Whats wrong with my clutch?
Ok heres the deal,stock clutch, 23k miles.... my clutch has been acting weird for some time, but lately its been getting worse.At idle when the ac was on I would hear a knocking sound( tob I would presume) now its starting to get louder with no a/c. Before if I would downshift without rev-matching I would hear a loud whine and a vibration at the clutch pedal until the revs matched. And little by little as time went you would hear a metal clank once in a while when I shifted( lower gears, at low rpms). And every once in a while it would chatter...but never would slip. Now it chatters like crazy, especially in reverse. You hear metallic clunk everyother time i shift. 1st 2nd ,3rd, and sometimes 4th are real notchy (2nd gear is the worst, sometimes cant grab it at high rpms(locked out, no grind). Whenever I shift at high rpms my car acts as if im still on the throttle and is like delayed which sometimes makes me miss gears( usually only happens from 3rd to 4th gear). I understand my clutch/flywheel are done, but are all my problems contributed to the clutch.wheel( like notchy gears, rev matching problem, etc.)? Thanks in advance.

hi ... i have clutch problems with my evo 7 all the time when its cold
once the engine is warmed up ..
all my hassles go away ...
but it sounds like you really need a engineer .. to have a butchers @ it....
it really should'nt be grinding , or knocking ,
the first thing i would do os change the gearbox oil ...
@ least then your be able to see ...if theres metal in the oil...
but if you have a warrentee get in to the dealer asap...

They won't warranty your clutch but if you have grinding problems in 4th or 5th gear they should warranty it, there is a TSB out on grind gears. If they pull the tranny to fix the grinding gears, they should throw a new clutch in for fairly cheap.
