I heard it could also be bearings - Is it something that can be fixed when replacing the clutch? - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Member 185 Member For: 16y 8m 6d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich, QLD Posted 27/04/09 06:09 AM Share Posted 27/04/09 06:09 AM I've got a BF and know what that's like! Changed from 20's to 18's again and the problem was solved.So going along with what djkice said, maybe a suspension/wheel upgrade/change is needed to solve your problem?As for the clutch, if its only 1st gear then I wouldn't get too up in arms about it. Better yet, dont use 1st gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 29/04/09 03:21 PM Share Posted 29/04/09 03:21 PM (edited) I hope I don't ever tramp again.....That video gives me bad memories of my car.But yeah since I got rims/sticky tyres/springs it seems to be gone. Although Tocchi has suspension setup and rims/tyres so :hiwelcome: Unless my heavy stereo gear hold my rear end down more or the extra power from mods...
