SwissZ Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Hi all Had my roadster for 2 weeks now and loving every minute of it execpt for one thing thats concerning me a little. As the subject name says, I'm getting a kind of clack noise when I release the clutch pedal regardless of whether theres a gear in or not. I took it back to the dealer who told me it's normal. Does this sound normal to you more experienced Z drivers? Cheers Mark Quote
Removed Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 think mine does it too, although I'm having difficulties visualising the clack sound Quote
SwissZ Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks guys, that puts my mind at rest. Gotta love these forums, I can now sleep at night again Quote
rylattspad Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 yep had mine a month and mine makes the "clack" too at least its not just mine Quote
TW_100 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Does it do it when letting clutch up - mine seems to make a whirring noise when stood still - then when I push pedal down it stops - then clack on way up and whirring begins again - can't tell when on move just when stood still - mate of mine said realease bearing s - maybe ??!!

Yup, I've since discovered thats exactly what it's doing. It also makes a worrying vibrating noise when you change gear at over 4,500 revs Hadn't noticed that before as I was taking care running it in. Your mate's right. Mines going in tomorow to have the release bearing changed. Not exactly happy about it, but what can you do. Car's not even a month old! Quote
l33r0y Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 Of the two Zeds I've driven, it does this. I'm certain its normal. Quote
SwissZ Posted May 30, 2006 Author Posted May 30, 2006 Nah, if you heard the noise, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't think it was normal. The noise it makes when changing gear at high revs is especially worrying. I've driven 3 Zs so far and the other 2 were fine. The mechanic confirmed straight away something was wrong. I'll let you know if the bearing change sorts it. It'll be in for 2 days as apparently, the entire gearbox has to come out Quote
mike@mjpauto Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Pretty sad mechanics if they take two days to remove a gearbox, replace a release bearing and put it back. My guy could do that in less than a day on his own... Quote

stevie_350z Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 have you noticed a creak when you accelerate/decelerate? Nowt to do with clutch, but my "creak" is pissing me off! Quote
