Ok so im a noob at drifting, even racing. So im driving around i come out of first decide to clutch kick and first gear pops out right before, which was weird. So i slow down to put it in second gear or something and none of the gears go in, so i turn off the car put it in first somehow and start it, then it goes. Started running back to normal again except, now when i come out of first really slow(hence let go of clutch lsowly) the car shakes like crazy, and the exhuast hits the bottom of the car and the rear end feels like its gonna fall out. Feels like if it were a wet dog getting the water off. It doesnt in reverse too. But thats it, only when im coming out from a stop really slow other than that it runs fine. Could it be the clutch or something else. Im gonna put a stage 3 clutch from like ebay( probably the same as a good clutch from advanced) so if its the clutch ill be fixing it soon. But could it possible be something else?
 
Ebay clutches and Advance clutches are basically after market replacements of stock equipment. Most of which are no good for racing or drifting. I would suggest you get a good clutch and put it in there before you end up dropping your trans for no reason. There are some clutches you can get and have no problems with, but I don't want to drop the trans or pay for the work if it could have been avoided.

Check your Transmisison mounts, U-joints, and differential mounts for your vibration.
Most likely its you diff mount gone bad.
 
No cuz i plan to do a sr20 swap soon. Im not gonna do MUCH drifting cuz its my daily, so i just want a decent clutch until i do the swap. So far i found a stage 3 clutch on ebay for like $180 so i dunno. Ima see if i check all the joints this week.
 
If your doing a swap soon dont waste your money on a clutch, ride it until it blows. if it blows by the cheapest clucth from a local autoparts store or from someone here, most likily it will get you from A-B till your ready for the swap.
 
ebay clutchs arnt too bad. i have a exedy oem replacment that i got off ebay for 100 and it works good now that ive broken it in i slide with it and it still locks good.
 
your carzy i wont run a unsprung clutch they break shit LMAO they hold like a mofo but get ready to replace some parts
 
Ima do a swap but not until like 5 months and thats depending if i get this job im trying to get. And i was thinking putting a stage 3 XTD in the SR when i swap it.
 
Nope cuz it would of done it before and it does it when my rpms are above 1k, im not dum lol. Oh and today i started it and it was like misfiring, sounded like a rotary engine, yet had no power whatsoever, yet still got me home. I turned it off start it an hour later, it was gone. SUPER WEIRD!
 
check your ignition cables, my car did the same thing and it was because i forgot to zip tie them down and my turbo melted the insulation and it was sparking off my valve cover.
 
I did seems to be sparking fine. It hasnt done it to me anymore. Just when i have it off for a long time it does it at idle but i rev it a little then it goes away. My brother told me it might be a dirty o2 sensor or something.
