Flywheel/Clutch Chatter Options

[Coomer]

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.

just 2 4x4 blocks and a plywood peice that is thick enough to hold the motor.I put carboard under the 4x4 so it doesnt scrape the paint. In order to drop a trans you have to remove all 3 mounts. therefore the motor must be braced. the 7a has a hook on the side that the rope is tied to.

you can probably brace it from the oil pan but you would need to put a peice of wood in between the jack and the pan so the pressure is distributed.

as far as bracing and pulling the trans we put a jack under it with a peice of wood and we had a rope wrapped around the trans and the board holding the motor so the trans wouldn't just fall down.

also the protective sealant. there is one on flywheels and one on the pressure plate face where it touches the clutch. use brake fluid or paint thinner to remove it. just wipe it on and then wipe it off, its corrosiveness will take the sealant off.


hit me on aim Scheetz316 if you got any questions.
