Clutch Pedal Rattle

Mr.Greenjeans x '97 cobra · January 4th, 2012, 02:23 AM

I just had a new zoom stage 3 clutch put in. after about a 1000 miles the pedal rattles a bit. Seems that it needs more adjustment. Anyone had this problem?

did you change the throw out bearing as well?

Yes, I'm thinking maybe a firewall adjuster????

If your going to get a firewall adjuster go ahead and get the clutch quadrant also. These cars were made with shitty plastic clutch quadrants that wear out over time. I went with Steeda which is an all metal piece, and loved it.

Did you put an OEM Throw Out Bearing in?

There is usually a spring that holds the pedal at the top, if left off the pedal would ride on the throw out bearing.

No, clutch came with the replacement release bearing,Lefty . If i put just the slightest pressure on the pedal, it feels like it should. There is also a faint noise that I know is the release bearing. This noise also stops when i just touch the pedal. I'll def get the Steeda quadrant, I saw that when I was looking at adjusters. Like the jiggling picture, also Cricket.....
