Have a 99. Did a bunch of work on it over the winter - Have put on 3500 Km since that time.
Did - AOS, Coils, Boots, Plugs, Flywheel, Clutch, Water Pump, Belt Tension-er pulley, RMS and IMS.
2 things are happening now.
One - When I use the clutch to slow down. Usually only when I go down into 2nd, If I am gentle with the clutch ( not sure how to describe it maybe ride it a bit) I can smell clutch plate burn.
Seems only if I take my time in releasing the clutch - will smell it if I am slowly crawling along in traffic or if I am backing up onto my ramps.
I do not remember the old clutch ever making any smell.
Two - When I first fire the car up I hear 3-5 ticks - this is just after the engine sparks up to life. then it goes away. Car from then on sounds perfect.
Any thoughts or ideas
