New Clutch Problems
Alrite i got myself a new clutch for my 97 2.2 CL (finally the old one had about 176xxx miles on it.) I got an exedy clutch and pressure plate, a 10lb flywheel and new throwout bearing. Its got about 180 miles on it right now the only problem I have is a rattling sound coming from my clutch fork, which started around 70miles. It rattles when i'm idling or when the car is in gear and the rpms are low. If I push the clutch in just a hair it'll go away. Every now and then it wont rattle but it does most of the time.
Soooo what i'm thinking is:
1> the pedal needs to be adjusted to get rid of any play
2>I didnt bleed the clutch fluid correctly and there could still be an air bubble in the line
3>the slave cylinder is going and not holding the fork tightly enough
4>the throw out bearing is loose or bad
5>the cap on my clutch fluid resevour (cant spell) does leak and that could prevent the system from building up enough pressure-- doubt this though.
thats all i can think of. I havent beat on the clutch at all. I did have a few shakey starts and two stalls when i first started driving it. I'm hoping nothing rattled out of place. I dont think the throw out bearing is bad because its not a clicking noise just a rattling like a bad tensioner on a chevy or something. And the slave cylinder is 10 years old just something to consider. I was just wondering what you thought. Thanks Guys!

Re: New Clutch Problems (syphers47)
Is the clutch arm snapped back onto the pivot ball stud in the bell housing?
It is supposed to be held on by a spring clip retainer.
You don't want the slave pushing tight against the fork, that would be the same as riding the clutch al the time.
