Question about clutch wear and sound

phohman · 03-21-2012, 02:54 PM

Another question I have is when I depress the clutch I sometimes here a flappy sound, like the clutch shaking or something? Not like the whole car or anything, just the clutch internals kinda making a wierd sound. Seems to happen more up and down hill than on a flat surface, but on occasion is happens on a flat surface.

My clutch will make noise at lower speeds, Like a rattle in between the disc and input splines or sometimes the damper springs on the clutch disc can make noise too. IMO this is normal.

This sounds like what I"m hearing, it's only in low gears.

Miles is 1k. Sound has existed since I bought the car. The loosening (in feel) of the clutch has just been this last weekend when I really got on it hard. Was very sensitive up until that point. Would catch so violently I would sometimes set off the VDC. Now clutch feels a ton softer. Just wanted to know if it was normal after a beating that a new clutch would feel this different overnight.
