Running my OBR Engine

It's the clutch carrier!

Guys... IT'S MY CLUTCH CARRIER!! The piece that hold the two pad to place..... one of the arm of the carrier cracked... cause the clutch to engage when I try to start. Resulting in my car trying to move forward...... I'm considering asking the OBR guys on what I should do to not void any warranty. It looks like I can try replace the clutch carrier but the problem is I don't have the piston stopper so I don't know if I can replace it myself. What do you guys think is the most cost effective without voiding my warranty?

You can always use a piece of rope for a piston stoper.

How do you use the rope though? Do you feed it through the piston to the exhaust exit? Or do you tie the rope somewhere on the flywheel? My other question is, my clutch are screwed onto the carrier by these hex screw.... not the allen screw... what is the correct way to take out these hex screws?

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Where do I get a durable clutch carrier that won't break on me if I need to get one? (How did this happen anyways guys?)

You can do it yourself.

Here's the clutch plate...

Zenoah 54mm Clutch Plate and Clutch Plate Bolt Set

You feed the rope in through the spark plug hole. Or, you could buy a piston stopper. They're pretty cheap.

Piston Stopper Tool

As for the clutch bolts, just get a ratchet and a socket and back them out. Same process, different tool.

Thank you! So for sure that Zenoah clutch carrier you listed should work right? Its the exact same clutch carrier? Can I test if my engine runs with out the clutch carrier installed?

 

[Deluge]

If it looks like this, then yes. A ratchet and a socket will get it done.

Ordering 8k spring, clutch carrier and piston stopper. Do you think my Clutch is damage from the incident? What should I look for regarding damage on the clutch?

 

[Deluge]

Yes, it's an OEM part. It'll fit without any issues. It comes with the clutch plate bolt.

If it doesn't have any cracks, it's fine.

I've only had my mt for 3-4 months and I had to change mine. It was GONE! Just throwing that out there...

My clutch....

You can't see the cracked on the carrier but I wanted to show you my clutch. I think they are re-usable. What socket size do I need to take out the bolts here holding my clutch to the carrier?

 

[ChuenouXiao]

How do I extract this screw from my gear plate?

I stripped the head so I've managed to drill the head away... I use pliers but so far am not successful yet.... any tips?

Clutch pads look new still.

The screw can be removed with an easy out. Home Depot should have a set. You basically drill a hole in the stuck screw and the easy out will thread to the left into the hole as it gets to tight to turn in any more it will back out the stuck screw.

Which easy out is the strongest? Brand? What should I look for? Titanium material?

+1 on the easy out. You could slot the bolt with a dremmel ,then turn it out with a screwdriver.Also you may want to try to grab it with a small pair of vice grips. Put the vice grips on sideways,don't think there`s enough to grab it from the top.Good luck.You could also back the screw out with a small hamer and chisel,delicately.

I like the dremel idea but I don't have a dremel.... yet..... may have to bring it over to my brother's place to use his dremel

Slot it and then heat it up before you try to back it out.
