86HatchShelby Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 1986 GL Hatchback Was driving yesterday and a noise started from up front towards the drivers side, thought it might be an axle, as I was driving it got worse. Stopped at a stop sign and put the clutch in, as I was putting it in, there was a loud "KINK" and I lost almost all clutch. Managed to get it home all right. Any suggestions? :-\ -Jaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Throw out bearing went bad? Lost one of the spings in the clutch disc? How many miles on this clutch? nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Man, that sucks... Could have lost the clutch cable retaining nut :-\ I'm kinda lost on this one. Ummm, might have had a tine/tooth on the pressure plate snap, and given the history of the hatch, I wouldn't doubt it could happen. Twitch PS: I haven't forgotten about the 5 speed, I've been replacing/upgrading an alt on the brat. And fighting it all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 I believe clutch is original, meaning 170xxx on it. Will be looked at this week, thanks for the replies. -Jaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
