Recently fitted a twin plate clutch to my car (FM022SD), following the instructions carefully. Also fit a new release bearing.

On pressing the clutch, stationary, there is a very audible rattle, i know these clutch's are seen to be noisier than standard but this seems too much.

The clutch feels nice and smooth, no vibration can be felt through the pedal.

Has anyone else any experience of these clutch's and what levels of noise have you come across?

 

Have the same clutch, sounds like a bag of spanners when the clutch is pressed

 

Second that, can hear the spanners between gear changes too, although if i keep the clutch pressed rather than change gear the noise is only brief asthough it steadies itself.

How long you had yours?

 

About two years, when stationary with the clutch pressed it always rattles and does not vary with time.

Have not noticed it during gear changes, it may well do, but I have not heard it.

 

yep mine rattles, but I knew that before I bought it.

 

Is it audible inside the car when stationary?

 

oh yes

 

And briefly between gear changes?

 

yep, sounds like a dump valve between gear changes !

 

Glad to hear it, puts my mind at rest!

 

its simply the plates vibrating against each other when released..........all multi-plate clutches will be similiar...........

alyn

 

John, I've just had a P1 in with the same clutch, and boy was it noisy...

All normal apparently

 

You should try a OS Giken, they make the Exedy seem quiet!

 

makes me wonder why mine is so quiet

 

If your at the meet on sunday Neil you can compare the two?

Cheers all.

Rich, you must have a faulty one!

 

Neil..... my P1 is fitted with an HKS twin plate !

just to add Neil has done a gr8 job on my car

 

I have an O .S Giken twin plate , it rattles a bit ,have got used to it now,get a few strange looks at the traffic lights
