For me, no clutch underwater ang policy ko (unless kelangang huminto, quick step lang ginagawa ko then slam into neutral).

Although unnerving at first, a well-maintained engine will actually idle underwater.

I think we're talking about knee-deep floods on ordinary streets with ordinary cars. Not 4X4 off-roading. The rationale behind riding the cluth and overrevving while traversing a flooded area is to keep the exhaust velocity enough to prevent water from stalling the engine by going in the exhaust. How can you do this on a normal car if you're in idle? Maintenance of the engine has nothing to do with it. The point is to prevent water from getting in the exhaust. Another thing to consider is that catalytic converters in the exhaust works at high temperatures. Getting it submerged in water can crack it. It's very expensive to replace.

magkano yung palinis ng flooring?

Meron kasi drain hole sa lahat ng flooring. Malamang yung rear passenger sides malutong na ang goma. Dito pumapasok ang tubig baha lalo na kung malalim ang tubig. It should be water proofed, pero kung medyo matagal na ang sasakyan lumulutong ang seal at pumapasok ang hindi dapat.

Kung gusto mo, pa-complete interior detailing mo na lang yan para mas makatipid ka. Tatanggalin lahat ng carpet, upuan, interior mo lilinis pa. :D Huhugasan nila angbuong carpet and shampoo pati upuan.

irmscher,

i have tried crossing an almost kneee deep or let's say 3/4 of a tire with a Civic EK w/o over-revving the engine. I just shift to first gear, run a "slowly but surely" speed to make a "water bow" then viola nakatawid naman.

or tsamba lang?

That's what most people believe in. Over-revving your engine will prevent water penetrating your exhaust manifold. BUT a driver doesn't have to over-rev his/her engine. The common well-maintained car with 800-1000 rpm can AND will prevent water sipping into the catalytic converter, besides it is mounted right after the headers. The muffler part will have to be over-filled with water before it can cause further damage. And yes, you can let a vehicle idle without over-revving the engine.

Actually, it is the driver's choice whether you want your flywheel cracked while engaging your clutch in a subrmerged clutch/tranny assembly or much more cheaper option of changing a water-filled muffler.

magkano complete detail? yung sa loob lang? san?

CoolGal::: Try contacting theveed or BlackMagic, about their detailing shop along Araneta Ave. near SM Sta. Mesa. Di ko po kabisado ang price nila. :wink: Inquire about their complete interior detailing service.

Ungas,

E di tama pala yung nagawa ko. Yan din kasi yung iniisip ko kasi baka pasukin ng tubig yung clutch.

FrankDrebin::: Yes, I have seen the negative side of clutch driving on flooded roads. And it did cost me an arm for that darn clutch assembly including the flywheel. :?
