Flywheel/ Throw-out barring "chatter"....

Gawl128 · 02-12-2013, 10:33 PM

Thanks for the info.

Yea there is a decently loud whine when (mainly) coming out of first to neutral at speed (once in neutral it's gone, but if I'm say at 10mpg in first - then depress the clutch - it's really noisy - like a loud whine ... Then going to neutral stops it). It can very lightly be heard traveling through the rev range in first.

What clutch did you upgrade too exactly?

Other then the over all "chatter" going away - how else did it change things?

Thanks again.

If you are talking about the chatter/clunking sound when depressing the clutch traveling slow under light load, this is normal. However i cannot recall ever having a whining noise. I personally am running a RSP clutch that I got from Specialty Z. I cant say enough about it. Has an almost stock like feel, but a MUCH better engagement. You also, like I said get rid of the whine and clunking. Sebastian (from specialty Z was very helpful I highly recommend you give him a call if you do tell him Blake from Fast Intentions sent you.

he is on the forums as sebz and here is his shop # (818) 703-6272. Like I said the pedal feel is hardly stiffer than stock (if any) and really engages nice which makes the car more fun to drive as well! As far as I know most aftermarket clutches have a much stiffer pedal feel to get this nice quick engagement (which most drivers prefer in a sports car) I would have to say that is my favorite thing about the clutch. It also can hold up to 600whp or so I believe just incase the mod bug bites you!

Hey man. Thanks a lot. Hopefully - I can start to figure this 1st gear whine now.

Honestly mine whines as well. The tech checked the fluid level and it was okay. It drives fine and is under warranty so when it blows up I guess I will just replace my thought of "because it's not right" with " because it has a supercharger" ; )
