KY 6 Puck Clutch Owners + Squeak
So after reading various posts, and making one of my own, I've noticed that I'm not the only one with a KY 6 puck clutch that makes a really loud squeak when the clutch engages. For me, it seems to mostly happen when the clutch engages in first gear and I begin to move from a dead stop. Rarely happens anywhere else. I didn't start to notice it until after installing Pedders springs. I'm not sure if that is a coincidence or the reason. Clutch has been in for about 3k miles.
If you have a squeak and you own this clutch, please post the details. I would like to know more about it and more importantly, figure out how to make it stop. |
Have the SAME problem. Will do in reverse as well.
|
So far mine doesn't squeek, but I also only have 800 miles on the clutch so I guess only time will tell.
Unralated to the kys3, a buddy of mine has a spec 6 puck clutch (not sure if it's the 3+ or not) in his ion and holly jesus does that thing howl when he takes off from a stop. |
dont they squeak cause theyre not supposed to slip?

If you post that yours squeaks, please give details on miles driven and also any other mods. I'm curious how many squeakers have lowering springs and if those that don't squeak are just new or at stock height. |
I have a spec 3+ and it squeaks if I don't rev match on a downshift or it's not warmed up. Never had an issue with the clutch so I never thought much of it.
Edit: I'm running pedders springs with fe5 struts and koni yellows in the rear. Big turbo setup. |
My Clutchmasters stage 4 does the same thing and I was told it was the throwout bearing, so i replaced it with a brand new LNF TOB, and it still squeeks lol so I assume its normal because mine has been doing it for 10k.

i had a spec stage 3+ with their aluminum flywheel. never "squeeked" had some chatter from the flywheel and thats it.

See.... I REFUSE to listen to that damn thing squeak every single time I move from a stop. It's like a runny faucet. It will drive me nuts.
Full face disc the only fix? Or is it the pressure plate clamping force causing this? Clutch material? |

My KY stage 3 squeeks a little from a dead stop in 1st. Only sometimes tho. But i have found that if i rev a little higher it doesn't squeek..like a few 100 rpms

My ZZP Stage 4 sometimes makes a tiny squeak after I release the clutch and it catches the gear, especially when you step on it or you don't have the shift synchronized. It's not all the time in mine which seems sounds like it's the same thing going on with yours so I'd assume this is normal.

I have a 6 puck ceramic clutch and it has been doing that for almost a year now. 1st and 2nd will squeak a little but never in 3rd or higher. It didn't do it at first only after 2,000 miles or so, or at least when I noticed it. I don't have any suspension mods just stock stuff.

Good info everyone. Thanks for posting.
Bump. |
