Hi guys, the R recently developed a clicking noise coming from the clutch. The noise occurs as the clutch is being pushed in and at about 3/4 of the way down. It almost sounds like a crunch right before it makes the clicking noise. The clutch itself feels 100% normal, grabs fine, pressure is fine but the damn noise is getting annoying.

Any ideas as to what the issue is? A quick inspection showed nothing out of the ordinary. Thanks for any input.

So nobody knows what makes this noise? Damn it people I want answers!

It is very annoying, I have to bump the tunes to drown it out. Would be nice to get rid of it.

the release bearing could be the issue. have you swapped it out yet?

people actually sit at the traffic light with foot on clutch?

Yup, "Type-R" is synonymous with "Clutch-click"

Try greasing your clutch pedal (that did the trick for mine), if not then it's the slave/master cylinder that needs some lube.

I notice in your sig that you say 4.4 FD dude... Aus spec ITR's have 4.785 FD's stock... Did you change it? Also Aus ITRs have 11:1 Compression.. did you lose some? hehe

AussieR

Yup, he's right about the CR & FD.

I'll try to grease the clutch and see how that goes.

Car has 56,500 k's and has seen one track day very early in its life.

I do. Err, well, I did, until I got that stiff-*** Action 2MD Now it's less effort just to put it in neutral and sit with the clutch released.

Edit: My clutch clicks, but I can't hear it over my [insert car noise here] anymore.

how loud is it?

probably release bearing and/or pressure plate. unless its taking away from drivability, not much you can do.

i do that most of time..nothing bad happend..but its possible to suck air into the line??

AussieR

Its not the throw-out bearing, its coming from the inside of the car. Doesn't matter if the car is off/on, I'll try some grease on the shaft and if that doesn't work oh well. Its not that bad but I figured if there is an easy fix I'd do it.

racebum

i know this is kind of a necropost but mine just started doing this tonight. every now and then there is a click that's coming out of the trans/clutch area. car drives fine did we ever figure out the common cause for this? basically when you let it out real slow off the floor there is a solid click. push it in half way & let it out, no click

racebum

another self cure. oddly the TB was sticking. cycling it back and forth to move the grease around fixed the issue. if anyone else hears clicking from the transmission area, before you tear it apart try moving the clutch fork both directions as far as you can a few times. pushing it toward the slave and back fixed the issue.

racebum nailed it. I was having the same problem, a strange click/pop when the clutch was depressed. greased up the clutch fork and inner area, and boom. problem solved. no more click/pop and no more squeaking when slave engages with the fork. thanks again, HT.

A Honda mechanic found on my 2005 Honda S2000 that, as you depress the clutch pedal, the pushrod entering the master cylinder is tapping against the side of the master cylinder. He got it to stop tapping by slightly twisting the pushrod. But he said that it will inevitably begin to tap the side again. The solution is to replace the master cylinder. I'll have the master cylinder replaced at my local garage because, at an estimated $425, their estimate was $175 cheaper than that of the Honda dealership.
