my clutch is sticking...like if i shift hard (which i do sometimes under normal driving) it will stick and i won't notice it til i smell it and it annoys me. and there's a flapping sound in my intake which only happens when i accelerate.

 

I had a similar thing happen to me in my old Datsun pick up. I was told that the return/relief valve was sticking or partially clogged w/dirt. I thought it was simpler than that and that is was the piston return spring getting weak. But either way (I never did find out for sure) I had to replace the clutch master cylinder. That solved the problem.

 

hopefully it's under warranty. it's not bad driving because i know how to drive and if it's sticking it's not something i'm doing on purpose.

 

Didn'tsay it was. I can't be absolutely sure, but it sure sounds like a hydro-mechanical failure to me, Jen.

 

i'm not saying you did just making a statement. what exactly is hydro-mechanical?

 

You seemed a bit sensitive about it so I just wanted to reassureyou...
As I'd said, clutchmaster or clutch slave would be my best guess. If neither of those is the problem, then you may have a broken/weak finger on the pressure plate.... Had that happen on my Honda. But again, w/o seeing or driving the car, I'm only speculating.

 

ahh i see so basically it sounds like the warranty should cover it?

ahh no not sensitive at all was just making a statement sorry if it came across that way.


btw: i updated my photo gallery

 

lol. ahhhhhhh fight fight fight. hahaha just kidding but see as i figure that if the clutch is doing that. get it checked riight away. i always though that my clutch was screwed.. then after i got an oil change it is just fine.. guess its a hit and miss kinda thing.

 

yeah i changedededed my oil lol i'm using synthetic now but the problems have been there before i switched oil so yeah..

 

i thought you werent supposed to use synthetic in a rotary engine...
