my car walked last nite (i think ) :cry:

this is bs! i just bought the car :cry: :( :mad:

i was turning left on lake st fro m my house and all of a sudden i hear this LOUD kocking sound and the car jerks and almost stops and then i realize that my clutch is stuck to the floor. i didnt know what the #### that was, first thing that came to mind was crank walk! so i made a u turn and started driving back home (it was less then half a mile away) the noise was pretty bad!

then wehn i got home i opened the hood and heard the noise coming from under the valve cover? (crnkwalk??no? right?)

then when i press my clutch in it makes a clicking noise
but i dont know if this is crankwalk or no can anyone help me plz plz

Damn dude... so sorry for ya! I just got my GSX too! I donno what to think now:)


werd, the noise usually stops, even if the engine wont run anymore. At least you don't have to worry about the noise.

i hope ur being sarcastic?

Yes, he is.


Jack it up and see if hte crank pulling can be moved laterally with a pry bar/screw driver/etc. Not to hard, just hard enough to see if it moves. Iif you see or hear any movement ( a thunk ), :(
