Does anyone here get clutch/flywheel chattering noises from their car at idle? My car makes a chattering noise at idle unless the clutch pedal is pressed in, and it's worrying me, because it didn't used to happen, and it gradually gets louder as time goes by.
 I'm running a JUN 9 lb. chromoly-steel flywheel for a AE86 GT-S, and a Clutch Masters stage one clutch kit, also designed for the AE86 GT-S. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? The thought of a flywheel exploding in a FWD Celica and ending my life or taking off my legs is very scary. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

If the bearing is faulty, you'll have to jack up your car, open your bellhousing and take the clutch assembly appart! Good fun for all! You can buy a new bearing real cheap ($20 AUD over here) from any decent clutch/transmission store - or even Toyota.
If you do go ahead to replace the bearing (or get a shop to do it - $$) It might be worth taking the flywheel and pressure plate and getting them balanced... If this was not done when they were put on it could definately be helping cause the chattering. |
