Heavy Clutch Causing Clutch Pedal Noise? Squeeking / Creeking

Hey guys,

I have an RB25DET w/ the RB25 tranny all swapped into my R32. Clutch is an ATS twin plate carbon.

A month ago my pedal started to make a squeeking noise every time i pressed the clutch down, and when it let it back up.

Last week, my clutch pedal bracket snapped while driving! I brought it to my guys' shop and the fixed it. Welded it back together and reinforced the s$%t out of it.

It was quite an easy fix, put it back in and cha-ching! It's working again.

A few days later, the squeeking noise came back. Now my main concern right now is that the squeeking noise is associated with the bracket breaking. Would that be true????

Or is the noise just from the stress of having a heavy twin plate ATS clutch??

[edit]

Oh, i forgot to mention i am not talking about the plates chattering.

It's actually noise coming from the pedal.

IE// if you have the car off and step on the clutch pedal, it would make a creeking / squeeking noise.

I also have the same problem but on my RB20DET gearbox. I believe it is one of the thrust or spigot bearings in the gearbox (mine is the spigot because it only creaks when u move the pedal) whereas if its when the clutch pedal is released and ur not touching it, then it is usually the thrust bearing. Not Sure tho....Any experts care to help me ouut here?

Not much help but I had he same prob. Mangled the crap out of the bracket and then bought another one and went crazy with the welder. Mine before and even after the bracket episode makes a squeaking sound.

Clutch is an Ogura twin with a very heavy pedal.

Same issue different sort of car, as bob said try wd40 on the pivot point that usually does help but does usually come back after wd40 wears out

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
