Hey guys,
I had an ACT extreme kevler clutch installed with an aluminum flywheel a couple of months back, and it works great, but makes noises. When I engage the clutch, I can hear a squeek when friction disc slips on the flywheel. This usually only happens in first and second gears whenever I make a slow start up a hill, or really anytime I slip the clutch putting it into gear. I was wondering if this is normal for kevlar clutches, or if the installers put it in crooked. Does anyone else have this problem? Would a tranny additive like redline help any? It still works fine, but is pretty annoying and maks my car sound crappy. Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

 

Mine does the same. Its a clutchnet clutch. Its very annoying, and almost bad enough to want to buy a different one. Does anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

I have a set of Hawk kevlar pads on my my car too, and I have noticed that they do squeel more than organic pads do. Maybe it is just normal for kevlar friction material. Does anyone else with a kevlar clutch out there have experiances with noisy engagements?

 

Action segmented kevlar clutch. Quiet as the night is long.

My 4 puck ACT clutch did the same thing every time I would pull out of 1st gear, it's normal...

 

nobody knows of any way to make the noise go away then? even if it is normal?

 

Anyone with any ideas?

 

My Clutchmasters Stage 3 with kevlar doesn't make a sound. Beats me.

 

I bought my car not long ago, so I'm not even sure what clutch it has in it but many friends who have driven it say it's aftermarket - I too get a squeak sound while feathering in 1st gear - It's not really a squeak from the inside but sounds like it's coming from the outside and it's rather loud
