**loud clutch sqeeling problem** help

[rockinpandas]

my clutch is sqeeling really loud when i have the pedal in and start letting it out to start moving especially in reverse. if i start at really low rpms like <1500 or so it doesnt do it. and sometimes it will start sqeeling by just having the pedal pushed in...

any ideas on what this could be
thanks

sounds like the throw out bearing is going bad - basically since you have to pull the tranny anyways - time for a new clutch resurfaced flyhweel or light weight one - new throw out bearing and pilot bearing
- have fun
- I just spend over $1k getting ready for my 5 speed swap - and the flywheel and clutch are the most expensive parts!

yeah I would for sure they either didnt swap your throw out bearing - put in it backwards - or put your release sleeve spring in wrong

what ever they did they should eat whatever it cost to fix it! keep all paper work for legal reasons

yeah they are actually really cool. my neighbor is really good friends with them
they actually tell u whats wrong w' ur car first then u can decide if u want them to fix it or fix it urself and dont charge you unless they actually do work.
ill take it to them tomorrow and see what they say

My friends Miata has the same clutch. It makes the same exact noise. ACT gave him some bullshit about that model having a high amount of copper, and its a race product so expect noise

well to be honest that could actually be the problem - I used a ACT once and that thing chattered so bad - I pulled it out - never use them agin

99% Sure it is not the shops install, but more than likely the ACT clutch, as a former partial sponsor of ACT, i still say NO MORE ACT. They're product is sub-par and they cut too many corners to get the feel out of the pressure plates.

DONT use them!

If you want another, better clutch, give me a call.

The throwout bearing was bad, the clutch disk material was pretty low, so he got a street/strip full face, sprung hub act clutch to replace it.

I just ordered a new throwout bearing from Nissan, pretty cheap part. Also you can order them at Autozone or any auto parts store if you give them the correct number. I think it would be the same as a 95 240sx if you have to cross reference. RB810 is the number I gave them. I have the ACT 6 puck, thing started making that noise a week after install.
