Clutch Is Noisy

[Topaz]

Do clutches come loose or something? ..... yeah

I have a distinct noise coming from my gearbox when the clutch is engaged. When I put my foot on the clutch pedal it stops.

Is it possible that a spring is not as tight as it should be? Whats involved with getting a shop to look into this?

It's inside a separate area to the gears so no fluid needs to be dropped right?

Clutch is not standard, it's a NISMO twin plate.

Sounds more like the Gearbox or Thrust bearing?

maybe RELEASE BEARING?

Are you from the internet or something?

What is it doing? It's a twin plate, so that's quite possibly your problem. When the clutch is pressed in or at low RMP (around 2k or lower) it rattles/grinds? My twin plate does the same, thought it was release bearing but it didn't make sense cos the release bearing is noise when the clutch is engaged.

And if your clutch came loose... I'd shoot your mechanic. I also doubt you could drive it!

+1 for the Thrust Bearing!

[XxNinjaxX]

Thrust Bearing (most likely, mines noisey its like a sqeaky noise yeah?)

Input Shaft Bearing (unlikely)

Spiggot Bearing (unlikely)

Twin Plate Noise (could be)

thats all ive got

Reread the post, thrust bearing for sure. Unfortunately that's a gearbox out job.

i go with thrust bearing, but i would not bother taking the box out to fix it as it is a known problem and like everything nissan it will make noise but last forever

Nope, clunky. Like something has come loose

He said noise goes away once he puts foot down so wont be thrust/release bearing ..

Yes, noise goes when clutch is 'disengaged'

I guess I'll just have to book it in and have the gearbox out to see whats wrong.

Found some pretty pictures of bearings here too:
