scott87 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 You can hear it towards the end of the video. It is like a chirping sort of sound..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Clutch pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Clutch pedal? It doesnt sound like the clutch pedal. Its really difficult to identify. It seems to only be from a standing start. Will only do it if i try and ease away slowly but doesnt seem to change noise if i accidently make the car judder (competition clutch) so im inclined to think its not the clutch plate. It also doesn't sound anything like any release bearing noise ive heard before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sticky callipers possibly? Wouldn't that be a noise under loads of scenarios? My calliper was sticking and is being replaced but it just seems odd to not make the noise at other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it on my previous Supra where it would only make the noise sometimes when pulling away or when parking at times. All depends I guess how bad a state it is in.

scott87 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks Abz. New calipers are being refurbed and painted so will see if that cures it when I swap em over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 What just a noise the clutch made? Did it die down or did you just live with it? it did go a little but never fully went if you let of the clutch a bit quicker it dident do it only when trying to be gentle on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok well the noise is still there. If i pull away briskly it isnt there, if i ride off just the clutch it is only there sometimes. If i try and crawl on the biting point that is when its at its worst. It also seems to be a little less obvious when the car isnt cold. Im certain it isn't the brakes or anything else as if i quickly blip the clutch pedal back in the squeak stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_cbr Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 yeh that sounds exatly like my old ceramic clutch nothing wrong just a noise to live with or let off the clutch a bit quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I can't watch the video on my phone but it sounds like the same problem me and berg are having? At its worst when slowly accelerating through the biting point. We are both using the spec stage 3, I put it down to the release bearing not being upto the job so planned on fitting a oem one but I believe the compition clutch needs to be installed with the oem release bearing so I guess I'm way off! What flywheel do you have? Could it be that it needs resurfacing?? Sorry not much help, I'm just clutching at straws! but if you ever find out what it is please let me know its driving me mad it sounds awful!!

Sorry not much help, I'm just clutching at straws! but if you ever find out what it is please let me know its driving me mad it sounds awful!! Its the stock flywheel. It feels really nice to drive and if i try to drive without the noise thats when the clutch judders. If i just think to hell with it and drive how it feels right the clutch is great but that noise is there. The oem release bearing is needed as the competition one doesnt fit. I have the spec 4 clutch. I assume that it is something i am going to have to live with. Im guessing the way the puc style clutch presses apposed to the oem one it is either wearing it differently or something maybe? Im not sure but this has covered a few miles in my car so i cant call it bedded in at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Have you tried pumping the clutch a few times with the box in neutral? Mine once made a similar noise when I pushed the clutch down and pumped a few times and gone. I put it down to lack of use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sounds typically like worn out cerrametallic clutch plate to me. They are race clutches and not designed to be slipped, totally unsuitable for daily driving, IMO. Does it also judder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I had a competition puk style ceramic clutch and it was awful under normal driving, made a lot of noises just like the one you have and would judder violently ecspically in reverse that was a nightmare. When giving the car the beans it was great no noise no slipping just gripped all day long, great on the track totally useless on the road.

absz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thats your spigot bearing in the flywheel/crank making the noise:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thats your spigot bearing in the flywheel/crank making the noise:) It could need replacing maybe. But my money would still be on the puk clutch chewing the face off of the flywheel:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Thats your spigot bearing in the flywheel/crank making the noise:) If it were a plain phosphor bronze bush used as a spigot bearing I might agree, but ball race ones very rarely squawk even when the lubricant has dried out.

It only judders if i dont put enough revs down or reverse without any revs at all, other than that its completely normal. - - - Updated - - - I had a competition puk style ceramic clutch and it was awful under normal driving, made a lot of noises just like the one you have and would judder violently ecspically in reverse that was a nightmare.

See mine is really nice uncer normal driving so im not sure that this is the same problem. Im beginning to wonder if my na clutch was already uprated as i really havent noticed to great a deal difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there is more than just me with this weird noise now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 i have now been informed that this is completely normal. It is the material that the clutch is made out of that is the "issue". It is not the flywheel being eaten. The noise should only be present in 1st and revers. No other gears. If it is then there is something else wrong. I guess i will just live with the noise. Once i get rid of the rattle from my intercooler pipe and the dash rattle i'll only have that annoying squeak to put up with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
