well, started getting this noise after a krank vent install, so i thought this is what caused it. its a very faint squeaky chatter. coming from the bay. and found out last night, that if i actually let off the clutch completely, it just about disapears. the second i barely touch the clutch, it comes right back. which, to my knowledge, all bad clutch parts make most of their noise when you take your foot off the clutch, i'm completely lost! checked the clutch fluid, and it is sorta dark. any help guys would be amazing, i'm hitting a 900 mile trip next week

also, i have NO issues with the clutch(slipping), and the car runs like a champ!

Possibly the throw out bearing. Not sure what this would have to do with the Krank vent install.

I've had issues with the krank vents giving me a rattle but it took place at idle with my clutch engaged or disengaged. I don't remember if I slightly pushed the pedal in it went away.

I ended up taking the krank vents out and had no problems since.

I would suggest taking them out and seeing if the problem persists. If it doesn't then I would look at the throw out bearing. If it dissapears then you have your answer.

The dark clutch fluid is most likely not the cause.

thats a great idea. i'll first take the vents out, than see what happens. like you said, it is almost like a rattle.hmmmm. okay, thanks for the input guys.

sure enough, pulled the vents out.....sound is gone!!! really disapointed. i'm not gonna leave them in and deal with this sound. oh well, trial and error. thanks for the help.

of course the engine makes tons of noises from the factory, i just think that the krank vents amplify some of them. i was amazed by the difference these things made though, valvetrain definitley was not as loud with the vents in, and i really didnt blow much smoke out the back with them in also. just cant deal with the noise

rashed even posted and said these vents made popping noises. just to let ya know . i have these in my car too.

thats what i read. but i couldnt describe it as a popping noise. it would be nice to get everyone in person with krank vents and compare the noise

i have a squeak. .but i could have sworn my squeak came from my belts. i poured some water over my belts with the motor running and it got worse.
