I just had my clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate changed on my R. They were the original hardware when I bought the car new back in 98. Got around 126K out it.

Now here's the problem, I noticed while I was stuck in traffic I could heard a noise that sounded like a spinning fan blade was hit something, it would get a little louder and faster when I would accelerate, this happens when I am going about like 20-30 mph or if I just let the car coast while in gear. But as soon as I press down the clutch pedal the noise would go away. The problem is intermittent, driving at high speeds don't notice it, did notice today that when I'm turning a corner and accelerating I do hear it.
The two guys who installed the stuff are good friends and both ASE cert'ed mechanics. They wouldn't do a rush job and shaft me.

I'm hoping it's not a flywheel problem, I've been told it's probably the throw out bearing. Either way its gonna suck to crack it open again.

Just wanted some opinions on what you guys think out there. Thanks for any info and insight, I always know I can count on my Honda-Tech homies for good insight. Thanks again! Have a good 4th of July!

 

could be a throwout bearing. what kind/brand of clutch kit did you get? did it include a new pilot bearing and throwout bearing? If it's new, might have to adjust the clutch pedal. if all else fails, bring it back!

 

The kit is ACT, I got the HDSS, 8.8 prolite fly wheel, and yes, it did come with a new pilot bearing and new throw out. I'll ask them if they can adjust the pedal. All I know is this sucks! hehe! Thanks for the help man!

 

throwout bearing 9 times out of 10

 

would you recommend getting a new acura throw out? Thanks!
