I recently got the clutch in my R33 replaced with a brand new one
after it was fitted it works great but now the clutch makes a real ratteling/grinding noise taking off at low rpm (1st gear).
i can ride the clutch on take off and this does not happen, the clutch that was put in was meant to be a stock R33 clutch
this has not afected the car,


can anyone help me out with ideas

You may have got grease or oil on the friction material on the clutch.
If it shudders a little on take off around the friction point.

Or the teeth on the presure plate are cactus.

Or the thrust bearing is rooted (you will hear noises when the foot is off the clutch and it goes away when you put the clutch in).

In any case its take off the f'n'gear box again for you.

:D

I noticed my new twin plate rattles when sitting at the lights. Another guy told me that this was normal. :rolleyes: I dunno

yer mine is s stock clutch and new
but it was only after being put in it was ratteling
and it does make a noise when the clutch is out

It shouldn't be making any noise in or out on a stock. A twin plate will rattle with the clutch engaged (pedal to the floor)....if you put it in neutral and let up...it should stop.
I was getting a grinding noise...I snapped off my engaging fork....replaced the fork and I'm good to go.

i think mine is the throw out bearing
anyone know a good place to get it done in the brissie area
