Installed ACT PP + OEM everything else. Something's not right. EDIT: success!
The original clutch in my 07 had been making tons of rattling noise lately so decided it's time for a clutch job.
Over the weekend friend and I installed the same combo that's been recommended here over any over again: ACT pressure plate (H021), OEM friction plate, OEM AP1 flywheel, OEM throw out bearing and also OEM clutch master cylinder. Install went smoothly but right away these issues below caught my attention after starting the car: - There seems to be a constant noise coming from bell housing when the clutch pedal is in the up position and goes away when pedal is depressed. It's a "rotating" sound that is audible (although faint) outside the car over the sound of cold start engine. Inside the car it is much more noticeable with windows up and without the shifter boot. With shifter boot installed it is definitely quieter but can still be heard.
Here is a video from inside of the car looking into the shifter (in neutral) without boot:
- The piston on the clutch slave cylinder is constantly pushed against the shifter fork when clutch pedal is in the up position.
- Clutch engagement point is about 1/2" to 1" from the floor.
I figured I should probably first try to ensure there is enough clearance between slave cylinder and shifter fork before dealing with the low engagement point and the noise. However, I'm not sure how to adjust for/increase piston clearance and the clutch master cylinder linkage nut adjustment directions seem to contradict issue #2 and #3 above.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
