Whats up yall.

Recently swapped my hdss clutch to a act hdss pressure plate and a ceramic sprung 6 puck.

Im now getting a violent clunk while reversing or taking off from the rear of the car.

Mustache bar and diff bushings are new.

Anyone run into this issue?

 

Probably hearing the diff back lash.

 

Is there anything i can do to elimimate this? Im sure its not very good for what ever it is clunking.

How about driveshaft carrier bushings?

I regret installing this clutch man.

 

If you're hearing the diff making clunking noise, you can send it out for a rebuild What you're hearing is excess play in the carrier, where the spider and side gears are. Mine quit making the clunking noises after TRE went through it.

 

Damn. Thats not good

 

Welcome to ACT 6 puck life. Mine made all sorts of new annoying noises with that damn thing. Never again.

 

I ran act 6-puck for many years with no issue. I did start to generate a rear end clunk so purchased the diff bushings set. After examination, I only used the mustache bar bushings and left the others stock. Resolved the clunking so not specifically related to type of clutch you have. If you have a clunk you need to locate the source of the noise and address it there.

 

I mean ive ran 6 pucks in other makes but never in a awd. Its pretty overkill but sure will hold the power and i love doing digs so i guess itll have to do. I aint buying another clutch and sure not dropping that trans again.

 

All my rear end bushings are new i got the master energy kit.

 

Ok, but if the clunk is coming from the rear then how can it be the clutch? The clutch engagement of the 6-puck might enhance the clunk, but it would not be a clutch issue. Make sure your suspension components are tight (check them all) and I've personally seen the bottom bolt of the strut loose causing a similar noise. Also, could be a worn u-joint in the driveshaft so check that as well.

 

Im not saying its the clutch. It started after clutch install.

 

This spring, working my car, I found the drive shaft rubber lobro boot had turned to powder and the joint was open to the air. Might look there.

 

Mine clunks and whines since installing bushings. I did all but the mustache bar.

Our cars are noisy anyway, so I don't worry about it 'till something breaks

 

My driveshaft has alot of play in the carriers but compared to other evos and its the same. I had to google lobro lol. Mine is torn also and is open to the air i can see into it. Hmmm

 

You can kit the lobro joint, I suggest you do it as soon as possible. Road grime will destroy it. One caveat here, check the u-joints first, they are not serviceable.

Now I'm going to go google lobro joint.
