94 clutch question...MAJOR chattering
I have both main seals on my motor leaking which is being fixed now. I also had a power steering leak. So all this oil was pouring all over my bell housing/trany. Problem is, about 30k miles ago I had the clutch and flywheel replaced ( original lasted 150k) and the guy never put the guard back on. I am wondering if all my chattering could be because of it being oil soaked. Reverse is horrible like unusable. I am removing my motor for some work and will have the transmission out as well. I will see whats going on once its out but has anyone ever had an oil soaked clutch/flywheel problem? I am just trying to eliminate some things here

it also could be from the type of clutch you replaced the other with....I once had a RAM "puck" type disc and it chattered extremely bad in reverse shaking the whole car violently......the one I have now chatters but not as bad (SPEC stage 2); also I am running a Fidanza aluminum FW....doesn't help much either....

I think it started a little after the install. I dont know if its bad installation or what because the guy that did my clutch/flywheel did my rear end 4.11 gears and those things whine like my brother.

haha ya and the heater core isn't even leaking either !!..Its my second car and my dad bought it brand new in 94 so it has some value to me. I am just hoping I can get it to what it was before I started messing with it.
