94 gsr tranny, act 4 puck clutch (not sure tho, dont ask , haha)

anyways, when i drive, the clutch, or whatever it may be, makes a squeeking noise, and slips PRIOR to engaging gear. its like the clutch isng grabbing the gear. da, sounds like i need a new clutch huh. however, most stories i heard of peoples' clutches, the clutch seems to slip while in gear at high rpms, mine NEVER does that. anyone have any insights,

thanks a bunch

 

how about the spring on the pedal? spray it with some lithium grease wd-40 might work but not for very long.

 

Throwout bearing, I think. Someone with better knowlegde will let you know shortly.

 

its not th pedal, i jus changed the clutch master cylinder, the squeek comes from inside the engine bay ,

hopefulyl someone can help me, hehe

 

Slave cylinder "actuator arm" needs to be lubed...

 

how do u lube it? i dont think thats the prob, tho, the sound is actually really loud, like coming out of the engine, or tranny or wutever.

like something is wrong here haha, im looking into getting a new clutch kit.......so expensive tho man

 

dude i have the same clutch and the same problem makes a badass noise now and then. but i have no idea what it is i just drive it and try to not make it make that sound. if anyone knows exactly what we're talkin about give us a hand cause damn does it sound bad at times.

 

ya man, the sound is horrible huh, and the worse thing about when the sound happens is that the clutch doesnt grab the gear, so once, in a long while, the car would make the sound and u would be there for a second or two without moving, thats in 1st gear of course

 

not to be a dumb *** but i just checked the box and it says for offroad use only. not recommended for street use. could it be that since it is a 4 puck strip clutch that it is just not engaging properly cause it isnt getting abused like it would at the strip...hmm just a thought but if anyone knows how to make this go away i would be happy. otherwise im thinking about putting my centerforce stage 3 back in.

Could also be the throw out bearing need to be lubed on the shaft.

 

4 puck clutch discs are prone to making chirp or squeek. The problem seems to be more prevelant with cars using the stock pressure plate.

 

its horrible tho, its makes the clutch not grab the gear. like its slipping or something. dam, and clutches cost so much , so sad, lol

 

act clutch seem to do that, everyone i know with act does it, its actually the clutch grippin that makes that noise not slipping, it sounds like the clutch is screamin at you, its not really a good sound but its nottin to worry about
