Recently i have been having a problem with my clutch i believe. First, i am getting a rattling/vibrating noise that i can feel in my shift knob that was never there before. Had this clutch for 15k miles now. Second, when i engage the clutch, it makes way more noise than it used to, like a box of thumb tacs were thrown into the tranny or something. When i am in first, and i am going maybe 10mph, and take it out of gear to slow down, sometimes it is delayed, as if the clutch plates are still grabbing even though the clutch pedal is all the way in. The clutch isnt slipping at all when under load, and i dont hear the noises when in boost. Is my clutch falling apart? Or could this be a tranny, gear box or diff problem?

 

no one? im thinking this is two isolated problems. the vibrating one kinda sounds like an empty coke can with quarters vibrating inside it. Happens only on accel. Maybe LSD?

 

I assume throw out bearing, but I'm just taking a guess

 

perhaps. it is only rattling in first.

 

Sounds like the same issue I was having. It eventually got worse to the point where I thought it would be a good idea to pull the trans. I have an exedy twin though, and my trans will be arriving at shep racing today, so i'll let you know.

 

update rawburt?

 

Well my trans was pretty bad. I don't have an accurate report of all the damages, but basically the input shaft caused the damage. It was a very expensive rebuild. I'd figure out what it is before you keep driving it, that was my mistake
