Scraping really bad...no idea what to do

[saphiredsm]

OK well...i traded my 93 miata for this 97 eclipse n/t about a month ago and when i got it, it was making a really bad scraping noise when the clutch was depressed and when i was accelerating from 1st to 3rd and then it would quit after 3rd unless i depressed the clutch and revved the engine after 3rd...just sitting there idling it sounded fine...i thought it might be that post where the transfer case and drive shaft and the brakes were talking about but i watched the video and mine sounded HELLA WORSE!!!...i mean it sounded like it was tearing shit up as i was driving...well the guy down at the Mitsubishi dealership said it was my pressure plate or clutch spring that popped out and scraping in there...well after a long 3 and a half weeks <long ####ing story of why it took so long> i have finally replaced the pressure plate and clutch assembly and nothing really seemed wrong with the old clutch or pressure plate but i was like what the hell ill replace it anyway and thats when i figured out that the fulcrum that the clutch fork sits on had no fulcrum ...the plastic piece at the tip was gone so i bought the little plastic piece from the dealership <you dont wanna know how much V_V> and got that shit in and just recently i got my transmission in and I'm at the last few things to put together before its running again and i cant wait to see if its gonna make that sound again...i just wanted to know if anyone else had the problem happen to them and if they solved it or have the solution to what the problem is...and also I'm sure this was discussed earlier but i need to know how, what all i need, what all is involved and prices for installing a 6 bolt cyclone 4g63t in my 97 eclipse n/a....i appreciate anyone and everyone taking time to read and i will be greatly appreciative of any and all answers...thanks a lot.

nope...never had this problem, but let us know if it still makes that sound. As far as your question about a 6 bolt cyclone, it honestly would be alot better if you purchased a turbo car. Of course it can be done...but it is usually cost restrictive for most ppl. Get with me and i will direct you to local DSM shop that can help you if that is the route you wanna go.

ok well i got my car running and it didnt make the scraping sound...thank god...well it is grinding a little bit and it sounds like my friends talon and he says that the throw out bearing needs to be greased before its put in it so im gonna have him do that...i was wondering if there was a spring or a pin thats supposed to go behind the clutch fork orr somewhere in there...also my taillights, parking lights, dash lights, and reverse lights dont work...evcer since i got done putting my transaxle in they quit working...ive checked the grounds and the fuses so im not sure...any one else have any suggestions on what i should check and how?...any help would be appreciative
