Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit First off I searched the back issues, I found several people including James himself who had a problem similar to this but I couldn't find any posts on any solutions. I have a really annoying brake noise problem. During slow braking or when the brake pedal is partially applied (moving about 1 or 2 mph) the brakes will squeel unbeleivably, the slower I apply the break pedal the more noise it will make. Once it starts making the nosie if you slam down the brakes the noise goes away instantly. This only takes place in the front end, the back end makes no noise. This tends to happen after the car has been running for about 5 or 6 minutes. I had a my friend's father, a mechanic took a look at it for me and removed the pads and sanded them a bit. This made the noise go away for about 3 days but now it's back. This is starting to become embarrasing and I am at the end of my rope with this problem. Now the car is attracting attention for all the wrong reasons. I was in a trendy part of town the other night in heavy traffic and looking for a parking space when all of the sudden the brakes start making the noise. Everybody started looking my way, I started changing color right there as people covered their ears. Needless to say that this problem has outlived my liking and I need it gone quickly. This is also no longer a cost issue for me.

You can use an organic pad (if a compatable part is made), but they only last a few thousand miles .. There are some anti-squeel sprays that claim to help, although I doubt it.... The problem, as far as I understand it is, the breaks get very hot and causes the surface of the pad to melt slightly.... giving it a "skin" of sorts that is noisey. You may want to get your brake rotors turned, and/or try a different type of pad.. Maybe just cheap pads do this?? Keep this thread going, I'd like to hear some input on this one myself.. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 667 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=667 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 14:46:41 -0000 From: t.mickel@worldnet.att.net Subject: [DML] Luggage Compartment Cable Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is day 10 as a Delorean owner.

This made the noise go away for about 3 days but now it's >back. In my experience as a former GM maechanic, I found that the most commom cause of brake noise is glazed rotors and brake pads. This is consistent with your symptoms. Sanding the pads helps, but they are quickly glazed again because the rotors are glazed as well. You will have to remove the rotors and have them turned at a machine shop or auto parts store that has a brake lathe. (about $10 each) They will check the thickness for you and let you know if you need to buy new ones or if yours can be turned. I don't know the specs for the rotors on the D. You may want to find this out for the shop before you go since it is likely that the D won't be listed in the book. Maybe DMC Joe can give you the numbers. (turn to, discard at, minimun thickness, etc.) All four can generally be turned, but rear rotors always seem to be a problem for some reason. Hope this Helps!

If you do this make sure you get the bolt back on TIGHT, it holds the spindle axle on the car. Second best is to disconnect the speedo cable and then you can rotate the drive to a better position to work on. The factory spec lube is 90wt gear oil, but it is usually considered better to use a heavy moly (wheel bearing etc.) lube. Delorean Motor Center (Steger) sells a neat little grease gun for about $20 that will fit the hole on the drive without taking it off the car. This gun will only work with the heavier lube. <5cb9d4c4.2479ce8-@aol.com> wrote: Original Article: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews/?start=658 > Can somebody tell me how to lubricate the right angle unit?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit TO ALL, Why and how do your brakes squeal? Rub your finger in a circular motion around the top of a drinking glass, you should be able to hear a squealing noise. A different size glass or glass thickness, the amount of oil on your finger, water hardness, even room humidity will effect the pitch. The physical properties regarding brake squeal are the same. Over the years we have heard and seen many solutions to this problem. New anti squeal shims, turning rotors, changing pads, metalized vs.non metalized pads, anti squeal sprays and goos, even cutting slits in the pads. Amazingly all of these items will work, the problem is you don't know which one will until you try it. Here is what we do. If the pads are worn, we just change them out. We have found that the pads from the DeLorean parts suppliers are less likely to squeal than from the local auto stores. We have also found that Permatex Disc Brake Quiet really works.

The factory installed release cable on my D (# 5830) is multi-strand, but that may not be the case for all D's. It is a very simple process to install an emergency backup release cable. All you need to do is get a piece of multi-strand cable approximatelt 24" long. Loop one end around the release arm (where the regular cable is connected; take the other end and loop it around one of the bolts next to the gas filler cap (I suggest the one closest to the windshield). Both of these ends should should have a crimped connector to keep the loops intact. If your regular cable ever fails, simply reach your right hand under the trailing edge of the hood just inboard of the gas cap; grab the cable with all four fingers and pull it sharply toward the left side of the car, while lifting the hood with your left hand. I have had this on my D for many years and it works great. As a matter of fact, I rarely use the inside release, as my backup cable is more conveient to use. As for trunk security, the cable is out of sight and you would have to know how to use it. As for the recommended length of the cable, play with that a little bit until you find one that works for you.

The DeLorean tranny has the final drive gear flipped over onto the other side so the output rotates backwards; internally it all works the same, save that one gear.

[SNIP] Please let me know if > the clutch can be replaced by a transmission repair > shop or does it require special tools or parts. If you still have the original polymer clutch hydraulic line it is possible that the clutch is worn out. As the material in the line fatigues (from use and heat from the nearby coolant lines) it can prevent the clutch from disengaging properly and wear it out prematurely. Assuming you need parts, it is probably a good idea to acquire them from a DeLorean parts supplier. As far as selecting a mechanic goes, I don't think the DeLorean clutch is very different from other clutches. If you have an honest mechanic that you trust just ask him if he can do the job. Otherwise . . . I would be wary about taking my DeLorean to a stranger. While you are at it, I suggest you replace the polymer clutch hydraulic line with a stainless steel one (if this hasn't been done already). It will make a big difference in drivability and clutch longevity. As for checking prices, DMC Houston publishes a price list at their website which you can use for comparison shopping. Prices from the traditional parts houses are not that different from your local auto parts store, and the support is worth having. - Mike Substelny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 714 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=714 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 17:56:00 -0000 From: dswingle@enteract.com In-Reply-To: <7ieies$6dud@eGroups.com> Subject: [DML] Re: Clutch Replacement Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Answers inserted into your note following ###: > I purchased my 1981 Delorean in 1989 . . . >The Delorean is starting to leak oil and black fluid (transmission fluid?). ###Can be engine oil, trans oil or clutch fluid - have you checked the clutch reservoir? >The clutch is starting to chatter and I just noticed last week that the tach RPMs will increase(on the freeway) without any increase in speed. ###Sounds like a clutch, but whether its worn or oily the answer is the same. >I can't believe that I need a new clutch but all the symtoms are there.

