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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
