Clutch Pedal Clicks! Noise Coming From Gearbox

[KnightRiderR33]

Hi guys i have a 1994 nissan skyline r33 GTST. I use this car for drifting and recently was able to up grade the clutch kit to an exedy hd kit at the same time i fitted an exedy light weight fly wheel. Ive had my car back now for 3-4 days everything was running well feels great. Then this morning after returning from dropping my brother off for work i noticed the clutch pedal clicked. Now i know you are all going to try to say that it is the pedal itself the welds have broken.. belive me it isnt as i have replaced the pedal twice before and is a different noise now. if i put my head underneath the car and use my hand to press the clutch i can hear the clicking noise come from the bell housing area at the same time as the new clucth was fitted spigot bush throw out bearing was ll replaced by my mechanic with new gearbox oil.. clutch does not slip its holds up well performance is not affected at all... just being a drift car and taking the abuse it does just makes me question will it hold up or not?? so if anyone has had similar problems could you please let me knnow asap.. thank you

could it be the slave cylinder/ fork area? Mine actually started to click this weekend too (i did not drift ahhahaha) and i've narrowed it down to the slave cylinder...will try lubricating that soon

yeah i think that might be the problem... what would you use to lubricate it??

[darksky34]

off the top of my head, WD40 or grease (???) get it on your finger and just lube up the fork? don't have the specific threads on me right now but do a search for 'clutch creaking/squeaking' or 'lubricate clutch' or 'clutch sound' something along those lines, should find a good few threads which tell you which possible places to check + lubricate

Check for a crack in the pedal box!!!

The extra weight of the new clutch action, not the pressure plate itself, may have cracked the nylon bushes where the return spring is mounted in the clutch frame. I replaced these at 280,000k. No more clicking.

If the sound is from under the car it will be a dry pivot ball. You want to put a small dab of grease in the socket area where the pivot ball contacts. You pull the slave and the rubber boot out. Gently pull the fork off the pivot ball a small amount to get your finger in and dab some grease.

Having a heavy clutch and a dry pivot ball will increase the chances of the pivot ball breaking.
