I had my clutch changed to an exedy heave duty clutch about a year ago, and pretty much since then it's made a funny squeeking noise when disengaged (pedal not pressed). It is a bit intermittent, but is usually there. It sounds like a cricket and if I press lightly on the clutch pedal it gets louder and softer, so i can actually emulate cricket noises if I like.

Does anyone have this problem? i think i remember asking someone this before, and the reply was that this sometimes happens with the heavy duty ones. (Is this something to do with the pressure plate? I remember reading everyone saying the throwout bearing is the suspect one, but mine appears to be happening under diff circumstances..)

I don't think it's dangerous or anything, but it kinda defeats the purpose of looking good in a nice car, that sounds like cricket trying to mate!

i would think its your trust bearing mine did the same thing when foot is off the clutch it sounded weird i guess like a cricket ??? :laugh: but when i depressed my foot it stopped... if that is what you are referring to i would replace the bearing if it bothers you other wise dont worry about it.

leech_ & FSTR32 - the issue he's talking about is different..

when he pushes his foot in you can hear it squeak..

mine does it.. plus a lot of others cars..

do a search - someone else had a thread on this..

amuses me when i'm in traffic.. sounds like someone's rooting under my car on a squeaky bed.. ;)

if its a squauky noise you hear when u engage and disengage the clutch, then it could also be your clutch bracket. This is generaly because the spot weld on the bracket is becoming loose. i have allready had to get my bracket re welded and i think its going again.

yeaa my 32gtst had the same problem after 1 year of owning it, cricket noise huh , yea thats a good wat of describing it as i dunno how to describe it to mechanics haha, i said sounded like a disc spinning. If i were to fix it , how much would it cost ?

Have to be careful not to spray it all over the clutch plate..Any liquid lubricant isnt good for a clutch.. Id have to say its got somthing to do with you throwout/thrust bearing.. A worn bearing can make some pretty strange noises. Either that or is a bearing in the gearbox..

Edited by Godzilla32

could be thrust bearing, or it could be a real cricket. Go to a pet store and buy some spiders, preferably a huntsman style and put them in various locations on the car. Also works well for car security.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
