yea the more i think about it the more i think dimes right... the clutch will more than likely make it better, but i think u waited to long to fix it, so it's prolly time for a new rebuild.... i'll give ya an estimate if u want

damn dude i bought the car a week ago drove it 3 days with the clutch on the floor with no grind, drove it 2 days now with the clutch tight and it grinds when tight, you say tighten it upso the pedal is tight? thats when it started grinding.****

then loosen it and see what happens, there are a lot of things that could cause this...i'm just trying to rule out a few things...

when i say tighten it i mean make it so the clutch doesn't engauge right away make it so u have to lift it almost all the way to the top b4 it engauges

dimebag

homedawg was a joke, thought ud catch it, lol.

and if it has only been a few days, you might be able to save that syncro... adj that clutch!!! and let us know wut happens

94gt you said make it release almost at the top? can i ask why? also as previously mention when i had it releasing half inch off the floor it never made a sound. Also this morning on the way to work the transmission made the metal clunk sound for a split second when shifting to third. So im starting to put 2 and 2 together and thinkin the clutch isnt engaging or dis engaging properly.

94gtcoupe

well when the pedal is higher when it engauges than means it's pusshing the flywheels farther away from the clutch disc making sure it fully disengauges (when u press the pedal... just to clearify)

dimebag

if u put it that high, then all that travel under it will be it released... futher u push, further it moves the pressure plate back... thus ensuring the clutch is in fact released

AlabamaCobra

i still dont understand why making it release further up would help the grind, i can be in first gear and HOLD THE CLUTCH TO THE FLOOR and sling it back into 2nd and it will grind like hell with the clutch still to the floor, id have to shift to 2nd with the pedal about to release the clutch to make any benefit from raising the clutch position in the pedal. what difference does it make where it is engaging if it grinds when the pedal is on the floor.
