So What is This New Noise Coming From My Clutch??
After taking my ITR out of storage for the winter, I'm hearing all sorts of new noises.
Once the car has warmed up, if I blip the throttle, there is a loud TAP TAP TAP noise that I first thought was really loud valves.
But if I push in the clutch, the TAP TAP goes away. I haven't stuck my head under the hood with a 2nd person blipping the throttle and pushing on the clutch...but it definitely seems like a clutch/tranny noise. Anybody exeperience this before? What is it?
Car has 92k miles. Clutch/throwout bearing replaced by Acura at 55K miles.

Johny,it couldn't be a piece that had fallen off.If that were the case pressing the clutch wouldn't make the noise go away.
I agree with yoshi,it is most likely a throwout bearing.It could also be that the pressure plate is about to give it up.

I know this has been covered before, but who makes high quality clutch / pressure plate / throwout bearing combinations? (Street and road course use)
I don't want to use Acura clutch parts again - they seem to wear out/break very quickly.

Throw out bearing should only make noises with the clutch pedal in and noise should go away if the pedal is out...correct me if I'm wrong.
