Clutch Chatter

[harwood39]

Ok. So i noticed that i had a chattering/knocking coming from the front of my car. I thaught it was just somthing being loose, but no, everthing was fine. So i drove around a little and figured out that it happens when i am engaging the clutch. Also, if the clutch pedal isnt all the way to the floor, it vibrates with the chattering. But it doesnt chatter or anything when its fully engaged or even when the pedal is all the way to the floor, fluids are fine. It first started durring the track day on memorial day.

Oh ya, i forgot to mention that it doenst slip at all when it is fully engaged. Its just fine.

And i dont want to hear this stupid shit about me abusing it torbs. I know its been abused, plus it is the stock clutch.

[harwood39]

[harwood39]

I had one that made that noise. I broke the pressure plate into two pieces.

[harwood39]

^^^wow

i dont think its my pressure plate thats broken, i think its a worn bearing. But i could be wrong.

It also could be one of the cv axles. The inner joint can do the same thing after some reptative hard lanches.

[hondaking424]

could be from all the fast shifting u do if your aways racing

This is ecactly what it is, checked it out today. Its the inner CV joint. Time to buy new axles. Now i just need to find some aftermarket ones, stock ones SUCK.

[Guest]

usually cv joints just make a clicking noise...well my monte carlo just made clicking noises anywaysa.

[weshole]

That's if it's the outer joints. I was refering to the inner ones. They wont click on you very often but they will cause all sorts of other problems when the get bad and bind up on you as is the caes here I believe.

What would you know about stock axles sucking?

I make 540 whp on stock axles and have raced on the same pair for 3 years. Tufte races on stock axles making 260 whp and hasn't broke one yet either.

Don't blame the stock part.

[harwood39]

Ya, i need to get them by the 18th so i can have fun on the track day, dont want to be running on bad cv joints.

[harwood39]

so should i run remanufactured ones(limited lifetime warranty)--$60, new ones(LLT)--$80, or Performance ones(3-month)--$200? All prices are for one side only

[integra_gsr98]

Remans. You make 12 whp.
