Hi,Im getting some conflicting results on my search for the correct parts number for my gatorback belt. I just need to know for sure that 4060747 is the correct # and not 4060740 asprevious posters have mentioned .Thanks for any clarification

Quote, originally posted by djb383 Â»My thoughts exactly, couldn't have said it better. With a proper normal start, the engine rpm shouldn't exceed the normal idle rpm until after the clutch is fully engaged......or maybe no more than 100-200 rpm above idle rpm. If rpm is any higher during clutch en...

I agree that there could have been something else going on but as far as driver style goes we had zero issues wth the Jetta TDI we ran for almost 2 years, zero issues with the volvo S60R we have ran for 18 months both of which are standards. With the vibe I noticed immediately that you have to give ...

Sounds like not too bad of a deal... All I can say is if you go there to drive it, definately make sure you have the frame of mind that you do not NEED that particular car. Once you drive long distances to drive a car you are already semi- commited to the deal in your mind, with the time and money i...

Well managed to find someone who would overnight an ACT Clutch to the transmission place. Hopefully this one lasts for longer than a year!For anyone who is interested heres the deal: $419 for the clutch/shipping $650 for labour and resurface at aamco transmissions.Amost as much as the bloody car is ...

gottabstick

this would be the one right?http://www.gripmotorsports.com....html

gottabstick

I was thinking the same thing .. Though we do need to get the car fixed this week and no-one has one in stock, it'd have to be ordered in

Well clutch went on my wife again while I was out of town. Only 18000 miles on this one- the f1 stage 2 clutch. Anways we dont know of any reputable repair shops in our area so just googled local repair shops. 1st was an independent mechanic, elderly gentleman in a 'autoclinic' shop. $850 for OEM NA...

gottabstick

I think we'll have ours until its dying day. At least thats the plan anyways. We kind of have to really since I replaced the bent up hood with an SLP one and sold the OEM rims. I think its trade in value would be pretty low without being able to return it to stock. As for trying to sell it..... forg...

gottabstick

Personally, I dont think it looks too bad as is. Maybe a little extra tint would look nicer, just to take the edge off . Only if there would be no repercussions from the police, of course. Back in Alberta Canada, there are VERY few cars with tinted fronts. My first car was bought in the US , then I ...

gottabstick

Nice find, looks like aftermarket tailpipe and hitch too.

gottabstick

right on, you'll have to post some pics of the results. I dont know when I'll have the time to get mine done

gottabstick

Yes you described it perfectly. My wife just reminded me that the same noise was intermidently present before the clutch changeout. Maybe it is the flywheel , I dont think they did anything with that when they worked on the clutch.ThanksGuys

gottabstick

On a more serious note, how did your drum and caliper cleanup go??

gottabstick

Looks nice. I was looking at similar rims to those too. Ever thought of lifting it tho

Hi,I have an 03 GT with F1 racing stage 2 kit installed 20k miles ago. Over the weekend I noticed a noise whilst driving on the interstate. It sounded like the clutch grinding at cruise i.e. when my foot was off the accelerator. The noise was barely audible below 60mph but was quite irritating at 65...

Thanks for the comments guys. I agree 100% on the lowering idea. I think I may have some bigger fish to fry that will definately eat up any extra cash I have lying around. The dreaded grinding from the clutch sound made an appearance on the interstate today. I think it may be the flywheel or a beari...

Thanks to Vforvibe, I finally got my set of konig troubles together. They're sitting on a new set of yokohama YK520's now and the ride is phenomenal. The guy at discount tire said "watch out because if you're used to 16's these 18's will feel awful rough". He couldn't be more wrong. Maybe ...

Beautiful, you're the best! .....I'll be in touch

Hi,Ive finally found the spare rim I need for my set . Problem is , it's in Tampa (riverview) and I'm in Oklahoma. I've emailed the person who is selling but have yet to get a response. I'm just a little worried that they wont be interested in shipping it , so was hoping someone in the area could pi...

gottabstick

Has anyone tried these tires ? Thanksfor any input.

gottabstick

actually they're only 192 each. The deal I saw from tirerack would cost 1200 including rubber and shipping. I'm very ,very tempted

gottabstick

How nice would these look on white, satellite or abyss. I'm soo tempted to buy these but I'm having a hard time justifying the $1200 that could so be used elsewhere right now. I guess for now I'll just sit back and dream

gottabstick

Thanks all. Yeah I have to say this looks so natural on the 03 GT shouldve came out like this stock. I like how theyre so subtle and stylish, some of the other scoops are too in your face for my liking. They've done a great job with making the scoops fit in with the existing curves of the car, it ki...

Got backed into by a very large truck in walmarts parking lot. Luckily they had a trailer hitch and the damage was very localised. I thought since I was replacing the hood I'd go with a bit of an upgrade. I've got to say I love the look of the hood, its not too over the top. I have to give a shout o...

Sorry I should've noted that we are in Canada at the moment. Man I wish I was at home right now- I get the feeling like these guys are trying to pull a fast one on my wife. Worst thing is that I have no cell service through the day, so it's not like I can talk to them when she goes to pick up. I hav...

Hey all,I recently had my wife take in our 2003 GT for a much needed clutch replacement. I work out of town so I couldn't be around to deal with the technicians. Anyways I called in for a quote last week, gave them the specs '03 6 speed vibe GT and I have my own clutch to be installed. These guys di...

gottabstick

thanks for the responses.So should I be really worried now and take her in for a new clutch or is it something that can be fixed by itself?

Hi all,I recently bought an 03 GT with 55k miles and as far as we can tell original clutch. I test drove the snot out of the car and had zero issues with clutch slippage etc so I went ahead and bought it.

Well hello there . I wrote a while ago with newbie questions about an 03GT I was interested in buying. Well to cut a long story short I did eventually buy the car(after 4 hours in the dealership test driving and bartering a price). So now after 8 weeks of ownership , 7,500 miles clocked up and an Ok...

gottabstick

Thanks for looking and the sound advice. It is definately close to the right price for me, and I'll be saving huge money over the summer if I get close to the posted mileage. With my wife driving over 600 miles a week for school at the moment I can hear my wallet sighing with relief already. Having ...

gottabstick

Is there any other kind of gas ?? J/KI was aware of the need for premium thanks- the S60R was the same. Although I loved that car to pieces I certainly wont miss the $75 dollars to fill her up and drive 270 miles before needing more gas.

gottabstick

Yes looks like an aftermarket clutch would certainly be the way to go. Just heard back from the dealer and it is the original clutch @ 55k.Could mean that either: a) original driver(s) drove her softly and I may still have tonnes of life left in it or,b) the clutch was on the way out, hence the sale...

gottabstick

Thanks for the prompt response guys. I checked the carfax and nothing stood out other than it initially being a private lease for the first 16k (another definate reason to check the clutch I guess).55k seems pretty early for clutch problems (although I guess driving style is the main contributing fa...

Hello all. I'm new here on the forum and will hopefully be a new 03GT owner in a couple of days. I will be flying to look at the car soon and hope to drive it home with me on the same day. It looks like a good deal - one owner and only 55k on the clock. What kind of problem areas should I be looking...
