Ok guys here is the deal. My original motor at the timing belt. Thats fine. I bought a used motor and swapped it in. Fine. Car ran ok but had a lot of vibration. This is my troubles/symptoms.
Everytime I start the car I get a screeching/grinding noise. Goes away once I release the clutch pedal. Car was vibrating badly
My mistake was that after I did the swap, I forgot to put in fluid back in. I know dumb mistake, but I live to learn. now flash forward 1 month to today. I was driving down the road just leaving a stop light and doing about 15 mph. The car wheels just locked up. It felt like I mashed the brake pedal. I couldnt get it to move after that.
The front wheels move ok. rears were locked up. Towed the car to my teachers garage. We took out the T case to find metal shavings on top from the flywheel rubbing on it. I do not know how but thats what we found. So we took out the t case and hung up the driveshaft . I took it for a test drive and it drove ok. Still had the screeching/grinding on startup though.
We also bled the system and the car didnt really grind when I pushed down the clutch. This was a major problem because the grinding when I push down the clutch I think was the flywheel rubbing on the t case. Whats the cause of this. I have all bolts in the tranny to engine combo. Any help / comments appreciated.
What I plan to do. Buy clutch master cylinder repair kit. Fix that. Little drops by the rubber boot.
Next buy the extended slave cylinder rod.
put in master cylinder and bleed system.
Any opinions/ help?
Can I run the car in FWD mode somehow until I find a t case for cheap? Thanks for your help guys. Ill be checking this every few min for updates.
