I just got my stook back after two days of being in the shop getting TSB-054 done (noisy clutch). All I can say is WOW! There is no noise in any RPM range. The clutch grabs better than ever and the car just "feels right".

As Greg Stevens says - it makes me do this

Prior to the TSB the clutch rattled like heck, so much so that I can hear all the melodic sounds of the engine and am taken back to the day I bought it.

I strongly recommend anyone who is experienceing the rattle have the TSB done immediately. That noise takes away from the car so much so I was actually embarassed to drive it in traffic.

For those wondering, "why two days?", it was the first time they had done this operation as the dealer only sold 4 stooks last year. I wasn't worried about their lack of experience because the technician working on my car, John, built and runs two drag cars and really takes care of my ride. I know he spent the extra time doing it "right".

I also slapped two new S02's on while it was there.

Again, I highly recommend getting this service done.

Mine took 2 days and was my dealer's first as well, and my response after getting it back was exactly like yours. WOW!

I can happily report that after 3 more thousand miles, including some track time, my clutch still feels and sounds great! Congrats on the new-again-feeling car!

 

My clutch was also noisy from day one, which also happens to be the same day I got my first of many 1-2 grinds. When I brought my car in, it was suspected that it was a possible heat shield vibration.

When the tranny TSB was done last Fall, they also replaced the clutch. I agree that the car is now perfect and the clutch take up is dead on.

Also, I never would have believed that this car could be so "relatively" quiet.

 

I completely agree the TSBs make driving the car a lot more fun.

Don't forget to get a 4-wheel alignment done w/ the TSBs -- a few of us have had to go back and do this after the service bulletins have been done because of off-center steering wheels etc. The dealership should throw it in.

 

Sorry to ask, but what is the TSB. What I noticed on my car is when im going to press the clutch in and put in first, the car makes a loud thump, then the gear goes in....

 

Send me all the bulletins on this car please......

 

Nup, go get 'em ya self:

Technical Service Bulletin

 

Miami,

The TSB repairs a rattling noise which sounds like a heat-sheild broke loose. Don't know about a clunk noise.

It gets really noticable between 3000 and 4000 rpms, especially when decelerating with the car in gear.

The service bulletin text is on s2ki.com as AusS2000 said.

 

not sure if i hav th symptoms...will check tomorrow when driving...did the dealership give you any flack? do they give you a rental car while your car is in service? think i might take mine in....
