clutch??

[pegliobaglio]

Not sure if this a problem with the clutch,or whether the car has an uprated clutch maybe.
Have noticed since i have had the diff changed ,and my 2 way is no longer clunking away,that when the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor there is a light whirring noise,and when i am changing gears,and whe i come off the gas that here is a clunking noise coming from the car. I know it's hard to tell without being able to hear it yourself ,but are these noises something associated with a uprated clutch??
Cheers for any info guys..

The whirring noise is probably your clutch release bearing just geting a bit old and less grease packed- nothing to worry about. And the clunking noise is more than likely the general diff/drivetrain noise being transmitted to the body due to you having the locking collars fitted

Top man! Well that's all that sorted then,thanks for the info,thought I was gonna have another bill on the way lol

locking collars are a great mod for the money, but will transmit more noise as craig said. polybushing the subframe gives the best balance of stiffness vs noise. this is what i am going to fit.

Yeah. The massive advantage of collars is they are so easy to fit - half an hour apposed to I guess around a day fitting the bushes. They lock the subframe solid to the body (hence the added noise), so it is effectively like having alloy bushes.

I see,never thought of polybushes ,did this off the cuff as they were already working on the car and had them in stock,has made a big difference and now I know its just a noise and nothing serious its not a problem was just a bit worried is all. There was a lot of movement in the bushes so I think it was a good idea, want to get full set of polybushes in the future as I had powerflex bushes on my old car and it made a huge difference so may change these bushes then too ,but until then these should do fine,cheers for the info guys!:thumbs:

lol mine has been whirring quietly a year ago... now everyone stares when I start her or stood at traffic lights... she's whirring/rattling like a biatch!!!

Then there's the clunk when I engage first gear, clunking from the uprated box mount and clunking from the locking collars due to diff as Craig says... LOVE IT

Love it,this is no where near as bad as my 2 way ,people used to look at my car like it was broken it was well funny!!!! in comparison to that its quiet as a mouse now!!!
