intern8tion9l Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 ok so this problem started last june, and today i finally got the tranny out to take a look. not that the car has driven much in the meantime. i'll do my best to describe this, but it'll prob be kind of tough. i am getting a nasty chattering sound from what i think is the clutch, because it is really loud when engaging the clutch, and then stays constant as i am driving. its strange though because it only happens when the car gets warmed up; and the hotter the car gets, the louder the sound is. its like a ticking sound, and whatever is hitting does so in a group of 3. tick-tick-tick. damn this is hard to explain...wtf. anyways, looking at the pressure plate you can see 3 obvious spots of more wear, which i think line up with similar marks on the flywheel. i just don't know what the hell is wrong. feel free to ask questions, because i know this is the worst description ever. i'm hoping some people on here are a little more familiar with clutch issues parts i changed: new oem flywheel, centerforce dual friction clutch, muncie throwout bearing. i've only put 4000 miles on this stuff, with about 6-700 break in period. i think people have complained a bit about the centerforce...which i read about after the install of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turby Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Looks like something may be warped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 All the heat spots on the flywheel and those wear spots on the clutch are more than likely from it slipping. That noise can be a result of that. BTW, when you come up here next time, bring the flywheel with you and Ill have it re-surfaced for you. No way you can run it like it is.

intern8tion9l Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 no, this just started one night after about an hour worth of highway driving, all out of nowhere. i spend all this money on parts to not have a problem and here i am. i mean 4000 miles? thats bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I think you might have gotten the 5 'oclock special on that clutch.... but either way I think you should upgrade to that spec stage 3 clutch. Much better clutch for the same amount of money you paid for that thing. How much was it slipping though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern8tion9l Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 not a noticable performance effect, although i'm sure there was some. just that awful sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
