Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok, Driving to the track my clutch starts to fail. The pedal now engages near the bottom instead of the top like it used to and is slipping a bit.
Had a highly respected mechanic take a look and drive the car and he agreed that the clutch needs to be replaced.
Ok, need a new clutch and no tracing this weekend, bummer
So drive I drive home and it throws a CEL, P0430. Since I had my OBD II dongle plugged in, cleared the code. A couple of hours later, back it comes.
Now I have to figure out where I put the can of glue......
Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Stuff happens
At least my son got an E ticket ride with Dwain for a session.
I guess I will have to fly him into Ontario from college in September for the POC PDS in Fontana

Right you are JFP. That was a hip shot from memory and I didn't look it up. My bad.
P0445 was resolved with a fresh gas cap but a periodic P0430 is indeed a poor functioning cat. I managed to clear it out some with a bottle of techron and a spirited drive so it would still pass smog but the code reappeared 6 months later. The long term fix is to replace the failed cat.
Well, the flywheel was toast and the clutch was almost gone.
Now with a new flywheel and clutch, the car shifts like it is brand spanking new!
Now the bad news...
My bank 2 2nd cat is toast. Stuff falls out of it.
Fortunately I have a great indy mechanic that does not charge me an arm and 2 legs for his labor.
The clutch, and flywheel and his labor was $950!. Now I did buy the flywheel a few months back on ebay for $125, it was basically brand new (had 6 miles on it) and got the clutch kit for $325. $500 for labor, I think I got a deal :dance:
