New Z1 Clutch failing at 2k miles...?

Spaghetti999 · 10-21-2023, 06:27 PM

Took my car out for the first time in 2-3 weeks
20 min drive, somewhat spirited
No problems were noticed until heat built up, then some gear shifts felt "sticky" when going from 2-3-4. Definitely hard to go from 1-2 when accelerating hard in 1st gear.

Got back home, hard to get into 1-6 gears while idle in my garage, and even harder and almost impossible to drop it into reverse. No idea what could be causing this but i will flush some fluid out tomorrow if time permits

Did you replace the pilot bushing when you had the trans out? A failing pilot bushing can cause the input shaft on the trans to sag and cause difficulty shifting into gears.

Clutch fluid reservoir has been full for the past 2500 miles. Fluid level has not changed thankfully. Pilot pushing came with Z1 kit and was replaced.
