whittingham631 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I have just changed my clutch and flywheel (exedy clutch and JWT flywheel), took my car for a quick test run and can hear a strange rubbing type noise at the rear of the car, it only happens when i accelerate, not all the time, has any one got any idea what this could be??? thanks guys Quote
martinmac Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 There is a normal increase in mechanical noise with this change, I have the same set up. The best way I can describe is that it feels like something isnt turning freely. ESR warned me about this and 15k further on.... no probs Quote
whittingham631 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks martin, i was told there would be more mechanical noise but i just thought it would be more from the gearbox rather than what sounds like from the diff. Hopefully it is just because of the new set up, dont think i have the heart to start stripping anything else off it for a little while now. lol Quote
martinmac Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 It does sound like the usual issue, its a great set up though Quote
whittingham631 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 Thats a relief then, cant wait to go on a decent drive and see how it performs. Quote
Cragus Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Is it not because the flywheel is lighter than stock...? Quote
neodc Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 How is the new flywheel? i was thinking about doing those 2 mods you have. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 How is the new flywheel? i was thinking about doing those 2 mods you have. All in in stock and good to go. Take your pick. Any questions then please just ask. Cheers, Alex. Quote
whittingham631 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 How is the new flywheel? i was thinking about doing those 2 mods you have. i've only really drove a couple of miles at the min so not had a proper chance to find out, i've seen that quite alot of people on here have the same set up and they're happy with theirs.

P15UL T Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 My act clutch and flywheel make a light grinding noise at low speed when changing gear but as soon as the revs pick up it vanishies and pulls like a train i think this sort of thing is the norm when uprating the clutch and flywheel Quote

fatalus Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Which aftermarket flywheel is the closest to stock as far as noise is concerned btw? Heard that the Nismo one is the least "lightweight". Quote

Unfortunately, none of them really as what is making them heavy in the first place is removed in order to make them light! Best way to reduce the noise is to increase the idle RPM. Quote
