After my burnout I pull out and I have very little clutch pedal pressure so i immediatly pull off the track and into the pits. I put the street tires back on and go for a spin. When starting from 0 mph it makes a bad grinding noise as I let out the clutch. Once I get going it shifts fine into all the other gears, drives like nothing is wrong. I had no other issues with clutch pressure. When I start from a roll in 1st gear the noise isn't there, its only from a stop.

The clutch is ACT 6pk with extreme pp. tranny is b16 with quaife lsd.


EDIT: tonight i took it out for the first drive since i got back from the track the other night and the noise is pretty much gone. Im guessing that something on the clutch or pressure plate is messed up and it might have slowly worn down. the clutch isn't slipping though. Also, the slave cylinder squeaks loud when pressing in the clutch now...

bumppp

 

too many things it could be
gotta open that sucker up

if you need trans work, i'm avail

 

yah maybe ill take off the tranny and my clutch will just fall out... thats what im hoping atleast bc im def going to put in a new clutch while i have it apart... hopefully the tranny wont need work as well.

 

well i doubt your clutch is the only prob, tell me how it turns out.

 

how long have you had the clutch?

 

5k on it - 2k at this power level

 

i have a sort of grind type sound when my 6 puck is cold, and it only occurs when i start in first or reverse. after a few minutes it always goes away. its been like that since i got the clutch, and it also chatters mroe when teh clutch is cold too. i had always assumed it was normal since i have had other clutches that did it and after inspection i couldnt find a problem.

also, its almost impossible to avoid clutch chatter now when starting out.
