Clutch :-( - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

c4koh · 08-30-2014

All,

I was out this morning, all good. On the drive back, onto the highway entry, I went from 2nd to third with a powershift, and - boom. It didn't go into third, lots of rattle, and the clutch won't disengage.

Clutch pedal feels normal (perhaps a bit softer), and if I push hard all the way to the bottom, and the engine is off, I can put it in gear (e.g. second), and then start the car, and and it will bump forward to start... so I got the car home. No way of changing gear once in gear and the engine's on, which made the multiple reds a pain! Had to switch engine off, wait for green, put it in gear then start...

Clutch pedal is now "squeaky", and also when the engine is on (in neutral or if engaged), there is a rattling and a high frequency whirr to go with it, clearly something's having fun going round and round...

This is a new clutch (<3 months old, <1000 miles), and was fine until this morning's power-shift. Original clutch cylinders, however.

Any thoughts?
