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.

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?

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

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
