Clutch Popping

hmotes · November 11th, 2006, 08:52 PM

I think its the pilot bearing, but maybe ya'll can help me out. When I release my clutch pedal you can hear/feel a pop. That happened after I started to feel my car vibrating, and its through all the gears. Its not a big vibration but you can feel it. My clutch is a new centerforce mybe 1500 miles on it. Thanks in advance.

If your car in in neutral with the clutch out ..... the only thing moving in the trany is the pilot bearing.

So indeed there is a good chance it is the pilot bearing. However when my pilot bearing went out it didn't pop but it make a but load of noise.

Did you grease where the release bearing slides on the input shaft, maybe it is binding or the release lever is too loose on it's pivot ball?
