Brand new clutch (napa) and brand new flywheel (hays). It never chattered but one day i started my car put it in neutral and left it when i came back the choke raced the motor to 25-3K rpm and i smelled clutch. I think it might have glazed the clutch surface a little because sometimes coming from a start it will chatter the whole car nothing real bad but it never did it before that incident. Will it wear back to normal? thanks

 

If you left it in neutral and walked away, it's tough to think that you smelled clutch when returning to the car, regardless of RPM. There should have been no clutch disengagement (read: opportunity to burn the clutch) whatsoever.

The only way that would be possible would be if you bled the system such that the slave was pre-loading against the fork and pressuring the pressure plate a bit.

If drivability is totally normal now except for a little bit of chatter off the line, and that chatter is at really low rpm, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sometimes, wear will bring a clutch back to normal, sometimes it'll be stuck that way. As long as it didn't heat up and warp the flywheel, disc, or PP, then the former should happen.

come to think of it .. i let someone move my car that might not completely known how to drive a stick a little before the choke thing. They said they knew how to drive it so it might not have been. Either way, will that work out? Clutch/motor has 1300miles on them. Havent beaten on it yet.

 

I'm disappointed.

 

Gotta let the new cam/crank/rod bearings set in

 

Thank you very much
