For whatever reason-- as of late downshifting into fourth or third gear by slowly releasing the clutch seems to create chatter or for a more precise sound-- high pitched buzzing. Anyone else seem to have this problem?

As for the background info-- stock car, stock clutch 25k miles-- no abuse. No slippage either.

Thanks for the assist.

 

YES! my car does that going into 2nd... The dealer said I could bring it in and it could be covered under warranty, but i cant do that.... It has done it for the past 20k miles and still does it.... please let me know if you find out what it is...

 

Just read an article in turbo mag and they were talking apout the main reason for any damage to the stock clutch was heat that the stock fly wheel builds up do to the weight of the car, awd, and high rev nature of motor. They pictured clutches that after only 3,000 miles and they looked like Bagdad. They literly were in pieces. I think that most of the clutch problems stem from a mis-design and or poor engineering on these components.

 

it's either your transmission gears grinding or it's your air intake box making that sound.

 

If it does it when your down shifting its prolly you not rev matching the RPMS it will make that noise everytime if you dont rev match. Just give it a little tap tap before you let out the Clutch pedal. you will never hear it again =) promise.
