Yo, i have a cushioned button clutch i got about 1000 km's ago, it's quiet when i'm not moving but under load like driving slowly in 1st gear it hisses reasonably loudly.. is the "cushion" an air cushion or something? i dunno if that makes much sense.. or can sum1 elaborate a bit on what a cushioned button clutch is?

It is pretty heavy but it isn't straight on and off and u can ease it on pretty easily

I've been looking around and really have no idea what it could be, the list of problems it could be include:

- Could just be that it is a hydraulic clutch noise

- Possible issues with the slave cylinder

- bad clutch release bearing or clutch fork problem

- IF the vehicle used a clutch vacuum assist, the booster being bad.

- a main input shaft bearing, mainshaft bearings

anyone got any suggestion on which is most likely on a gtr with a cushioned button clutch with 2000km's on it, no launches? i only really notice the noise a little bit on idle, more when i'm parking and need to ride the clutch a lil to get into my spot.. or is it normal?

Just noticed that the clutch fork boot (which had been split but was still holding up alright) has been completely removed when it was getting the rebuild.. i was reading earlier about some high frequency vibration noise in that area, and i have a replacement boot, will try to fix it tonight provided i can figure out how to get the fork off so i can slip the boot on

my cushion clutch hisses only durring riding of the clutch but goes a way once engaged. there may still be a hissing but my solid short shifter transfers noise incabin thats louder. I do know that with a lightened flywheel combo the gearbox makes a "gara,gara" rattling sound on low revs in first.

ahh it does? ok i was hoping someone would say that, but then after reading about everyone elses hiss (mind you on stock clutches on shiet cars) i started to get paranoid hehe. I was just messing around with it and it's only while riding it hisses, so seems that checks out ok, cheers for that dude

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
