clutch chatter?
I installed an exedy stgll clutch about a month ago I was wondering if the ticking/fluttering noise that occurs when I let off of the clutch is normal? It only happens when I am going into first from a stop from when I let off of the clutch half way to when the clutch is engaged.
-
did you use an alignment tool? did you check to see if that bearing was good? torque down all the bolts?
that is not normal.
-
yea I used the alignment tool and torqued all of the bolts at a criss cross pattern and used a feeler gauge around the pressure plate to make sure I wasnt torqueing one side down more than another. The bearing was the new one that came with the clutch and when I spun it was smooth with no noises. Once the car is in gear there is no noise and it only does it when I am going into 1st. Other than that it drives perfect.
-
i wonder since it is a higher "stage" clutch, if that is just what it does. like the energy suspension motor mounts causing vibrations.
does it drive normal? and by that, i mean shift.. how many miles on the new clutch?
-
I have about 500 miles on it and it works fine eccept for the rattle. I have esmm too I can tell a difference in vibrations with those too. I was just wondering why it would only do it in first? Mabey its because of the load of moving a car that is not moving like putting more strain on the new clutch because of starting from a stop.

does any one have any imput on the subject? I would hate to drive my car if there was a problem. Thanks tnhatch!

i know someone with a 350z that just put in a 6 puck clutch and his chatters bad under the same conditions and his is perfectly fine. I think that the noise you're hearing is normal and I wouldn't worry too much about it
-
I run a 6puck and mine dose it to. It's fine.
-
what brand stage 2 do you have? I have competition stage 2, and no chatter at all.
-
Competition stage 4 six puck chatters abit if you try to slip first gear.
-
Its an exedy stage 2. I realized that if you engage 1st fast like under a race like condition not normal street driving it does not make the noise. I guess its a sacrafice you have to make with an aftermarket clutch. Thanks for your help guys!

do you know if it is a sprung or un-sprung disc? i friends act 6-puck unsprung doesn't do it , but the sprung version is chatters alot when taking off from a stop. if you are sure that the install is done soundly, i would put my money on this.
-
It had springs around the center so I am guessing it is sprung
-
yeah it is. more than likely that is where you are getting the chatter from. the sprung clutch is easier on engagement, witht he trade-off being that little bit of chatter you get.
