Did my clutch, clunk clunk, WTF
cut it short to the point. clutch was done today, everything was done thoroughly, bleeded clutch and all. feels good!!
got on the road, gave a full throttle. as right in second gear. steering slinged shoted left, in control. then CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK, pulled over a few times on the way home. the last time. looking around suspension area,i noticed from a view in the engine bay that my axle popped out. i did somewat overlooked it. Could this be THe problem i ran into? i just cant get this out of my head. by the way it wasnt drivin far to get home.
any info would appreciated. if anyone ran into a common occurance

Re: Did my clutch, clunk clunk, WTF
yea foreal i hear that. gotta chill,
Did my axle driverside, lower ball joint busted. took out for a test driver right side axle making noise. SOO much for the holidays
Well, It was seated properly.
WHAT happend was this.
while was doing my clutch job first time. i pulled out both axles from the tranny. I just left both axles hanging on the lca in between the fork shock towers, and i believe it damaged them as it was just hanging there for a few hours.
Well happy hollidays to everyone, gotta head with the fam's and party hard tonight.
peace yall

Re: Did my clutch, clunk clunk, WTF
seriously. your clutch will hook up awesome for the first thousand or so miles. then you start to accelerate and your car goes no where. at the final stages of "glazing over" your clutch, you'll be able to kick start your engine- meaning, you can start your car, put it in first gear, pop out the clutch, and it will still run.
I know, I've done it.
break in your clutch well. No getting on it for at least 1500 miles. Read the specifications on your box.
good luck.

Is it an organic clutches since they do require around a 500 mile break in period. Ceramic and some of the other harsh abrasive clutches don't require really any miles to break them in.
