new clutch install, wierd sound
I just had a cusco twin-plate installed, and it engages perfectly and feels great, but when I downshift, there's a wierd high-pitched grinding sound. It only happens when I downshift, and only if I downshift when braking.
I thought something might be touching from the engine torque, but couldn't find anything. It doesn't sound like that, anyway...
Anybody know what that could be?

hmm... yeah i get the chattering and rattling, too...
it's not really a grinding, more of like a whine... like a really loud turbo spool? not sure how to describe it...

wierd, i had a cusco twinplate before this one, too, and it didn't make that sound.
it's not a chattering... it's more like a turbo whine... i'll try and post a soundclip later today.

I used to have an Excedy Twin and it made a lot of noise....it's normal. Are you sure it's a grinding noise and not more like a chattering. I mean the whining is normal, as well. I don't know about grinding, tho (now I have a triple carbon and that makes even more noise!)

it only happens when i don't rev match... does that mean there's a problem with the throwout bearing?
Tracy: it's definitely not like the chattering at idle... sounds like something being spun very fast

I have experienced the same thing. From what I have heard from other owners of the twin disc, this is NORMAL.

Mine has done it since day one when I bought the car, I know have over 35k on it with no problems with the clutch. Guys, he's not talking about the twin disc chattering sound. It happens when you downshift say into second and u let the clutch out w/o rev matching, you hear this kinda wrrrr, or metallic whining sound, as the clutch is coming up to speed agains the flywheel, kinda hard to describe. I have a totally stock Evo and mine does it too, but I've had no problems so far. If you're really worried about it, I'd say have it looked at, but I'd lean towards the throwout bearing.
