Thread: Clutch bearing...

  1. #1

    Question Clutch bearing...

    Once the clutch pilot bearing starts howling like a stuck pig, how long, realistically, can the car keep going before the damned thing seizes up and won't go any further?

    In other words, I've got the parts, I just need to make the time to see someone to replace it but would still like to make it out to lunch tomorrow...

    It could last a while or it could seize later today.

    Would you like us just to take some wild ass guesses for you, is that what you are needing??

    Bring it to lunch then we can take it to Justin.

    So you're offering a ride back, eh?

    And that's an affirmative on the wild guesses... I like those the best! Sort of like the day out at the Mineral Ring when altiain was riding along and we heard that G-d awful clang coming from the back of my car! We took a wild guess... and I still made it home after 2 more runs and almost a hundred miles to Frisco!

    Don't you mean Miata Technologies... I'm running short of free tools to be found in my car later.

    It will just eat away at the fingers on the presure plate until it wears through them. Then you wont hear it howling any more. Don't you need some more
