my car home but it wouldn't budge (locked t-case), so we kept trying to tow it while I slipped the clutch to move the car. I could tell the clutch was slipping like crazy. I know this is why it is slipping now, but do you think I can drive it enough to remove the "glaze" or is it completely toast?

you my want to visually inspect the clutch considering the nature of the acident.

I've been driving the car a bit more and it seems like it is starting to slip less and less each time I drive it. I was chattering a lot at idle and it is also starting to chatter less. It only chatters right at 1k rpm's at idle. If I give it any gas at all then it stops immediately.

I just don't want to pull it yet if I don't have it and if I'm going to pull the transmission, then I might as well replace the disc anyway. We'll see if the problems persist or continue to slowly fade. Thanks for the advice man.

The slipping has continued to slowly go away the more I drive it. I noticed that at exactly 1k rpm's I can hear the clutch disc chattering quite a bit. It sounds like a clunking noise, but if I barely even tap the throttle it will go away instantly. I can even adjust the idle with my MAFT and the noise goes away completely with 1 or 2 clicks on the idle knob. I eventually plan on pulling the tranny off once summer rolls around and I have some time on my hands. Any ideas?
