If its not one thing its another. Im so fed up with my clutch situation.

After finally, finding an alignment tool(input shaft), that the Mitsu tech claims, just barely was long enough to align everything properly, they call me up yesterday about 15 minutes before closing to let me know that my car is done and that if I can pick it up that day if I get there before they close. If not, the earliest is next tuesday since they are closed today for the holidays. I wasnt able to make it in time, so here I am wondering how my car is.

The service manager also left another interesting tidbit on my voicemail. He says that there is a rattling noise whenever the clutch is pushed in. I personally have not seen/heard the car yet, but Im just curious if anyone else with this setup has experienced this also.

Please post up comments and thoughts.

Now my whole weekend is ruined.

I have heard every twin-three plate clutch has a rattle noise. If you ever get to hear some of the supra clutches, they make a poop load of noise.

 

Im just hoping that the rattling noise the service manager heard is the same noise you are talking about.

Anyone with the Exedy Twin Plate please post your experience!

I've know many guys with the Exedy in thier cars.. (Mostly supra's), and they do have a rattle.... The rattle is gonna be normal... Not too annoying, but it'll be there...

 

Depending on how loud it is, it could be normal, or it could be a bad TO bearing..only way to know for sure is to hear it, no point in conjecture

 

The rattle noise is normal with any clutch that has 2 or more plates. Seen many people with them and it's always the same. Don't worry about it. If people hear that sound and know what it is they should be afraid.

 

I have the twin ... and the noise is normal ! !

 

Interstingly - it seemed like my noise was worse when i first got it - NOW - either ist gone OR - I don't notice it - BUT when I first got it in it was loud as all heck

Its a great clutch - don't worry

 

ferraro - long time no speak, how is everything?

 

Thanks for the replies guys!.....

Now I can finally look forward to something good with my EVO.

Cusco..twin.....rattle
Previous car OS Giken twin...rattle (but much louder)

 

I get plenty of rattle from the exedy twin plate but it works great. Noise comes from having multiple plates.

 

I just purchased one for myself and there was a note in the box.

Please advise driver of vehicle: Installing a sports/performance clutch to suit the vehicle, Mitsu EVO 8 can transfer harmonic tranmitted noises from the engine to the gearbox. This may also cause gearbox rattle. These transmitted noises will in no way effect the performance if the clutch or vehicle and is accepted in the performance industry where engine/clutch mods have been carried out.

Also got a plastic thingy with slotted teeth I take it this is the clucth alignment tool Ford 03 or somethng was printed on it.

 

Rattle is normal with clutch pedal pushed in. I've got 2000 miles on my Exedy twin so far. I hardly notice the rattling anymore. Engagement off the line can be a little noisy when you slip. It sounds like brakes squeeking. I'm told this is normal due to the material the clutch plates are made out of.

 

yep rattling is normal with the Exedy twin disc.
