OneLEGup Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I have looked at other posts on here and cant seem to find exactly what I'm looking for so I will post this up. I have an 05 GT with 118,000 miles and this morning, cold a** morning, I noticed that the clutch pedal seemed a little rough and had a little vibration when pressing it to the floor. I also noticed that there was a very odd burning type smell and a squealing noise when it was depressed. I didnt have time to look and it was still dark out and again cold. As I was driving, when I applied the clutch, just in regular shifting it almost stalled out. Coming to a stop at a stop light, when I did press the clutch in it died and had a hard time starting. I reached where I was going and when I parked I smelled that weird smell again, I pressed the clutch in and every time damn near stalled it and made that horrible high pitched squealing noise. Reading some other posts on here sounds like it could be the TOB. Just wondering what I can do. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 TOB will make noise when pedal is pressed. I think you need a new clutch kit. Your pressure plate is probably damaged. At 118k, I'm surprised you made it this long! Get a single mass flywheel, your preference of clutch, and a TSK3 TOB kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilwaukeeMike Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Have it diagnosed by someone that knows what they are looking for- and have it fixed Sounded like TOB to me, but I'm not sure about the smell. There's a guide of sorts around the TOB. Maybe the TOB went bad and it's rubbing wrong on that guide.?? I just bought a TOB yesterday (reg maint.) it was about $60 at the dealership. I did find it for 37ish online but I don't have time to wait for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneLEGup Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I just realized that I posted in the wrong forum! So what would cause the burning smell? Also I don't get any slipping in the clutch would that just be a pressure plate issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneLEGup Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thank you for moving! So I looked when I got home and I noticed a substance on the front of the downpipe that was not there before all of this happened. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 CV grease. Check your CV for tears if there is a large amount of grease. If just a little, it's probably time to replace the strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yup, time for a new Clutch Kit and TOB. Sounds like the TOB is toast as it's not fully engaging the pressure plate. The smell is prob the TOB as the bearings have dried up and it smells like metal on metal burning. When it starts to go, you'll have scrap metal all inside the bell housing. Then again, if your CV boot is torn, that will cause a grease burning smell from your DP. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneLEGup Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 So looks as if the TOB for sure.....and now The damn CV boot, this is just awsome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 With 118k on the OD, you should be thankful. I've replaced my CV Boot at 60k, and 2 TOBs in the past 100,000 miles. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneLEGup Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I suppose your right, I was looking to get a different turbo until this all happened. Will the TSK3 TOB have to be replaced with that type of frequency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah the LGT TOB is not the strongest and when it goes it isnt fun. We've had a few come through with the same noise and when we crack the trans all the bearings fall about. So your best bet is just replace it and might as well do the clutch while you are there. CV boots go especially on the passenger side. Theyre cheap. -Jake http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly for your best Whiteline Price! | We also carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.

FJuan Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 My TSK still went out at around 40K, it all depends on you're driving style. I'm a little bit tough on my car, plus I do alot of heal/toe when down shifting. That puts a little more stress on the clutch system. My wife's balls are delicious.

303Patrick Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I just had the same thing happen to me. Be careful when my tob went it gouged the snub shaft on the trans. Luckily i was able have a sleeve kit installed. But I have heard that it can shear off the snub shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneLEGup Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I want to get back into building a WRX and although I would like to build this up I dont think it would pay off in the end. Easier to sell a stock GT then a modded one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Are you going to at least replace the TOB before you sell it? My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
