Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
o **** 18. ROFL im pretty sure i have 30+ ft/lb on mine :/ Maybe its TQ'd so much that the clutch cant get in the center because its being held in there so tightly?
The clutch i Bought was used, from a guy who blew his motor, he was seling a bunch of D series parts. He said he never had any issues with it, but idk.

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
i dont think over torquing would do this. the mating surfaces on the flywheel and pressure plate should mate up and once they do i dont think theres any way to get the pressure plate too tight. but even if it was, like i said earlier......if the disc is slightly off center.......once you install the transmission and use the clutch one time........the disc should center itself on the input shaft. did you test fit the disc on the input shaft to make sure it splines nice and snug?

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
It really might be the flywheel cause the new clutch. It's always something else that you wouldn't think it would be because it didn't happen before.
I still think it's the flywheel possibly :S I could be wrong though lol.
Either that or the clutch was just **** to begin with and the guy lied.

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
well i've owned 3 different xtd clutches. i must say that i was not pleased with them, but i never experienced any problems like this
what does the hub on the clutch disk look like? also is there enough friction material left on the pads or is it down to the rivets.
my original thought was a bad pressure plate but you tried two different ones so it's like one in a million that both PP's could be bad.
also check the bellhousing for shiny spots where it could be hitting this is possible.
and one last thing. are you by any chance running the dust cover on the tranny. from personal experience i accidentally bent the dust cover and it was getting hit by the flywheel and it make a terrible knocking noise

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
this is very odd, that is pretty much all i can think of. are you 100% positive that something isn't hitting in the bellhousing
the clutch is disengaged when the pedal is NOT pushed in, meaning the throwout bearing is not pushed against the pressure plate
if this isn't the case i'd try a different clutch and if it still does it maybe the problem lies in the transmission such as an input shaft bearing since the input shaft spins whether or not you are in gear or in neutral

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
well, you could try that. but if the problem is not the disc then youll have to get some other part AND possibly another disc. and if its not that then you might need 3 parts. i definitely understand about being low on funds. do these have a pilot bushing?

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
Right, when i got my exedy kit it came with it, i would replace that, also you cant over tighten the pressure plate. When i did clutch on my b16 the disk wasnt perfectly in the center and it was just fine. Also you need to put SLIGHT amount of lube on the surface where TO bearing moves and input shaft splines. I would have machine shop check the flywheel surface, make sure its not warped

Re: Clutch Knocking/Grinding
yeah pilot bushing/bearing needs to be there and replaced with the clutch. also i just happened to think.......when you tightened the pressure plate did you say the clutch disc wouldnt stay centered? it would still move around? if so then you have a problem with the clutch disc is too worn(you said it looked pretty meaty though, your pressure plate isnt clamping down right.....or your flywheel clearances arent right.
