Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 i have a supra with a trd clutch and lightened flywheel but it rattles about on idle until i raise the revs, the clutch is not slipping at all, it also rattles when it is been driven until you hit high revs. is this common or is my release bearing knacked, i ask as i have been told this is common on uprated clutches as theses clutches have no springs. i just dont like the noise and want to advice my buyer correctly and give him the correct info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'm pretty sure this is common with lightned flywheels, normally noisey at idle and crawling speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Its common, I had the same problem and went back to the stock flywheel because I could not bare with it. Raising the idle is a method of making the noise by spinning parts fast enought to make the centrefugal force on the parts that rattle stop.

Guest Terry S Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 If it is a TRD twin it is very common mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I originally had a TRD twin plate clutch/flywheel fitted 3-4 years ago, it grinded when engaged and rattled a lot at tickover. A few months ago I had new friction plates, housing and bearing replaced and it is now almost as quiet as a stock clutch, I would describe the rattle at tickover as slight. I suspect the garage that fitted my first clutch did a crap install. If it is rattling excessively could be that new bearing may help IMO.

Chris Wilson Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 A none dual mass flywheel (lightweight flywheel) will cause transmission noise. It's the flywheel though, not the clutch. A single plate TRD clutch on a stock dual mass flywheel is rattle free. This is why Toyota fitted a heavy and expensive dual mass flywheel as stock, to kill transmission rattles.....

Guest rainbow Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I have a 93 NA, just had a new clutch put in and the stock flywheel resurfaced, now the car rattles anywhere between 1800-2200 rmps, is this the same deal? Normal because the flywheel's been "lightened"? . . . Should I leave it this way or get a new flywheel, the rattling drives me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Before you explode with indignation, a stock clutch and flywheel setup should not rattle If it does, you have a problem. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
