: Clutch deenice2k 03-19-2008, 03:42 PM I replaced the clutch about a month ago and it was broken in properly (Spec Stage 3+ clutch). The car goes in gear with no problems but there's a whine noise when I release the clutch pedal. What could be causing this? ser20 03-21-2008, 02:47 PM does it do it when in first and reverse? and also when cold? i hope you didn't get the same clutch i have... xtd???? deenice2k 03-22-2008, 05:57 PM nope. it's a Spec clutch and it does it whether the car is cold or hot... projectmk3 03-22-2008, 06:13 PM maybe clutch adjustment needed? (keep in mind ...im a noob lmao) Nx2k GTi-R 03-22-2008, 06:31 PM so crazy i got a spec stage 3 and its got the same noise does it go away when u just touch the clutch pedal a tiny bit... but anyway the noise was there since i put it in.. and i guess its been about a month and i can start to hear the noise going away at times.. but its still there for the most part.. :confused: deenice2k 03-24-2008, 06:21 PM so crazy i got a spec stage 3 and its got the same noise does it go away when u just touch the clutch pedal a tiny bit... but anyway the noise was there since i put it in.. and i guess its been about a month and i can start to hear the noise going away at times.. but its still there for the most part.. :confused: I called Spec and spoke to one of the techs and told him about the noise and he said the noise is due to the material of the clutch disk. He also said the noise is normal for that clutch. If you hadn't said anything about your experience, I would have thought it was something I did wrong, although I dropped the tranny and checked everything to make sure I didn't do anything wrong but the noise was still there. I should have called them when I first heard the noise. It would have saved me a lot of time. Now that we know the cause of the noise, this thread can be closed. zipstrips 03-26-2008, 01:59 PM Its the throw out bearing actually. I wouldn't worry, my spec in the toyota does the same thing and I haven't had an issue yet. erick212 03-28-2008, 08:19 PM Its the throw out bearing actually.

Be very careful with the spec stage3(if it is the sprung hub) I have had them throw springs(mor often than other brands) and I had one that the hub ripped apart from the outer part of the disk and that was N/A..... with a little juice;) . | ||
