need advice from the clutch gods
I recently replaced my clutch and exactly what happened to this guy is going on with my car. I never saw that he came up with the cause of the noise. any help or advice would be faaaaaaantastic
"hi all, i'm running a quartermaster twin disc clutch. here's what happened - took an exit, downshifted into second, and i noticed a screeching noise when the clutch was pushed in. as i downshifted into first coming to a stop with the clutch pushed in, the noise was unbearable. it's a super loud screeching noise, kind of like scratching something sharp on a chalkboard, except magnify that by let's say, a hundred times. i drove around some more up to about 60mph shifting through the gears, and the screech was there every time i shifted gears. i know twin disc's make some chatter with the clutch disengaged, but this definitely did not sound normal. the weird part about it is that the noise only now happens when i start the car, and randomly as i have the clutch pedal pushed in going at parking lot speeds. the screech noise is there for aboutsecond while the car turns over and then disappears when i let go of the pedal. while accelerating and shifting through the gears, i no longer hear any screeching. it is not difficult to shift into and out of gears either."
