Clutch still has a grinding sound?

adam585 · November 4th, 2007, 04:35 PM

I just put in a new clutch and it still has a grinding sound, What would cause this. Also is there a time period that I should take it easy on the clutch?

Did you put in a new throw out bearing when you replaced the clutch?

adam585 · November 7th, 2007, 02:45 PM

yes I did

To my knowledge there is a break in period for new clutches. Just take it easy for awhile on it. Did you inspect the flywheel or change it?

I re surfaced the flywheel when we change the clutch.

Shouldnt be grinding how bout a new shift fork?

We looked at the fork and it look fine. Does anything else make a grinding sound other than the clutch? trany, belts?

I say try changing out your cable, quadrant, and adjuster, and adjust it to see if the clutch just isnt disengaging and engaging completley!
