wsmith30132 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have a ACT street disc with the HD pressure plate and it has around 35k on it. In the last week when the car has sat for a while the clutch feels rough right before full engagement. It goes away after 2 or 3 releases. (pulling out of driveway in R then in 1st) I do have a braided clutch line so its more sensative but this feel is new. Anything i should worry about? It doesnt make any sounds and drives normal?

Max Capacity Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Sounds like a little rust is building up from not driving it.

wsmith30132 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 That entered my mind and thats what it feels like but why would it be happening all of the sudden and never before? Its been on for a couple years now and its my daily driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Had to ask...didn't you ? Have you driven the car hard lately. When I baby my car, it doesn't like it. Every now and then you need to let it run...like the turbo charged engine was ment to. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

wsmith30132 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 hahaha, wish i could. For about 40k now every time I'm in 2nd or 3rd gear it gets hammered untill im up to speed. I just shift easy then let er rip. I usally run 2nd up till 5.5-6k all day every day. After reading these forums I'm surprised it hasnt blow up . I didnt mod it not to run it, just good ol mid-westerner maintance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I think the key is regular oil changes and let the turbo cool before you shut it off. Just drive that bitch... 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
