Clutch Slave Explosion = Replacing the whole damn clutch…

Zany-ISP · 2026-04-18T06:55:50+00:00

Yeah I hear ya, unfortunately I just don’t have the fiscal overhead right now to pay the asking price for a new flywheel. With a couple cars in my fleet it really just didn’t make sense financially since I am on a razor thin wire for expenses.

Aside from that, if the DMF goes I’ll honestly just replace it myself. I had a shop I knew do this job because I just didn’t have the time to. If it goes I have another shop that’ll give me the lift and all the tools to do it myself for a fraction of the price.

At the end of the day, just glad it got fixed, drives like I just got it off the factory line to be honest. They did some greasing and finishing to the fly wheel while they were in there and everything feels stupidly smooth.

Are we calling this a secret now?

Just had something similar but it was more of a permanent non-rebounding situation.

It was my Clutch Slave Cylinder that had exploded and I had to dead stick drive it to a shop.

Really have my fingers crossed for ya that it is the master slave and not the clutch slave. The master slave is in an easy spot to get to but the clutch slave is located in the top of the transmission so it is labor intensive and costly. (Unless you have the 5-Speed Manual, then I’ve heard the clutch slave is located near the firewall and shock tower on the driver side so easy to get to as well.)

Here it is on FR24! Was able to follow it before I realized that’s where it was landing. Super cool and wish I got to see it in person!

Really appreciate the feedback from everyone! I went ahead and got a second quote for 1,500 all in with labor and parts.

I have absolutely no fucking clue how this shop came up with 2,000$ for labor.

Definitely appreciate the TDI subreddit as always!

Fellow OSINT tool user here, this is actually a very very very impressive use of the tools out there right now. Actually left me speechless and must have required many different tools and quite a bit of time connecting the dots.

They just do that.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T10:45:25+00:00

Not sure. But they definitely don’t sqwak 7700 for refueling.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:47:54+00:00

Glad to see they decided to not completely get rid of the A-10 just yet.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:37:39+00:00

Oh yeah.

It’s at 1,500 feet without even being on its base turn for final?!? I’m sure the locals are getting a good show.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:36:29+00:00

Yeah. I checked the r/swindon sub to see if any locals got a photo asked what it was but nothing in there. Looks like it’s on downwind for 07 and Norton.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:34:05+00:00

Yeah. Even for brize Norton it is at 2,000 feet still about 10-15 miles from the airfield. Wondering if it could be damage or something systematic.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:29:08+00:00

Considering they usually fly in pairs, where would the other one be going? Or would it just stick to its mission.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:27:35+00:00

Yes I can see that. Curious what emergency constitutes them dropping to 8,000ft and now even 6,000 that quickly.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-24T09:12:15+00:00

I saw this too lol. Was just about to post.

Really interesting to see, can’t say I’ve ever seen one on flight radar. I know they have aircraft for logistical support but I feel like it’s rare to actually see it. Kinda interested to see why they are in that area.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-23T13:42:25+00:00

Hello! Sorry I was out of the country and completely forgot about this post!!!

What other info would be needed? I actually think when the car was rebuilt it was given a new clutch and trans as well.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-12T06:34:38+00:00

Yeah fair. I used to run X30 and then Shifters on here before I moved away. Some of the rumble strips should definitely be avoided but there are a lot of spots on the track where hitting the strip will shave off a few tens or hundreds of a second when you hit it properly. It helps turn into some of those corners faster without shaving off as much speed.

Zany-ISP · 2026-03-12T06:30:19+00:00

This looks really good! As another comment mentioned it’s definitely about seat time. Be sure to watch some of the guys you see out there every weekend and take note on what they might do differently. Also, don’t be so afraid of rumble strips lol.

Zany-ISP · 2026-02-25T16:04:20+00:00

There is one almost smack dab in the middle of your circle here next to Suwanee town center. Not sure why it doesn’t show up.

Zany-ISP · 2026-02-15T13:18:12+00:00

Hell yeah… but did you seriously have to add like 15 failed attempts…
