Whenever the AC is turned on the There is a rattling sound that comes from the engine bay but when the clutch is depressed it stops.
Anyone else having this problem?
Anyone know what it is or have any ideas?
Its driving me insane because I am pretty sure its getting worse

 

sounds like the throwout bearing, what happnes is when the ac is on the engne shakes a little and causes the tb to make noise. are you on stock or upgraded clutch? the reason why it stops when your foot is on the clutch is because it pushes against the clutch and stops moving. what drives me nuts is the car feeling like its going to stall when coming to a stop with the ac on.

 

I think everyone has this problem

 

Yep, mine did it since day 1. I dont think theres anything you can really do about it.

 

damn, its the stock clutch. I was hoping there was something I could do to make this go away because at kind of sounds like something is just vibrating against the firewall

 

i had a clutchmasters 4 puck clutch on my previous car, the evo noises are nothing compare to that one and it would even do it with no air at idle. sounded like rod knock.

 

Yup! Add me to the list!

I believe everyone with a stock clutch at least.

 

Notorious every evo does this

 

No, it's the TOB.

I've still got the noise with me Exedy twin. Learn to love it.

 

Yea when i bought my IX, it did that since day 1 with the stock clutch and then i upgraded to act 6 puck and it got a little worse but just about the same. i just learned to live with it! o well it is still an EVO!!!

 

mine does it also

 

+1.. actually every mitsubishi i've owned does it.. i had a 1990 gsx, and a 2000 GT

 

Yup TOB is the problem. I just had my clutched/flywheel replaced at Gruppe-s and now its gone. I get an instant engagement reponse now when you release the clutch not like the stocker. Gruppe-s did a great job with the intsall and I give them lots of props.

 

I actullay found the solution to this problem...




cat back exhaust

 

OMG... that means ur about to blow a piston!!!!
