Clutch

[Turbotonic]

ho do you know if your clutch is dying? because every time i pop the clutch it makes a tack like racket thanks

[89CAL]

well usually you tell the clutch is going cause it will slip lots

for example put your car in 4th when ur doing a low speed so that ur engine is doing pretty low revs and then hold ur foot down, if it accelerates slowly but normally then its probably ok but if ur car revs and you dont really speed up then ur clutch is probbly gone

I dont understand the noise ur describing however

like a ratched as in lots of successive clicks? how quickly do they follow each other?

could be a problem elsewhere or a gearbox or throwout bearing problem

Yep, worn clutch plate will see slipping under load like Boostin said.

If there's an issue with another portion of the clutch system then the symptoms will be different.

A worn pedal box can make a racket, a worn slave cylinder can also make a racket.

Give us a bit more of an idea of what's going on.

well it makes that always just as i take my foot of the clutch, so its louder racket when i take my foot off the clutch normally during reversing

any ideas would be appreciated thanks all

That's an interesting one.

Would need to hear the sound but for the sake of it inspect the pedal box (the assemnbly that the pedal is connected to) and check the slave cylinder for leaks.

What 'kind' of sound is it? A squeek? A rattle? a loud bang? a deeper thud?

If you can't pinpoint it at the pedal box or the slave cylinder then you'll probably have to get it inspected at the very least.

i took my car to the mechanic today and he said that sound is normal i don't agree with him, also do r34 second generation's have a twin plate clutch or single

throwout bearing sounds like if it happens when ur foots off the clutch

mine does it and ive only had a new clutch/throwout bearing in there for about 5000km's

im not sure why the throwout bearings wear or whatever they do so quick

do have to say however mines not like what ur describing but yours could be considerably more worn then mine or perhaps incorrectly fitted?

do you know if/when its had a clutch changed and if they replaced the throwout bearing?

im not sure i had the car imported but its only done 30.000KM im guessing the clutch is still the first from birth

more then likely

mine had a stock clutch in it when i got it. you should know if they are stock as they are rather soft and have a wide pressure point..... (or whatever its called im having a mental blank)

but if u run your car and press the clutch and the noise goes away then it could be your throwout bearing
