Hi y'all! On a road trip from Houston to Dallas my clutch started acting up. 95% of the travel was dead with no resistance and the last 5% would barely have any pressure and had a 50/50 chance of disengaging the clutch enough to change gears. Whenever I changed gears it took a lot of patience and pumping till I hit the chance it disengaged enough to switch gears. I had my master cylinder replaced about 8k miles ago at the stealership(which makes me want to go ahead and change it again myself even though I do not see any leaks) so I'm guessing it's the slave. My brake fluid reservoir hasn't lowered at all but I do see leaks around the transmission.
If I'm dropping the trans I want to change everything that is a wear item especially since I'm at 105k miles. I'm also on a budget so if there is something I have here that is unnecessary let me know.
Is it worth getting an LSD? The car is a daily driver with some track days and from what I can see mfactory plus install kit is already another $1,000 then labor so not sure. How much extra labor does it add? Also does an LSD come with reliability concerns?
Anyone have experience with single mass flywheels and how many miles you've got on them? Seeing that a new DMF is 720$ and the COMPLETE whoosh stage 3 kit with SMF is 900$ makes me very tempted to go with that especially if it's a performance improvement. It is a sprung clutch so I'd think it should be okay? However I cannot sacrifice reliability and I am in stop and go traffic often in Houston AND I also like to drive low rpm while stop and go leaving a big gap, rather than moving forward and stopping like all the automatic drivers. Can I get used to the SMF or is it crippling on the street? Thanks for all the replies!
