Stratty Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am getting a really load screach from my clutch every time I pull away from the line or change gear when slowing down. I have been told that it might be the release bearing. The bearing was changed when I had my NA-TT transplant done at the time a Competition Stage 4 clutch was put in. My question is, are there different release bearings for different transmissions or are they all the same? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratty Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Have you replaced yours yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topdog849 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 if you hear it with your foot depressed on the clutch then it's the release bearing, if u hear it with foot off the clutch it's the pilot bearing. but by the time you take everything apart you mine aswell get a clutch kit and replace everything. if you do remember to use white lithium grease and not wheel bearing grease because I learned the hard way that it will also make some whine screech noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Good advice. At the very least change the bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks guys. I will replace both the release and pilot bearings if need be. The screech is when I am releasing the clutch pedal. It doesnt screech when the foot is off the pedal. As per my original post, do I need a specific bearing for my transmission or are they all the same?

Chris Wilson Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Sounds like the spigot bearing in the back of the crank from the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Sounds like the spigot bearing in the back of the crank from the description. Are these expensive to replace? Also, the problem only seems to be happening with Competition clutches?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Not if the garage has the correct puller tool, no. They are only a few quid for the bearing. I am not familiar wit these clutches and stick with OE, my modded OE, and OS Giken clutches on Supras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 I was going to get another clutch to try and get away from this problem but was having trouble finding something that would suit my 5 speed manual NA-TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I am getting a really load screach from my clutch every time I pull away from the line or change gear when slowing down.

I'm getting the same noise with my spec 3 clutch! if you do remember to use white lithium grease and not wheel bearing grease because I learned the hard way that it will also make some whine screech noise Hmmm looks like I made the same mistake could this be what's causing the awful screeching noise? And is there away I could grease it up without removing the gearbox?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 If they are cerametallic plates they are probably knackered. They scream when the cintering is gone, or they are warped. Cerametallic clutches, and in particular puck types, are not ideal for road usage, they don't like being slipped at all. Clutch release bearings are sealed units, adding grease externally doesn't make any difference to their internal lubrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 My Competition Clutch Stage 5 squeals when I pull off and the release bearing is noisy. Only done 1200 miles on it but I'm going for a different clutch entirely now. Being a stage 5 4 puck clutch it's a real pig to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballsdeep Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry I should have been more clear, the clutch has only done 500miles. a couple of things worth mentioning when I fitted it.. The fidenza flywheel I didn't replace the insert which I probably should have, I used multi purpose bearing grease on the splines and release bearing but not on the clutch fork as Iv now read I should have done! Plus should have used white lithium grease? I only here it screech when pulling away in 1st gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Iv just refurb'd all four to find it wasn't the cause! What clutch are you going for? I chose the wrong clutch and it's now on its limit at 370ftlb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose the wrong clutch and it's now on its limit at 370ftlb RPS Max Clutch with Street Disc as found on MVP's website.. http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=780&SearchYN=N Although it won't be coming from MVP I doubt as it's too expensive to ship over here.
