So i have had this clutch in for about 5,000 miles, still grips hard, at any RPM. My problem is that it rattles when i shift while in 1st to 2nd at about 2500-3000 rpm and does the same thing in 3rd. It only does this when driving around town (normal driving conditions). Is this because i have OEM Flywheel? Will an Exedy stage 1 organic clutch do the same thing with Fadanza 8 pound flywheel?

 

how do you know the clutch is rattling? If its rattling, that means something is loose.....which is not good.

confirm how you know its the clutch.

 

when i am releasing the clutch and it starts to engage with the flywheel, thats when it makes a sound like they are moving at completely different speeds, is that because i have a oem flywheel? it has the worse ride around the town, especially when coming from a stop
Basically its like he tranny shakes, and the wheel on that side does also, when going in reverse when the clutch is trying to engage

 

Is it a metallic puck type clutch? If so, what you're describing is normal. Did you resurface the flywheel friction surface? If not, that is probably aggravating the problem.

they ARE moving at different speeds.

what you are describing is very similar to clutch chatter.

yea exatcly, is that normal? Can it hurt my mounts or tranny? Everytime i realse the clutch to hard after shifting it jults the car foward or it makes other things clank(make noise) in the engine bay?

I will be going to To college in New york city towards the beginning of september would it be wise for me to replace the clutch with an Exedy stage one organic clutch?

Ps the car is a Daily Driver

 

dude just buy a good clutch that garbage is not worth you aggrivation. it will break down on you if your going to be in new york, thats some of the hardest driving your car will ever see.

i say resurfacing also or the bearings...most likely you would need to resurface it.

 

XTD sux! I used them for about 7k miles and then my clutch crapped out on me.

looked like this:

 

Okay, so would you guys suggest I get another clutch? Would an Exedy stage 1 organic clutch give me a smooth shift while driving around town & grip when I want to shift at high rpms?
