haha.


no wonder it was riding funny.


in other news, when i slowly release the clutch, and it starts to buck (even with engine at 2k) does that mean the clutch has worn badly?

 

[AlmostFunny]

means you need a tune up.

WTF does a tuneup have to do with the clutch? 😕

What exactly do you mean? You release the clutch slowly, and at a certain point it jerks the car back and forth?

Swap front left with rear right, and you be rollin with the front up, straight gangsta yo.

no, it almost feels like it bucks up and down. there's no forward or backward change, but the entire car shakes. i'm not talking like a fast shake (like off balance tires on the freeway) i'm talking about a shake where the frequency goes like this.

i can just imagine going gangsta' in this!


wait.. no i cant! 😕

Side question: what are the pressures on the tires supposed to be?

 

[NutBucket]

Sounds like your clutch is chattering. Hmm, it could be glazed from being ridden (tho I kinda doubt it?). The other thing is it could have oil on it (are you losing oil/see any puddles?). Oil on a clutch will almost definitely make it chatter.

28 - 30.

we pumped em to 30 fronts, 32 backs.

lol

look at the car. it leaks everything!

lol... i replaced the clutch like last year over summer. it would really suck if it's already out of whack. my father drove the car, he doesnt say anything...so maybe it's just my driving.


oh, and in other news, on the advice of the people of atot on what's ghetto, i now have a white t-shirt as my seat-cover. it's to cover that worn over and decomposing area visible in one of the pics.

Was the rear main seal replaced? If not then it may be leaking since it's probably been in there a long time. I know mine leaked and caused my brand new high-performance clutch to chatter. Fixed the leak and the chatter stopped. My friend's Mustang also chatters because he's losing oil out of the rear.

 

[Eli]

I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts to get worse. It's an old car, being gentle with it is probably probably good common sense advice. 🙂

the entire thing's been rebuilt 2x. so i can only assume.

this last time, they sold my father junk, and he didnt question it... so he installed it, and now we get 400 miles per quart of oil. if that.

Ok, then I would definitely guess oil leak as to the cause of your problem.

funny thing is when i pulled out the old clutch, it didnt have any oil contamination. 😕

Nah. That isn't going to hurt it nearly as much as dumping the clutch and redlining each gear at every light. 😛

"We"? I didn't realize pumping air into tires was a two man operation.. 😉

Bullshat - be gentle with new cars - stuff from the 80's and before can be ragged to death for a good 10 more years or so. They don't build 'em like they used to.

Well, seals just give. If it was already leaking you would have seen it. For it to get progressively worse to where it is now within a year isn't unlikely.

My sarcasm meter must need new batteries.

WTF are you talking about? 😛 As if there's been a significant change in car quality over the last 20 years? Actually, there probably has.. but it hasn't been minus overall. 😛

If anything I think a lot of cars are designed to last about 10-20 years. I know on my Accord a lot of the "little stuff" is breaking. Stupid stuff like some plastic clips and things like that. Or the chrome coming off some of the plastic bits.

I imagine that could be true. Maybe they realized they were shooting themselves in the proverbial foot by overengineering everything. Or maybe they just cut costs on the little things in the cabin. I'm pretty sure newer cars are more solid overall than older ones. Newer technology, better understanding, etc...

Aren't some of the wost cars as far as reliability from the 80s domestic scene?
