Chirping On Take Off?

[bored33]

guys,

recently my car has been making chirping sounds everytime i take off in first gear or if i take off in second it sometimes chirps. so far the only way i can escape this annoying sound is buy tapping the accelerator while engaging the first gear. i was running 225s and thought i did not have enough traction so i went wider to 245s (hankook rs2) but still chirps. anyone know why it could be chirping?

i do have a brass button clutch if this helps any - the sound started after this installation but after a few months so i could not be sure if this was my problem.

taking off in second? and still chirping. as above me suspects your giving it too much revs.

Dont use so many revs and go easier on the clutch....

hey mate know ur problem... i got a brass button clutch in mine... when an unco drives it they chirp up and down gears 1st, second, 3rd, 4th.... its not good for your driveline and puts extra strain on everything..... allow for the clutch because they bite really hard..... be softer with your left foot and take your time... take off with low revves and correct your gear changes... u will accustom to the brass button soon just take time and care and allow for it.

try not to ride it either otherwise it will chew out quick

i just put a exedy 3puk clutch in and there not much room to ride it u prety much hav to dump it

i dont launch it though. when i get off in first gear it revs about 1k and no higher. i have to take off as if the revs in idle or even less and that is not easy unless i tap the accelerator. also it has only happend a few months after i changed clutch driving it exactly the same way so i never had this problem before. if it is the clutch then i guess i can wait till friction occurs and then accelerate. need to learn how to drive manual again!

My girlfriends car does this actually. Its a high pitched squeak, almost sounds like your starting to do a burnout each time you take off?

After some troubleshooting we have basically put it down to a stuffed thrust bearing OR the shaft that the bearing sits on being dry (ie the people who replaced the clutch didnt grease it).

We think this because if you squirt some wd40/silicone spray in through the clutch fork hole and aim it at the input shaft then the noise will go away for a day or so.

Not a massive problem but its a box off job to fix properly. None of the spray on shit weve tried seems to hang around long.

NEW CLUTCH eahy...

LOL! You probley got lazy and got use to how the old clutch works. With new clutch, its very "Catchy" friction point hits as soon as you lit ya left foot up. You gota re-work your left foot and practice getting a good control over it.

I know cuz I switch back to a Nissan GTR single plate and the thing catches compared to my HKS Twin Plate which was total burnt.

The R33 subframe does tend to axle tramp bad on hard accel.I made a thread on this ages ago.I put solid alloy subfrome collars in,problem solved.
