gazzi123 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 just need some advice: recently bought 97 5speed NA supra. When clutch is compressed on idle + during gear changes clicking/tick stops. Once clutch released in neutral or gear change clicking starts and is getting louder? cheers All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 bump I have the same, it sounds like the Wheel of Fortune with the Clacker Asked loads of times, and nobody seems to know what it may be. I have a carbonetic twin/Triple Clutch But Mine started off ticking as you described but it iwas intermitant, now it is more costant and even on Idle sometimes I find it goes away during wet weather and is more pronounced in humid/hot weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I've had 3 different NA gearboxes now and tried numerous clutches (stock & aftermarket) and i've always had this noise when the clutch is not pressed in. I used to think it was the release bearing/ pilot bearing but changing these didn't stop it either. It must be a bearing in the actual box itself. I guess it's just one of those things . I'm looking forward to getting my 6spd box fitted so i don't have to hear it anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 What clutch/flywheel is fitted? Does it rattle at idle in neutral and go quiet when you depress the clutch pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) This is only based on a similar problem on a Fiesta, but on that it is the clutch release bearing. Consensus seems to be that its not a serious issue, but I don't know if the same applies for a Supra. Edit: Just read Dr Doom's post. I'm too slow!

Jellybean Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I dont experiance any Slippage but the Clutch is getting noisier and the strange clicking noise as time goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzi123 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 What clutch/flywheel is fitted? Does it rattle at idle in neutral and go quiet when you depress the clutch pedal? its a standatd clutch/flywheel on 97NA- once warmed put for 2/3minutes on drive (as alwaysdo) it starts making noise. it stops as soon as compress clutch both in neutral + whilst changing gear. once clutch released or after changing gears (clutch pedal fully released) it starts again. in neutral after warmed up - if you give it slight more revs sound gets louder. Any help be appreciated cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Could it not just be a knackerd release bearing? Mine has gone again after just 500 miles but it squeaks rather than clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Could it not just be a knackerd release bearing? If it's the same problem i was having then no. I replaced the release bearing and the pilot bearing and it made no difference. I was told by a mechanic that it was likely to be the main shaft bearing inside the gearbox. Does the noise go away if you push the clutch in a little bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
