[RESOLVED] Squeeling from clutch

[srtkiller]

Ok here's the problem When I engage the clutch it will start to squeel really loud also when the clutch is engaged it feels like the motor wants to die it will start to shake and drop rpm's. Just when I thought everything was running great. GOD I LOVE DSM'S

Alright the problem just got worse tonight. I was on my way home and and the squeel got worse as I was pulling over it started to rattle really bad from the transmission side. I tried to move it someplace safe and the car won't go into gear without alot of effort while it is running. When the car is off o the other hand it shifts just fine. Please help I need to get parts ordered and have it fixed by the end of this weekend if not sooner.

Sounds like a broken bolt of some sort, such as a flywheel. Or a bad TOB (throw out bearing). Research a throw out bearing and see what comes up. I dont anything else it could be.

Well, I found the problem. When I pulled the transmission off and saw the pressure plate it was missing four of the fingers and the remaining fingers were grooved really bad from the tob. Just thought I update you guys. Also the flywheel has very small heat cracks do you think it could still be turned?

This RRE webpage has some excellent pictures and advice:

I think if you looked at the bad cores part it would help. Also we cant really tell you unless you post some pictures of it, so please do.
