Buh-dat-dut-dut-dut??
 

I was driving home with my windows down and while backing into the driveway I hear *buh-DAT-dut-dut-dut* as I engaged my clutch.

I pulled out of the driveway and forwards, backwards..makes no difference.

Is this normal? If not...WTH is it??:confused:

happy.... wish I could help. Could you maybe record the audio? Hard to decipher sounds with text....

I know right? I was thinking "now how am I going to describe that" while scratching my head. Thanks for being the first to step up and tell me I'm being a typical Midas customer! :)

I'll try to record it tomorrow so you fan hear!

Ok..here's the clip. I just went ahead outside and shot this. You can hear it really well the first two times (0:03 & 0:09) I depressed the clutch, and then a couple of more times at the end (0:50 & 0:57).

Please pardon the wind noise. :(

Yeah i get that sound alot if i quickly disengage the clutch at low rpms

Hmm, is that normal then?

:confused: :confused:

I believe it is just chatter when disengaging the clutch to quick... I have expierienced it a couple times.

When I first got my car it did that (clutch chatter) whenever I would press the clutch in while in first gear. I learned to avoid it by depressing the clutch more smoothly. From what I have read on here, it's not something to worry about.

I got the same thing all the time when I started driving the Z, but it never happens when the wife drives. I guess you gotta be gentle with it.

That's the sound I get if I disengage the clutch under a slight load. There's a slight tension that is suddenly released, causing ocsillations in the drive train. Do you have synchro-rev on?

Interesting. Well if this is normal I suppose I wont worry about it then. :)

Yes SRM is on.

I sometimes get that noise but only crawling such in 1st gear (~5mph as in traffic) and suddenly engaging the clutch really quickly.

My car is a MY11 with 4100 miles on it and judging by the others who posted before me - most likely nothing to worry about.

Yep, that's EXACTLY what's going on! Ok, now I'm feeling a little better now! Whew!
