Pat,dont use the same names for parts that I do.More than likely my names are all wrong. The plates in the clutch pack that have the actual clutch material on them are what I was calling the friction plates. I have six friction plates that are all one size. The innermost plates. Then I have one outer friction plate that is a little larger in diameter. It goes on the very outside of the pack. I was saying inner and outer hoping to just be able to get my point across. Hope I didnt confuse you like I did myself.
Pulled the pan tonight and found some of the remnants of my clutch. Not enough to be all of it,of course. I suppose it's had been chewed up and pumped through all sorts of sensitive areas. yay.
Is there any other areas known for collecting debris I should try to get to? Or am I just stuck with a standard oil change and hope it flushes out?
These pieces feel more like hardened plastic than they do cork. You know how brittle and crunbly an old plastic oil line on a car oil pressure gauge gets? That is what these pieces feel like? Is this normal,or a sign of burnt friction material? When they call these plates cork,does that mean cork like a cork in a bottle,or what?
Lots of little chunks,too. And a few little slivers of aluminum. I'm pretty sure the aluminum came off the pressure plate. But the screen on the oil pump was spotless. Should I disassemble the oil pump and clean it out anyway? Any secrets/tips to doing this? Or should I just tear the pump down for good measure while I'm already in there?
Any ideas gang?