The second time may be the additive you put into the tank has somehow separated and was drawn into the fuel system or it could have been some residual oil pooled somewhere in the intake that was dumped out when you took the car for a spin. Check you oil often for level and color. You shouldn't be gaining oil and it should not turn chocolate brown and frothy. You should also check your coolant for evidence of oil. You could also take the car in and have a leakdown test to determine if you have problems with the rings or valves.

They were offered through the old DeLorean Club of America. Mine is still in good shape and has DMC embossed on the Front. If there was enough interest perhaps we could offer mine as a pattern and have some made. Anyone know of a supplier that would do a small run of bras for a reasonable price?

Apparently this seal failed prematurely. This has caused oil to leak on to your clutch components causing clutch chatter and slippage. This is also the cause of your oil leak. There is nothing special about the DeLorean clutch therefore no special tools are required. The transmission is built by Renault and is exclusive to the DeLorean. The service procedure could be performed by a transmission shop but you would be better off finding a shop that specializes in premium European automobiles like Porshe, BMW, Volvo, etc. Discuss the procedure with them and see what they say. Be sure they have access to the workshop manual. A reasonable price for the clutch job and seal replacement w/o parts should be $650-$950. If you need additional information you can e-mail me directly.

The clutch is starting to chatter and I just noticed last week that the tach RPMs will increase(on the freeway) without any increase in speed.

Keep in mind that the DeLorean is actually a front wheel drive car with the body placed backwards. The drive wheels actually run backwards from a normal set up. Finding a physical match between a trans of another vehicle is tough enough much less finding one that runs backwards.

At that time I asked many DeLorean distributors, suppliers, club and members but to no avail. I do remember your car with the bra in Cincinnati. I do believe if my memory serves me right, your car was the ONLY car that had a bra at the meet. Your DeLorean with the bra, it looks good! That is why I remember your DeLorean. I do believe what you are telling me is real for you do have the "experience" to justify your statement. On the other hand, one person who is well known and he owns a famous DeLorean service depot (I will not use his name at this time and you also know him too.) He told me that a bra will "mar" and leave an imprint on the surface of the stainless steel finish. I would and could not hesitate in disagreeing with his suggestion in avoiding using the bra, for he is very well respected as a technician and a mechanic within the DeLorean marque. He has much experience in this area. He told me that in the past, he had to refinish the surfaces of DeLoreans that used the bra. I also agree with him for I know of other who use bra on non-DeLorean cars and there is etching, chaffing, marring and discoloration! Since there are no surface damages to your car, there can be only several reasons. One, possibly that your bra is that well made and padded and with the proper ties to hold it down to prevent the effects? Two, that your usage of your car is with the bra is on the minimum and not used daily in the rain, snow and sunshine which will produce the damages to the surface of the stainless steel? Why the failure with the other cars? Maybe these owners mounted the bra incorrectly? Possible they never taken the bra off occasionally to clean out debris between the car's surface and the bra that can cause the chaffing and marring effect? Anyway, despite all the problems, I still want the bra like many other owners. Many other owners and myself would like to have a bra for their DeLorean. If you still would be kind enough to allow the use of your bra as a pattern and if the cost is not astronomical. We as a group, with a good size order, we may be able to perk some interest in a company that manufactures bras to make them for us. I do drive my car daily. An average of 70 miles daily on the minimum -- ALL year round -- snow, rain and sunshine. I have collected many "dings" from this daily usage. If the bra do damage the surface with chafing marks I can refinish the surface of the stainless steel surface to the proper factory finish. I would preferred the chaffing marks over the rocks and other objects that cause "dings" on the surface that are more difficult to remove. So -- ANY DMLers OUT THERE INTERESTED IN A BRA? Maybe we can get together to make this item a reality for us?

We learned from other people who had bad bra experiences what the problem is and how to avoid it. During regular use, the trailing edge of the bra will collect dirt, dust, and grit from the road. Even the tightest bra vibrates a little as you drive (some flap up and down violently) and the vibration causes this grit to abrade the surface of your car. Over time it will cut a horizontal line across paint or even stainless steel. Thus, if you allow this grit to build up, the bra will do more harm than good for your car's finish. The secret is to keep both the car and bra clean. As long as you regularly wipe away the grit along the edge of your bra it will not be a problem, and your bra will perform its function well. Bruce says he has been satisfied with his bra, so I will bet he keeps his car clean. How about it Bruce, am I right? - Mike Substelny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 741 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=741 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: Gussob@aol.com Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 01:22:33 EDT MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Different kind of brake noise Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Try turning and surfacing the rotors.

First, they wouldn't even close half-way, and after readjusting them a bit, the doors would close fully, but only after applying massive amounts of force. I let them sit for awhile, hoping that they just needed to settle in, but that didn't work. I called Gradys, and they said that they have a procedure for grinding down the edge that the seal mounts onto, but I would have to talk to Rob about it. I've called back a few times but Rob has been to busy to explain the procedure. So... could anybody else shed a little insight into this procedure? Or are there any other hints for getting this to work?
