I bought this car almost 4 years ago as a project car, nearly everything you can think of has been replaced. (except the engine and tranny itselfs)

Why I think I have crankwalk: I was driving to my parents house, which is an hour drive on the highway. once I started hitting stops and stop lights, trouble peeked its head!

Once I start taking off, in EVERY gear, it'll be ok till like 2.5g rpms then from there its like they disengage for a few seconds. kinda like when your clutch starts slipping, only on every gear! once it disengages the rpms start climbing like if Im reving, and the car feels like if I put it in nutral.....

THis can't be my clutch, because I've had my clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, flywheel, ball joint screw, clutch slave, and master cylinder, have ALL been replaced thess than 2,000 miles ago!

I thought crankwalk had already died out.... I guess mine just hadn't been driven enough to show itself yet :sosad:
 
Damn, damn. 14 people and 2 guest viewing this thread. DSMtuners is hot tonight LOL
OP, if you not busy... more like me cause I work crazy hours. Bring it by. I don't mind checking it out. You can't really say crankwalk until you measure it.
Calm down now people. No need to head this thread to a wrong direction.

PM me a price and date your abailable if your seriouse, and I'll reply with my number to get this thing goin.

LOL no price maybe a bottle pepsi. But it is fuggin hot like hell in fresno right now. Yeah man I'll check it out. I'll pm you my number later. Going to sleep in a bit LOL

On another note. Try this... To tell if it's slipping or not.
Best way to tell is to get the car under a massive load - get moving on an uphill surface preferably, though flat can work, and stick the car in 5th gear at around 30mph or so, then stick the pedal to the floor. If the rev's go up quickly or faster than your speed is moving relative to them, your clutch is slipping. If you just bog down and don't do much of any moving forward, you're all set!
