Clutch Popping sound

370zFORme!! · 03-18-2010, 02:58 PM

Does anybody else's clutch make a popping sound as it engages sometimes? Mine does this randomly. Comes and goes. Tried to do a search, nothing came up. Dealer says its normal, just like everything else.

No mine is a very distinct "pop" as you engage the clutch. I know chatter is normal, or so I've heard all over.

I get that "pop" sometimes as I engage second. Try revving a little higher and pushing in the clutch a little more slowly.

But, yea, it seems to be a common/normal issue.

I had a pop when I was going slow in 1st or 2nd. Took it to the dealer and it turned out it was the axle bolts (or something?). They fixed it and now it doesn't

Mine's not a 'pop' but it feels like clutch doesn't completely disengage right away.
Maybe i'm too sensitive on my foot but sometimes when I depress clutch all the way i feel small rumbling and hear it as well. It goes away after a while. only does it from roll-stop 1st gear (parking) and rarely when I start the car and for first few seconds. (maybe i should stop putting into 1st gear when i park)

That's probably just the pressure plate occassionally sticking.

Haha you guys are comedy!

i don't know if it's the same sound but after driving it hard today, the clutch makes a clicking sound every time I release it. It sounds much more of a click than a pop sound.

370zFORme!! · 03-09-2011, 01:02 AM

Youre right it is a clicking sound, I just have a horrible way of explaining things sometimes
