Ok, so I was giving the car a bit of abuse tonight then all of a sudden the clutch stopped working and I couldn't get into any gear. After about 10 minutes of driving the clutch starting working again, but whenever i use it there is grinding noise when it's on the friction point. No grinding noise when the pedal is fully in or out. Also the friction point is twice as big now. Clutch is a Exedy 5 puk.

+1 to the above

sounds like you may have burnt the plates on the clutch but you will need to take the box out anyway and i would suggest replacing all fluid and you may have boiled it...

giving the info you have provided its hard to say could be more issues with the box for all we know but it depends on what you mean by "ABIT OF ABUSE"

From a standstill I reved up car and droped the clutch in 2nd with my foot on the brake, quickly changed to 3rd, sat there for 3 seconds and peeled out up the road. When the tyres gripped I tried to change to 4th and thats when this started to happen. The clutch doesn't slip.

Yeah weird sound there

If it made it while just idling then it would be the thrust but that noise is just as it grabs.

Dropping it in 2nd puts a shit load of pressure on everything so I would suggest not doing that again dude. Only the hardcore drag racers with really quality clutches and lots of power do it

Still as I said in the end your going to have to take the gearbox out and inspect. It's to hard to diagnose over the Internet. I had trouble with my clutch and I had to bite the bullet and pull it out.

I think the clutch welded itself to the flywheel. On the drive home I must of broke it free and the grinding noise might be from parts of clutch still welded to the flywheel or the clutch is worn to the rivets.

It's welded it's self. You'll find little bits of brass imbedded in the flywheel.

Any brass button clutch that slips bad enough to create massive heat will try to weld it's self to the flywheel.

Just got a few questions:

This side faces the pressure plate right? Don't see how it would spin if I put it on the other way.

No gasket goo on the front cover gasket?

What size are the nut that go on here? Turns out my car never came with them lol.

I'm guessing you pulled it off to check the bearing?

Just put a very thin smear just to be sure. That is if the gasket is still in good condition. If it has any tears or is a bit rough get a new one, there's nothing worse than putting it all back together to find it has a leak.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
