Guest steve hall Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hi,looking for some help.I got a 6speed TT import 1993, it's got a rattle in the gearbox under strain with very low revs pulling away in 2nd/3rd from a slow rolling start.Gearbox centre at Yarmouth has it apart and can't seem to find anything wrong.It seems to have a twin plated clutch,but not a dual mass flywheel would this be correct.He said the noise sounds like it's coming from the clutch, they look like bronze metal plates in centre plate( uprated clutches prehaps?).I asked if they looked worn he said yes,but he didn't know how much meat they have to start with,since he hasn't had a 6 speed before with AM clutch,anybody knows?,don't want to replace good clutch. Thanks Steve any help will be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I work with a guy called Steve Hall, you'd better not be him Welcome anyway The noise is probably coming from the flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve any help will be much appreciated I had a noise coming from mine, took it to a garage they stripped it and found nothing....then i read this "my 6-speed transmission makes a rattling sound at low speeds – should i worry? all supra 6-speeds seem to make that sound, which has been likened to shaking a bunch of ball bearings around in a coffee can. it is not a cause for alarm - all the 6-speeds make the sound. it is the flywheel damping springs rattling, not the design of the transmission dogs. if your transmission shifts smoothly and doesn't pop out of gear, don't worry about it. " I wish i'd have read it first as they charged me £350 for looking at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBhp Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 You got nothing to worry about, it's the twin plates (Great for big power) which are common for rattle, especially on low revs as you pulling away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I fitted a new flywheel which cured mine for a about 1 week. After the first quick launch it started again and now its awful once more. There has got to be a market for a flywheel with an uprated set of springs inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steve hall Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks guys,Does a uprated clutch start life with the same amount of meat as standard clutches,the clutch look a bit low but they don't slip.Should i bother to change now the box is out.

adi2009 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 unless you are plannin to go on serious power dont think you will need an uprated clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
