Clutch problem

chaosstangman · July 5th, 2009, 01:17 PM

I've had this problem for a long while now the clutch pedal or say something connected to it is causing a lot of rattling when I let completely off the clutch. If I put a little bit of pressure on the pedal it will stop but of course the throwout bearing will start squeeling.

This is the second clutch I've had in the car in less than a year (first one went out cause of a bad throwout bearing that came with it.).

Oh and before I forget I switched out the stock quadrant and stuff for a steeda/upr adjustable setup so i have the firewall piece and the 3 hook piece installed.

You just said what's wrong with it.

which is? I mean the only thing that i could get to temporarily fix it was on the stock quadrant u can somewhat adjust it to make it tighter but it wouldnt stay long at all.

get aftermarket quadrent/cable/adjuster/throwout bearing and call it a day

baine21225 · July 5th, 2009, 02:23 PM

If your old throw out bearing took out a clutch, and your new one is rattling, and the same old throwout bearing is making noise. Ehh forget it I'm stumped.

maybe im being misunderstood the throw bearing was replaced along with the clutch and im not getting the same rattling minus a few other problems that the new clutch solved so to simplify it this is the setup now

new clutch/ bearing
adjustable quadrant/firewall cable setup

pedal is rattling when my foot is completely off it .....
then if I apply a little bit of pressure the rattle stops but the squeeling from the bearing will start up

check to make sure is perfectly inline, like the input shaft, pilot bearing, bellhousing. if your throwout bearings keep going out, you have a misalignment somewhere.

a throwout bearing isnt going to destroy a clutch
