Clutch Problems

[NIE70]

Hey guys,

hope someone can help me, when i bought my car back in May, the previous owners just replaced the clutch. Unfortunately it wasn't a heavy duty one =(

I didn't realise that you had to ride it in, and so as you would when buying a new car i was thrashing it.

Now, when in neutral and clutch is engaged, you can hear a faint clicking sound maybe about 5 times a second.

Also between changing gears its not very smooth and occasionally when cursing in say 4th gear and releasing the accelerator it makes a "cluck" sound as if two metal plates are hitting each other.

I suspect i have a warped friction plate or something.

anyone else have this problem, or anyone know what could be wrong?

Cheers,

Matt

Hey buddy,

Do you get these noises when accelerating in first on a low RPM and also when accelerating in 2nd on a low RPM?

I changed my clutch about 10months ago and with my previous clutch i also had the same problem. Im not too sure myself what the problem is

However ive been told its just general gearbox noises.

Yeah pretty much. It's at low rpm. I took it to the mechanic a couple weeks back and he said the clutch was fine. So it must be the gearbox or drive shaft or something.
