Clutch Shudder And Tailshaft Center Bearing

I fitted a cushion ceramic button clutch and from day one it 's had a shudder.

It's accompanied by a thud under the car.

I've been told a slight shudder is normal but the clutch builder has driven my car and said there is something wrong.

My mechanic has checked my engine mounts and rear cradle bushes and nothing is broken.

The only thing we can think of that could be causing it is the tailshaft centerbearing rubber mount but it too seems to be in good condition.

Would a one piece tailshaft fix it or does the problem lie elsewhere?

Has anyone else had these issues?

That sounds very similar to what is happening with my GTR R32 at the moment. Hard to locate the noise, but I think it might be coming from the rear cradle bushes.

Would appreciate it if you could let me know how you go... sorry I cant help!

With thanks,

Danni

got the same problem. does it alot when reversing or taking off up a hill.

i done a manual conversion and put in a extreme clutch. seems to make a bit of axle tramp when putting the power down too. i put it down to the clutch grabbing harder and faster causing a pulse (like a ripple) down the tailshaft.

i have and had these problems, first the clutch i got a full brass button in/out and the shutter is just normal just the flywheel is warped a little bit not a big problem is normal so dont stress, ive had my cluch for over a yr and sometmes it still shutters but just ride it a bit more, second if the center bearings a gone the car vibrates when at about 80 or 90kph but mine was vibrating at these speed and it was the rear rubber seal of the tailsharft is twisted not the center bearing or universals

cheers

Yes, mine is particularly bad reversing or trying to take off gently up a hill.

My centerbearing rubber appears to be in excellent condition but it still feels as though the tailshaft kicks with each shudder.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
