whats going on guys?
well here i am once agian looking for answers, but let me begin from the begining. On apr 16 06, i drove back down from port saint luce to ft lauderdale and when i exited I95 i down shifted into 4th gear and i felt the car shutter, but i did not think anything of it unitl i got to the light and needed to take off. The car just started to shutter badly. i had it in first and took off then it bogged down as if it was misfiring and didnt have any power. since i was near the inlaws i pulled into the driveway and checked under the hood and looked under the car to see if i could see any leaks or damage but i didnt see anything. i left and drove it home but it still did the same thing. i would take off and it would bog down then get power then bog down, so the next day i decided to change plugs and found that the valve cover gasket was leaking and the contacts in the plugs for the #3,4 cylinders were black with corrosion from the oil that was getting in the tubes. I orderd the parts, asked you guys for help and fixed that problem, BUT was that the real problem? i dont know. the reason i say i dont know is because it fixed the leak issue but know im getting a wierd sound from the tranny which i did not notice before but could have actually been the culprit.
Wow that was a lot of writing. But now heres the issue. when i engage the clutch i hear kind of a hollow/sloshing sound or chirping. so could this have been the real issue or s it just something else. I'm now thinking its a clutch issue and i may need to change the clutch, or should i just start with the clutch slave cylinder? guys please help.
One more thing and i'll stop writing this book. I love to do things on my car myself, and im not to worried about doing the clutch even though i know it may be a pain in the arse, but i need instructions if i do, and what the hell is ballancing the clutch and flywheel
thanks guys any info would help
