i just did my first clutch cahnge on a 97 civic ex, it made a scratching noise before i changed the clutch i followed every step to chnage it and its still makes it. its competition stage 2 clutch. it cratches when i ease of the gass and am still on gear. thanks

 

did you torque everything down to spec? Did you resurface your flywheel?

 

yeah i toruqued the flywheel bolts to i believe like about 76 and the pressure plate ones to 19. no the flywheel wasnt resurface, it had some marks on it but i just cleaned it up. i ran my fingers through it and it seemed fine. should i have resurfaced it. what else can it be?

 

Scratching? like metal rubbing together?

 

it's always recomended that when puttin on a new clutch. If flywheel is not resurface, it can cause chattering, because the flywheel isn't even.

 

Damn i think this is it! is there anyway that the tranny is bad? thanks for your help!

 

Doubt the tranny is bad. take it apart and either get it resurfaced or get a lightweight balanced replacement.

 

thanks!
