Less than 20k ago I put in an Exedy clutch and had the stock flywheel resurfaced. Recently the clutch isn't grabbing until it's almost all the way out and it slips like a mother. The transmission has also developed a whine under acceleration and it chatters under accel or decceleration. If I push the clutch in that chatter goes away.

Could my clutch be bad already? I still have pretty good pressure in the pedal but it slips like mad. Last weekend I replaced the release bearing and also the pilot bearing but it did not fix the problem.

Someone mentioned that when the stock flywheel was resurfaced that they might have taken to much off and over time the clutch disk has wore down and now it's not engaging or disengaging correctly.

I have tried adjusting the pedal under the dash. If I turn the shaft in so it pushes the pedal out it makes the noises go away but the clutch slips worse. I have also bled the line and have all new fluid in there.

sounds like the ISB, when you press on the clutch; does the chattering inmediately go away or it kinda coasts to a stop?

 

Before I changed the throwout bearing it would stop immediately when I pushed the clutch in just a little bit. Now after the replacement it don't stop making the noise until the clutch is all the way in.

 

Sounds like the input shaft bearing.

TTT .. anyone?
