Springy sound when clutch is pressed

tkadhrhd · 11-28-2013, 12:04 AM

Hey guys, mine is less than 100 miles now and hearing a weird noise. I know z's are known for making all these different clutch sounds, but mine seems a bit different.
When the clutch is pressed from 1st gear around 2-3k rpm for the 2nd gear, I get this springy sound. It sounds like a compressed spring being released. oscillating back and forth really fast. The sound is only heard when the clutch is pressed all the way in.
Is this normal or should I take it to the dealer??

Have you removed the helper spring?

Because there is a spring down there. Though, the sound is normal I believe. I remember hearing/feeling it back when I had it installed.

No everyting is stock. The sound seems to be coming from outside of the car. From the clutch, flywheel, of pressure plate im guessing.

Thanks for your quick reply

If it's coming from inside the cabin it may be the pedal spring ends getting in a bind and then releasing. Lubricate (WD-40, graphite, &c) the inside part of the hook on the spring where it touches the car. If it's coming from outside the cabin, then I have no idea.

Thanks for your replies! Today i found out if i dont press the clutch all the way in and shift to second, i dont hear that wobbly springy noise. But whenever i disengage the clutch completly when the car is rolling, i hear it from outside of the cabin. Its coming from the front of the car i think
