Bad Noises

[SLW42]

hello ladies and gents i need a little confirmation on a clutch related subject,

 

I know that when you put your foot on the clutch and it makes a scratchy grindy noise it's usually f@$ked right?

 

My question is when you put your foot on the clutch and it picks up and engages fine but occasionally makes a grinding noise, best off to replace or just adjust more????

 

Before you guys ask the throw out bearing is rooted too :bash: i tend to think i got a little ripped but these things happen,

Sounds like a throwout bearing. Only part that really only comes into play (and hence shows its condition) when the clutch pedal is depressed.

 

Best off replacing the lot. Gives you a good excuse to get a HD or puk clutch :P

yeah nah it's more than the throwout bearing man, you know what a rooted throw out bearing sounds like it grinds all the time right??, this noise is a every now again it happens about 10 times a minute at idle, with the clutch depressed and it's a solid grinding/scratching noise

 

Mmmmmmm cushoined button clutch on a k motor :yes:

Go for an unsprung brass button behind a stock 4k. Would be.......interesting.

 

Either the friction or pressure plate could be buggered :hmm:

 

Replace the lot. Just have a real good inspection of the flywheel too, depending on whats actually causing the problems.

cushioned button ftw man still can drive them like a normal clutch and i personally can't see the point of a brass button of even a un sprung brassy :yes:

 

4k what is this 4k you speak of 5k ftw :D

Agree, deffinately worth having the cushioning. Exedy don't make and un-cushioned button for K anymore anyway.

unless my k motor was a god built motor and had like 350hp i will always use a cushioned button, cause my ef had a cushioned button clutch in it, that used to cop 3rd gear clutch kicks and never hassled it, i just can't justify having a brassy in a car that will only end up having boost and a nice cam, it's just silly lol :P :D
