I just installed the FX300 in my car last week, i made sure it was the new one as well. I only have about 250 miles on it so far. My questions (1) do you hear a squel when the car is moving and goes away when the clutch is ingaged. (2) on your clutch do you have to have the clutch all the way to the floor to shift and when you do shift is it hard to get it into gear? These are all problems i am having and are woundering if this is normal. Thanks

sounds like a thowout bearing...??? did you bleed the clutch?

Ya, I had the a dealer install it. They said they blead it, but they said there might me still some air in the lines thats causing it to be difficult to get into gear. They said to wait for it to be broken in then they will bleed it again.

But what about having to have the clutch pressed all the way to the floor just to shift, is that normal for these clutches.

can u get into reverse? the first versions u had to shut the car off...select R...then restart. Is it that bad?

You can get into reverse but I have to force it in. I can't put the car in 1st unless im completly stoped other wise it just grinds.

sounds like u either got a first edition pressure plate or still a ton of air in the system

yah tell the to re-bleed it by hooking the mighty vac up to the master cylinder, if they tried to bleed it by hooking the vacuum up to the nipple on the tranny it wont work, they have to bleed it through the master cylinder. if this doesnt work then you got a bad pressure plate. Who did you buy your clutch through?

srt-killer

I bought my it through ultra rev but i sent it back to clutch masters for an exchange of the new one.

Well thanks to all the air in my system and making it hard to get into gear my roll pin snapped about 10 min ago, i was on my way to get lunch, when i was leaving the parking lot i went to put it into 1st and it snapped. This is the second time this has happend, It was coverd onder warrenty the last time but they said they won't cover it the next time. And now with me having a new clutch they can say that caused it due to the air in the lines, not to mention my nitrous kit. Who knows what they will say about that. This is one shitty monday!!!

goddamn man... and I thought I was having a bad day.... you should order a few through gm... I don't think its that hard of a repair,

srt-killer

Well i know the last time they replaced it they said they had to drill it out and re tapp it. I know the invoice on it came out around 1500 dollars.

i was about to say that when i got mine done, at first i had to push it down to the floor to shift and it was hard to shift and it was hard to go into reverse, but it gets better as the air gets out of the lines, but that suks bro. hopefully everything works out for u.

but once its broken in and all the airs out, its a sick clutch
