I recently replaced my clutch and it went out on me twice, the mechanic replaced it once for free and now he is charging me again saying it is the way I drive and to let it adjust & he does not provide warranty on my next installation if I purchase another from him. I dont know if it is a low quality he is using or something else. The car would start ratteling when engaging 1st gear and get worse and worse after like a month and a half and now again my clutch pedal felt like something snapped and that was it I cant press the pedal down. Another guy told me the flywheel needs to be replaced not resurfaced. Does anyone have suggestions or been through something similar, I need help before I drop another $500 plus. I also have a guy selling me a used zoom clutch with less than 100 miles for $100 is it a good price and a good brand?

 

The flywheel needs resurfaced. My car vibrates when i'm taking off in 1st gear too and sometimes vibrates going into 2nd. It's most definitely your flywheel. Plan on going through alot of clutches if you don't get that fixed. A re-manufactured flywheel is like $100. What year is your car? 3.4? 3.8? 5.7?

 

1994 5.7 Z28, and I'm thinking of buying the zoom clutch but it need a throw out bearing, can I buy one cheap or can I use the one I already have?

 

I wouldn't buy a used one simply because it wont have a warranty. This is what I would get:

That way you have a full clutch set AND a new flywheel that are both under warranty.

 

Thanks, I'm gonna look into it......
