NIALLRUSSELL_HO Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Have my tt j-spec supra a few days and have a question regarding the clutch. It feels heavier than normal and its very grabby with a tiny biting point.really hard get used to.Makes really loud noises especially in reverse and below 2000rpm.the noise seems to be coming from the gearbox.I consider myself a competent driver and find the clutch hard to use. My question is: Is this an uprated racing clutch.Car came from japan so i dont know.Is there any way to find out what type.where do i look. thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Almost certainly its an uprated unit (or completely knackered!). Loud rattling noises on idle and sub 2k rpm is a sure sign of a lightweight flywheel. The stock clutch isn't light, but no one could call it heavy. Sounds like an uprated pressure plate, which means a non standard clutch is likely. Remove the inspection plate and have a quick look at whats in there, might give a few clues (assuming you know what you're looking for!). Edited to add: There's no way to tell for sure whats in there without getting the box off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Aren't 'paddle' clutches notoriously 'grabby' with tiny biting points ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
