Zed Head Posted July 30, 2022 Share #25 Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Usually they put a sticker on that says "flywheel side". I don't see it on yours so it's probably right. And the hub usually pokes in to the hole in the pressure plate which yours does. Looks correct. But, I think that problem might just be related to the fact that you're using one of those high performance clutches. They're not made for comfort. They're made for grabbing and going.

Captain Obvious Posted July 30, 2022 Share #26 Posted July 30, 2022 Well I stand by the belief that the problem is in front if the transmission somewhere and not internal to the tranny itself. Is this an accurate description of what's going on in your sound byte? Put it in first and rev the engine with the car not moving. All quiet. Let the clutch out a little bit and let the car creep forward. Push the clutch in and come to a stop with it still in first and rev the engine. Unpleasant noise. If that's what's happening, I really don't think the problem is inside the tranny case. I think it's something in the clutch system. I don't have any strong theories about exactly what is going on, but I think something is chattering around in there. Disk on the splines as ZH suggested above? Is there any possibility the starter is involved? Something shifting somehow and the starter gear is buzzing against the ring gear on the flywheel? Seems hard to come up with an explanation of the sequence of events, but just tossing that out there as something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After i seen what you have in there.. i think it even more! That's why i always stick to original, to avoid this kind of hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted July 30, 2022 Share #29 Posted July 30, 2022 Those puck style discs don't have the marcels, or cushioning plates, between the friction material surfaces. They are prone to chatter. https://www.maximummotorsports.com/Clutch-Disk-Tech-C294.aspx#:~:text=Marcels - A clutch disk with,the flywheel and pressure plate. http://thecartech.com/subjects/auto_eng/Auto_Clutch.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted July 30, 2022 Share #30 Posted July 30, 2022 I'd just keep it to scare my friends. Rev, rev...Beees! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Berk Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share #31 Posted July 30, 2022 As long as it's not indicative of a problem I'm OK with it. Actually, the 5-speed that I rebuilt using parts out of a 4-speed that sounds like it has straight-cut gears would go well with this clutch ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted July 31, 2022 Share #32 Posted July 31, 2022 I don't know that there's nothing wrong with it. You might try making a few hard pulls with it and see if the pucks will bed in and behave differently. I had a clutch that chattered when it got hot. It was terrible, had to change it. But it was fine when it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Berk Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share #33 Posted August 5, 2022 It looks like the clutch pucks bed in after a bit more of driving. Thanks everyone for the help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted August 6, 2022 Share #34 Posted August 6, 2022 Wait... Are you saying the noise went away and it's all good now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Berk Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share #35 Posted August 6, 2022 No more noise, no more bees, and as far as I can tell, all good. Plus, I think I successfully rebuilt that ancient Hein Werner jack I use to remove my transmission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
