wtf is up with this cars clutch???

it went out last week.. had it replaced and the first day it goes out again. thank god dodge gives a 6 month or 6k miles on the warentee for the clutch.

how the fuck does a brand new clutch go out in 1 fucking night??

bad install?

[GearGrinder]

i donno... what could have happened?

it was weird it was fine on the way home last night then i went out for food and it shit on me right when i started driving away.

[Nolimitslja]

You have to slowly release the clutch pedal to get the car going when it first gear you can't dump the clutch everytime and expect it to last... j/k I agree with cali on this one definitley sounds like a bad install.

[GearGrinder]

hahaha i know this man... im going with bad install as well..

[SRT4SmokinU]

Yeah when i first got my car and the car wouldnt shift right into 2nd gear, so the dealership replaced the clutch. Well it still did it then they replaced the whole tranny! Tranny was bad from factory

[GearGrinder]

wow... well if its the tranny then they do it for free... but sucks cause i cant go with out a car any longer.

[Dano Moparo]

I'd put money that the dealership hack fucked it up. That or someting is tweeked.

I'm sorry, I can't get over the name GearGrinder and having problems with your clutch.:lol: j/k

[GearGrinder]

hahaha thats the only name i could think of at the time.

i got the car back today and drove it 5 miles and it happened again.

they told me that the throw out barring was rubbing against the pressure plate and just melting it and therefor ruining the clutch. so they have it over the weekend again..

how the fuck can this happen? anyone have any insight?

Take your car somewhere else...

this is definately a tranny problem...have them replace the tranny next time around, its kinda hard to fuck up the install of a modular clutch

yea a clutch install is a breeze i dont see how these "techs" can fuck one up. its gotta be something else where are you taking it?

[Dano Moparo]

All that crap is pretty much self adjusting. I wonder if the motor or tranny shifted, like a mount or something? Gotta be something tweeked or out of line.

[GearGrinder]

as long as its something other than the clutch then dodge will fix it under warentee right?

i took it to brandon transmissions.. they told me if they cant fix it by tomorrow they are cutting me a check for what i paid them and be done with it
