Well after a full day my new clutch is in and the stock clutch wasnt bad at all or ever burned it was out of alignment aint that some shit ....

 

why did u change it?

 

^^^+1

 

 

I had already bought it just in case and since it was alot of work to take it apart i just threw it on i got it from the dealer for cheat ...

 

so sell your good oem one and recover the cost of replacement.

 

Nah im sending the original one out to get it done up custom

 

and then you're going to go on the mission of reinstalling it?

 

may i ask how much it cost you ?

 

Yeah ... but it was only a mission because it was the first time doing it .....it was a hassle to drop the sub-frame because i didint want to support the engine up top i didnt want to scratch anything .... next time its ganna take half the time ....the dealer has a special type of jack that looks like a table connects to the sub-frame in a 2 piece which allows to support the engine on the bottom and drop the sub-frame next time ill go to my boy at aura to do it

 

well i didnt really pay anything because i have them alldata and ondemand programs he needed so i i hooked him up.... its alot of hours man

 

Crazy fn job but great experience .....

 

I do not understand your "out of alignment" statement. To me it just sounds like you needed an excuse to change out the clutch. The input shaft on the trans lines up with the clutch disk centering it so if it was not aligned your transmission would not be together or someone really godlike somehow put it together. Either way looks like a fun job.

 

Nah man the 2008 TL-S comes with a self adjust clutch which means it has like 4 pins with springs on it if they release ull lose clutch meaning ull slip up top..... Look at the preassure plate you will b able to c the adjusting pins .......

 

Ill show u my stock clutch ull c its brand new

 

The SAC mechanism is different. I have seen plenty of Audi's have there SAC mechanism's fail whether it be improper replacement or just randomness. I haven't had an issue with mine. Unless yours was defective or something I would take it back to the dealer and have a talk with them.

 

Nah it was my fault i was slipping clutch shifting hard at high rpm because of the stupid slave cylinder valve so it was going off adjustment .....And after i got my car tuned it was even more up top

 

when you say slave cylinder valve...do you mean you caused the issue because of the delay? or because you removed the valve?

 

The delay. I think if he removed it he would have said "mod" or "delete". This valve retards the engagement so power is delivered in a smoother fashion. The down side is that if your a speed demon it will cause pre-mature wear.

 

The delay the honda tec was at my job last nite and told me to take it off ...... i work at a autoparts store he came in the back grabbed his tools told me to get the cylinder and he took it off for me .....

 

Just making sure. I did this a long time ago and have never looked back. Wait till you drive the car without it. It's amazing how much better it makes it.

 

It was a bitch to remove the lil clip on it he was going fn crazy here lol .......i seen opel pictures and he shaved it down but this dude didnt so it was hard to remove that clip.....im ganna get it at lunch time to go wash it and break in the clutch .....lets c what how it feels....

 

I chimed in on Opel's thread and also had my own thread. I actually made the suggestion to cut a channel in the top of the slave with a dremel (where the clip is open so you don't cut it) to make it easy to pull it out. Worked for me.

TRUST ME...you're gonna love it. It makes the car drive like every other older Honda manual I've ever owned. I'm even thinking this was the reason people don't like "drive by wire" because it was around the same time that people got drive by wire that they got this valve and it sucks.

 

Well its done just cleaning up and washing it ... lets c how it goes want to break it in tonite so tomorow i can do some top-end pulls
