Clutch noise?

[ptperformance]

Anyone hear noise coming from there clutch? I have a slight scrapping noise when I engauge and dissengauge the clutch. I know that the LW flywheel will be ready soon and I have a clutch getting done as well so replacements will be here soon. But is anyone getting noise from there clutch when the car is cold?

My car is doing it. My first speed3 didn't, but this one is. I even took it the dealer, but like magic, it stopped doing it. It does it hot or cold, but only from slow starts. (Meaning I let the clutch out very slowly.) The dealer just told me not to worry about it. In a way, I am not -- if something breaks, they will fix it.

The Name I thing for that part that is making the noise is the throwout Bearing and yes is under warranty to change that.

last week, i was driving normally from work to house, and when i slowed down and entered my community, i started hearing louder than usual clutch noise i think. I would only happen a couple of times when i would get ready to park and would have to press or depress the clutch pedal. it was loud enough to sound like something was scratching. to stop the noise i would have to press the clutch pedal and let go. but then if i do that a couple of times after, it would eventually return. i just decided to turn off the car and wait until tomorrow morning. the next day i went to work and the sound was gone and up until this day i have not heard it anymore. it sounded like the typical clutch noise when idling, but like 4 times louder.

when i reverese is the only noise i hear...if u never have try reversing and getting a little speed then dis engaging the clutch and i hear a minor knock noise..

i hear it as soon as i turn the car on and let go of the clutch.

same here if i push the clutch in nothing but as soon as i let it out i get the noise also here it even in neutral

No noise here but I havent ever grinded the gears so maybe that would have something to do with it.

i havent heard it from mine either

I agree with Nonopr and say it is the throw out bearing. If it is worn out on such a new car that means you may have other problems as well. Your clutch could be misaligned so I would have it checked out soon as possible or it could result in a lot more work :(

If you are replacing your clutch and flywheel soon you should get a new throw out bearing as well so that would solve your problem.

Then again, it could be one of a dozen other things that is impossible to diagnose without a road test or hearing the actual sound. Take it to the dealer if it is really worrying you.

well yeah, i know what you mean, just imagine the loudness of that noise you talkin about, but imagine that happening while just pressing and letting go the clutch pedal a couple of times, then it would maintain the noise until the clutch is pressed. but i couldnt say that the actualy sound itself was the same as mine, all i know is that its still hasn't done it again

i hear it as soon as i turn the car on and let go of the clutch.
yeah that sound is normal, its just not as loud as what i mentioned before

i have a scraping noise upon engaging/disengaging the clutch - for now. the car has like 2k miles on it, so i can't imagine something is broken, like the TO bearing..? and i haven't been beating on it, either.

nobody knows what this is?

Could very well be the throw out bearing. My car started doing it right before I sold it. I did a hard burnout before a run and bam it started making the noise. It's either because these cars have dual mass flywheels, or it could be your flywheel tapping your clutch because of a seized bearing. Have it checked out, especially with 2k miles.

thanks for the reply, staples - thing is, i swear it's more of a noise within the engine bay e.g. the something tied to the pedal assembly is scraping. not sure, though. i'll have to get it looked at.

dual-mass flywheels FTL - my old car had one; swapped in a 35% lighter single mass flywheel and it was a nice improvement.
