Wonderful... Coolant probelm

[LJRuddy]

Well, looks like I blew a coolant hose somewhere under the throttle body. No biggie. However, I am almost positive that a fair amount of coolant got into the transmission vent as almost as soon as I saw coolant smoke coming out of the hood, my clutch felt different. It is now super light and it goes from no friction to 100% clamping force with about 1/2 inch of pedal play.... nearly at the top of the pedal sweep.

My question is this... Will this clutch problem go away as the coolant evaporates or is my clutch perminately ******?


To the Nebraska SHO guys... Maybe cruising at 95 mph for 2 hours and 15 minutes followed by about 4 dozen red line shifts during the cruise wasnt such a good idea after all.

same exact thing happened to my SHO.



my clutch felt FEATHER LIGHT. It was kinda nice


slowly over time it got heavier... maybe a few weeks?

I've had the same thing happen. The normal feel comes back within a day or 2 ususally. It will come back faster the more heat you get in the engine bay. I blew a heater line at the track last week. By the end of the day, the clutch was back to normal.

Maybe...

BTW, nice sig quote! There's a lot to be had in those few SHO threads.
