Hey guys I just got a Shep tranny stage 2 rebuild a few months back with a stage 1 exedy clutch kit. Had problems putting the car into gear but not myself or anyone I took the car too could find the problem, reputable people I might add. Well after 1000 mile that clutch literally exploded and shattered. When we first checked the car it would make like a rubbing sound when the clutch pedal was not pressed down assuming it was cuz of the exploded clutch. Well $1400 later I bought a "custom" clutchmasters stage 4 clutch and flywheel kit. Car shifts perfect and clutch feels awesome but that stupid noise is still there, again, only when the clutch pedal is not pushed down so whether the car is in gear and moving the noise is there but instantly stood once I push in the clutch pedal.anyways I have read a lot about weird noises and I should be worried or not worry at all and I just don't know what to do or what it could be. The only thing I can think of is clutch disc and pressure plate rubbing or something like that cuz the sound stops once the clutch pedal is pressed in like I already said. Any suggestions help!!! Thanks

 

Could be clutch chatter? Mine makes the same sound with my exedy clutch. I haven't had any problems yet so im under the assumption its chatter from being an aftermarket clutch.

 

Thanks man it makes me feel better knowing im not the only one. Im o e if those people who worries about small noises and stuff that I dont what it is. Im still gonna have our local Evo guru check it out and hope its nothing major but seriously dude I feel a lot better from your post awdordie!

 

Sounds like a bad tob...throw out bearing...did you change it when you put in the new clutch?

 

Ya man the kit actually did com with a TOB. Maybe I shoulda gone oem or just got a POS this time =\ but if that's the prob I would feel a whole lot better.

 

its probably clutch chatter mine does it also. i have 265 miles on my shep trans and act clutch they are gonna meake noise!

 

Really? Wow that's crazy! Can other people who look at this post if there clutch/tranny make noise also? Let know if you have a Shep tranny build or any tranny build as well as aftermarket clutch. Please and thanks

 

i have a built trans and no chatter that i can hear from my ACT

 

Got buschur trans with exedy triple disc and when i push clutch in it makes A LOT of noise but i was told that normal with the new triple discs once i let off noise is gone

 

I think its normal, since mine does the same like everyone else that has chatter. Wouldn't hurt to get it checked out by your guy though. I'm curious.

 

ya talk to the shop that put it in, they said it was normal

MRP FTW

 

take a video?!

 

Hey guys havent been on in a while to re post but I called Shep and got the guy who put it in to check. Shep said it was normal with staged clutches and built trannies. I was there when the guy checked it and basically its the part of the pressure plate closest to the bell housing is rubbing the bells housing which causes the the noise and and minor vibrations so long story short its normal because of how heavy duty staged clutches are. I can say its fine cuz I raced a tt supra and it helded fine plus today just took it to get re tuned today with a new setup!

 

Oh I tried to get a video but all you can hear is exhaust and sorry for all the misspellings and repetitions but its cuz I gotta use me phone for these messages

 

oh lol i figured. and damn exhaust! but if it shifts fine at wot and normal i wouldnt worry but if you get alot of grinds i would then. GL
