I recently changed my clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and tob in my evo ix. I have noticed there seems to be a slight rattle when driving or when starting from a stop when rpms may go low ( still getting used to clutch ). Is this a common problem? Anything I can do to fix?

 

Extremely common, which is why I purchase a Mitsubishi OEM TOB when doing a clutch such as an Act. Has something to do with the bearings ACT uses. As far as it being an issue, the only issue you will have is that noise, for the life of the clutch. When at a stop next time just push the clutch in the noise goes away. Don’t do this all the time, just to see if the noise goes away, if it does it is the TOB.

 

ACT does not use the same TOB they used to. I believe they are the same as OEM now.

 

I've gone through 3 ACT HDSS so far with mixes of OEM and ACT provided TOB. It's going to clunk regardless

 

my wrx did this same thing with an act.....my evo however didnt rattle

 

Mine does the same thing at idle in neutral with the clutch out....goes away when I push in the clutch....typical noise with the ACT supplied TOB....someone told me AFTER the install to use an OEM tob...oh well....

 

Always use oem throw out bearings

 

I had this rattle when I bought my car. Depress the clutch, noise goes away. Prev owner used the act tob.

Input shaft bearings also make this similar rattle when they go bad too.

With the next clutch install I used the OEM tob and for about 200 miles it was quiet then the rattle reappeared.

 

Mine is awful sounds like its broken. I also have a LWFW. So only compounds the sound. Pretty normal i guess.

 

Yup :/ Stage 2 TRE rebuild here I come!

 

I have a oem clutch with 77,xxx and I get the same sound,so is it time to replace everything? Only mods I have are a works tbe I plan on adding licp, intake,cams and a reflash trying to make over 300whp so what type of clutch should I go with? thanks.

 

I went with the act hdss it will hold 450 ft lbs torque. As for the tob problem.. idk but I was able to get everything for 1k so if you want that website let me know

Everything: (pressure plate, flywheel, clutch, tob)

 

Mine does the exact same thing and my dumbass used the ACT TOB. After hearing it for a while you wont even notice its there,unless someone in the car with you mentions it lol
