So my clutch is making a little sound when I release the pedal when I shift. Like squealing/rubbing. It does it in every gear when I shift. The sound stops as soon as clutch pedal is fully released. Clutch still grab and hold very well. I have a Spec 3 clutch. I found that this is due to the fact that the clutch is aftermarket? Is that real?

What could it be?

 

The noise isn't there if I quickly shift at a high RPM. The slower I go and slower I shift the more I can ear this rubbing noise (Like a belt squeaking 1 second)
I've found a thread like 1-2 years ago saying that noise was "normal" for Spec clutches. Don't know if It's correct.

 

Oddly enough I just mentioned my old Spec Stage2+ making noise in another clutch thread today. Mine spec clutch was just "chattery" for lack of abetter word. it never squeaked.

Also it may be worth noting that my stock LNF clutch used to make a quick short squeak, but not in the same situation as yours. Mine was only when shifting quickly during hard pulls. As soon a I would release the clutch it would squeak, but has since gone away. I'm on the stock clutch still with 135k miles.

 

It doesn't make the sound when you just press the clutch pedal? Only does it once the clutch starts to grab?

 

It will but only when in gear.. So yeah, only when it grabs. Like it doesn't fully grab and a friction makes the sound until pedal is released completly. Can do it over and over if I press clutch pedal a little bit. Does it in every single gear. Same exact sound. Sound is louder I think when downshifting.

 

Could be your throw out bearing on it's way out.

 

So that's why on idle a have like a belt squeaking on the right side of my engine and it stops as soon as I give some gas in?
All coming from a **** 50$ TOB that will cost me 1000$ of labor to replace lmao

 

This is the sound it makes : Just ignore the Tick.. Tick.. Tick sound from my injectors but the other main sound.
That's my car in the video!
