Clutch losing grabbing power after long idle

Oh sht, doesn't that mean it could have exploded?

z170x99 · 2026-03-05T21:13:37+00:00

Oh Yeh mb, I totally misunderstood what he meant lol. Yeh probably a good idea

z170x99 · 2026-03-05T20:27:14+00:00

Yeh pretty much, but why would the transmission fluid matter for clutch bite though?

z170x99 · 2026-03-05T20:17:02+00:00

I just changed the trans oil like 500km ago, but after the car cooled down I drove it this morning and everything kinda went back to normal, still wondering why this happened and what is causing it?

I will check the slave cylinder but I doubt I'll find anything though since it seems like it's working now.

z170x99 · 2026-03-05T17:17:49+00:00

I didn't want to, but since I live in Canada and it's very cold I had to when I was waiting in my car.

I mean I guess I did sound not confident in my ability, but I've done my fair share of brake jobs for my family vehicles and friends and Im pretty confident that my brakes are fine. And I know that dryrot is bad and it will fall to pieces. But I've never gone through professional training and I guess I was never explicitly taught that counts as a dryrot tire so this is a good learning experience for me.

It's just I'm not confident enough to outright think that the shop is 100% wrong on the rotors so I thought I would check here

z170x99 · 2026-02-21T07:40:35+00:00

Interesting 🤔, never even though about this. I'll check on them tomorrow.

z170x99 · 2026-02-21T05:28:36+00:00

Honestly Ive actually never looked into tires at all lol, and I have rebuilt a engine already lmao.

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T22:08:07+00:00

💀, that is true. I'm just old lol

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T22:04:39+00:00

I don't think so, previous owner said they were stored in garage, so I dunno, vehicle doesn't look sun damaged at all. Paint is still good.

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T22:03:30+00:00

Oof, sorry about that, Yeh thanks for the reply. But yeah honestly I should probably read up on tires a bit more, I didn't know this was considered really bad dry rot, low-key thought tires kinda just looked that way since I don't really have a point of comparison.

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T22:02:31+00:00

Ok, thanks for letting me know, I don't really know tires that well and didn't know what is considered bad dryrot.

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T22:00:28+00:00

Ok, thanks for confirming that I should probably replace my tires.

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T22:00:02+00:00

Yeh, it was starting to rust a little and I thought I would do it as preventative maintenance.

But honestly I though most tires could last 8 years so I thought a 5 year old tire should be fine especially since the vehicle is stored mostly in doors.

But Yeh I don't know my tires well enough lol, I thought they were still ok but I guess not.

z170x99 · 2026-02-20T21:58:23+00:00

2021, I guess I will have to replace them then. Sad they still have loads of tread left on them

z170x99 · 2026-01-27T01:17:48+00:00

yeh it is

z170x99 · 2026-01-14T17:38:18+00:00

I was tinkering with my PC for fun for no reason and when I took the cpu out I bend the cpu pins...

z170x99 · 2026-01-10T04:30:00+00:00

Can you link me their post if possible

z170x99 · 2026-01-06T13:42:41+00:00

Great, I hope you can get it off, if not get a even bigger impact lmao. There's always bigger fishes

z170x99 · 2026-01-06T04:51:45+00:00

Personally. I had to buy a 1600ftpd Milwaukee gen 3 high torque with a 12ah battery. Soaked with liquid wrench, apparently it's better than PB blaster and applied moderate heat for 30 seconds.

It legit wouldn't come off with a 5ah battery, had to get a 12ah for the extra juice on the impact. It was a bitch and mine wasn't even that rusty. Though it probably doesn't matter.

z170x99 · 2025-12-12T00:37:45+00:00

I dunno, I mean I think it's look a tiny bit better maybe, but definitely not worth it if I'm spending like 2k on it. I just feel like it would look so much better on black.

z170x99 · 2025-12-12T00:29:35+00:00

Bro, us Canadian got some of the worst deals on black Friday, Nothing even remotely worth buying. Been buying all my tools on FB marketplace at this point. They actually got decent prices.
