My gearbox issue.. please look.
So, i have this issue,
and ill start from the start.
So i had my clutch replaced with an exedy sports tuff kit in July this year.
the work was done by Charlestown toyota who i work for,
However,it was full of dramas, not only did it take the tech 22hours inn job clocked time and 4 days of my car being off the road to be done, the slave cylinder failed, and i sourced a replacement,
upon driving it out, i noticed the clutch bite was very high in the pedal like from putting your foot on the clutch it was about 1 inch down, so i thought its ok just a new clutch,
fast forward to the last week or so
upon starting the car after work, or even sometimes before work
i cant pinpoint a common denominator so to speak when this occurs, it can be dead cold left overnight from driving and it may or may not do it, or it could be sitting in the sun for 2 hours and it may or may not do it so im not sure whats causing this.
BUT ill start the car, go to put my foot on the clutch and it will start to rattle nd vibrate quite violently.
untill my foot has released the clutch then it stops OR up untill the gearbox warms up or after 1-2mins of driving.
it is VERY noticible, now i thought- 'this is the perks of a HD clutch noisy release springs or noisy throwout'.
but i read this happens untill you put the foot on the clutch- not the other way around like in my case... ?
and also, it still has quite a high bite point.. it hasnt really come down much. the clutch has only done 3500kms.
Also i changed my shifter bushings to the brass twos r us ones about 3 months ago, not sure if they could contribute?
Also, my engine oil level is full- 10w40 royal purple
and my gearbox oil ijust changed 2 months ago to amsoil 75-90 smooth shift gl4
just wondering,
is that noise my clutch being screwed?
or is it normal,
is the high bite point normal?
and that rattle what could that be?
can someone help me,
should i demand them check the clutch? or could it be as simple as a bad bleed job?
Any opinions/help would be great.
