Good morning, I've been searching and was unable to find a resolve so I'm praying you guys can help me.

I just replaced my clutch in my 2009 FA5 with an Exedy Stage 1 08806 with a matching HF02 chromoly flywheel.

Ever since the clutch was installed, at 50+mph, there is a pronounce metallic grinding/rattling noise coming from the trans/clutch area.

It only occurs while coasting, if the clutch or throttle is applied it completely dissapates. I've read everything from throw out bearing, pilot bearing to input shaft bearing being the culprit and I'm on the brink of going insane, the noise is unbearable.

The noise wasn't present prior to the clutch install, I replaced it merely because it was starting to show symptoms of slippage. The technician that performed the work hasn't a clue so I'm looking to the expertise of the 8thCivic members.

The rattling/grinding noise ONLY presents itself while coasting and completely silence itself the moment you press the clutch or thottle. Thank you for any much needed help gentlemen.

 

Is it a sprung hub disc?

 

Yes sir.

 

Any chance that one of the springs on the hub, have come off the disc? I've seen that happen before...
