i was wondering if there were any strange ticking noises or any at all i should expect to hear from an aftermarket/racing clutch... or should it be completely smooth? also, is a new flywheel a must?

 

you dont have to put a new flywheel but it helps your car out a lot but if you use the stock one make sure they resurface your flywheel and there will be no chatter

 

if you get a 6 or 4 puck you will hear chatter but it is normal, that is what they are suppose to to do, you can only really hear it during deceleration while in gear, if you push the clutch in the noise goes away

 

well i have a stage 4, with the 4 puck, it does it while idleing and deceleration, i have the 2.4 also.....

 

yah thats the only time it should, during acceleration and while in neutral you cant really hear it

 

what does it mean if it does it while ideling???

 

do you mean like idleing while its in neutral/clutch is in, cuz you might be able to hear it a little bit but it shouldnt be loud like it is during deceleration

 

it is pretty loud when idelin/neutral, and it is a fast ticking, almost a knock, i know it is the clutch cuz when i push the clutch pedal, the noise goes away. what could this be???

 

does anyone know what this could be caused by???

 

Lift the front of the car, climb under and look at the small sheet metal shield that is held on with two 6 mm bolts, right next to the starter. Sometimes it gets installed wrong and will make a ticking noise. If it is, you will be able to see that it is contacting the teeth of the flywheel. Either reposition it or bend it off of the flywheel teeth.

 

darklord, it sounds like my orginal clutch problem. Mine did the exact same thing. It was the slave cylinder inside the trans that was making that noise. Did you replace the slave cylinder with the new clutch, and did you resurface the flywheel?

 

no, i did not rplace the "slave cylinder" do you have any links to where i could buy one?
