Do you feel anything in the pedal, or do you just hear it?

I recently had a new heavy duty clutch put into my car, and when I let me foot off the clutch quickly (in reverse) I hear a clang kind of sound.

I took it to a gearbox place and the guy told me nothing to really worry about - just notice more sound because of the new clutch. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or knows what causes it... and if I should be worried.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I also had clicking when I pushed the clutch in and let it out.

I later found to my dismay that the clicking was caused by the metal bracket holding the clutch pedal to the underside of the dash, literally breaking apart.

My clutch is pretty ****ing heavy though, so it just ripped it apart :P

i get those noisy sounds from clutch when the gear is in reverse... its not the usual winding sound when reversing a manual car... :P

i recently got a heavy duty clutch put in... its a single plate heavy duty with 30% more clamping force than the stock one... well, thats what i was told from my mechanic.. (i was overseas)

but for some reason , the clutch feels even lighter than the stock one i had before... should i just skip this single plate bullsh1t and move on to twin-plate?? the only reason i got a single this time was because my mechanic reckons a single-plate is enough for my car (R33 GTR 190kw@4wheel) and also told me that twin plate wouldn't last as long as a single-plate...

    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
