hey ppls

in the last few weeks ive noticed when i take my foot off/put my foot on the clutch it makes a loud squeeking noise..

At first i sprayed some WD40 stuff on the spring thingy that connects to the clutch pedal and all the parts that go along with it inside the car.. That fixed the problem completely for a day or 2.

Then it came back so i decided to carefull spray grease on the diff areas to see exactly what was making the squeeking noise... ive ended up spraying everything again in heaps of WD40 stuff and its stll making the noise :) Im pretty sure its coming from outside the car now.

i did a search for 'squeek' and 'squeak' :) but didnt come up with any results for the clutch, so any help would be great pls cause im not in the mood to pay a workshop to fix the problem just yet as i had a new clutch put in recently about 2 months ago, and i've only done like 1500km or so if that makes any differance... But like i said the noise only started happening the last couple of weeks.

I barely evan drive my car these days but seem to be getting more issues then when i used to drive it heaps :)

also i dont no if this is relevant but since i had my new clutch installed (clutch, pressure plate, and bearing) its had this rattling noise which stops when the clutch is pressed. A few people have told me its the clutch fork rattling due to the clutch not being installed 1000% correctly or something ?

i did what it said though and lubed up the clutch fork with some grease on a stick to get it in there real good... didnt do squat however :)

I sprayed under the dash about 5 times... a month apart each time... now it's been OK for 3 months... so I dunno... it was definately under the dash for me.

As for the rattle... mine does it. I heard that it means "your box is old and worn". lol. I've had a new clutch, carrier bearing, carrier, spigot, pivot blah blah blah... all changed.

Yer... I was using silicone spray, which should stay there longer, but I really think it needs grease.

I didn't know exactly where it was coming from, so I didn't grease anything up.

If I could push the clutch with my hand, I could have probably pinpointed the noise with my head under the dash or something. Even if you drop the clutch slave cylinder off the box, I don't think you would get the noise, because it seems to need load on the pedal to do it.

hmm i just put like handfuls and handfuls on grease everywhere that could be making the noise..still made the noise... went for a 20 min drive... cursed for a bit cause i figured it still wasnt fixed... turned down the radio and the squeek seems to have gone :)

Im sure it will no doubt be back in the next 15 mins but im pleased for now atleast :)

LOL... well, I think it's better if you can get someone sitting in the passenger seat to push the pedal for you (over the centre console, so they're not in your way), while your head and hand is under the dash greasing up the clutch-rod and spring.

I sprayed on the last occasion, and then kept pumping the clutch about 20 times. It went away.

The thing I found that works really well is Motorcycle Chain Lube. Get one of those little extention tube things ( that usually are stuck in the lid of the degreaser cans ) to get some reach. It sprays on as a foam, and then quickly liquifies and runs into all the little nooks and crannys. Once it soaks in, give it a bit more and then run the pedal through it's paces.

WARNING !! Chain Lube is mega sticky stuff ( has to be to stay on a bike chain at a zillion revs ) so put some old towels all around the footwell area so none gets on your carpet and cover your pedal pads.

i know my squeak is coming from either the pivot bolt (in the gearbox) or the slave cylinder. been too lazy to fix it. i know its definately under the car as its much louder in maccas drive thru. another cause can be the spring on the clutch fork where it goes onto the throw out bearing.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
