my clutch is toast...

[Dicipleofthelie]

yup..on the way home from work today my clutch started to disengage under acceleration...then about 20 minutes later the clutch was totaly burned and i could get no power from it.....i stopped at a stoplight and it would NOT go...just sit there and spin....toast

and about 30 mins ago i went out to attempt to drive it...and i had nothing...it wouldnt even die when i let the clutch out while at a stand still.......bad stuff

[Chris Corolla S]

wow that sucks big time...

Looks like a new clutch is in order

[Corollin]

put in a performance clutch now

[michael9413]

Ya it is just the rite time to modify...
Why don't change to a better performance one...

[Dicipleofthelie]

meh....the motor has 300K on it...MOTOR SWAP!

[Rmonkey]

Mine was failing and just got it replaced with a Centreforce one at 220,000km. Even my wife commented that my clutch works better than her Echo that only has 30,000km. Damn expensive tho'

[Dicipleofthelie]

what exactly would does a "performance clutch" do that OEM doesnt?

[Rmonkey]

Per the centreforce website - holds better. I find climbing hills or inclines a breeze in my car now, but scary in the Echo or using my old clutch. IF you were towing you would notice a difference too.

someone else can probably explain this more technically.

[Dicipleofthelie]

meh....i ordered a OEM clutch *shrugs* its not "officialy" my car yet, so i shall play by the fathers rules......FOR NOW!!!!...MUAHAHAAaaaaaa

so yeah found a good 4ALC motor for the swap...nothing fancy..but it only has 162K miles on it...and has high compression...within a week or so it shall be in.
I also found some 87 Corolla FX GTS power ajustable and folding mirrors..... ...im working on taking them and all the associated wireing out currently....this old rolla sedan is gonna be a bad mo fo when i get done with her.

[hopeful]

a better clutch wouldn't do much for you... the oem's probably got a longer life and has just the right amount of clamping force.

I mean were not moving 8 tonne trucks with 1600TQ right?

[Dicipleofthelie]

oh yeah!

this rolla has over 70 horse power and NEARLY 6000 ft Lbs or torque

i can pull semi's!

good point though...so the OEM stays till later

and those mirrors are badass.....but...anyone know if the power mirrors in an 86 corolla (i dont care what model) are connected to the fuse box?

[4Aaron GE]

If it uses electricity and is stock, it's connected to a fuse somewhere.

[Dicipleofthelie]

thought so....im gonna finish pulling it tommaro

[Dicipleofthelie]

i got the mirrors ready to go

and currently i have both the axles out of my car...next....to drop the tranny
