rhysc1986 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 when i pull off in 1st it sounds like the clutch is grinding, it sounds terrible. it also grabs really late which makes it hard to do hill starts. every other gear change is fine. guy i bought car off said it was aftermarket clutch but i figure he bullshiting coz clutch is actually f**ked. just wondering this grinding noise wouldnt be something f**king something else would it? figure i wait for clutch to fully go b4 replacing but hate for this to be f**king something else.

Trozzle Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 remotely possibly that this is being caused by 2 things: Clutch adjustment (pedal and possibly slave cylinder), as well as the clutch might actually sound like that. I know some single plate clutches sound like shit in reverse, and some multi-plates sound horrible all round.

SargeRX8 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 There is a chance the spring is broken in your master. Mine broke, could hardly get in and out of first. Best to diagnose everything outside before you pull the box out.

Trozzle Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Master cylinder is right on the other side of the firewall from the clutch pedal. It's where you put the fluid.

ADDSKI Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Question Are your Synchros ok or worn? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/361537-clutch-grinding/#findComment-7488325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
89CAL Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sounds like it happend when the car is already in gear when letting clutch out (correct me if im wrong) so it wont be synchros When you say it grabs late, you mean in the pedal travel? Check the pedal box hasnt snapped a weld. Mine did this one day and it felt really odd to drive, found the problem then piled some weld on the pedal box and good as new now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/361537-clutch-grinding/#findComment-7488567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADDSKI Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes 89CAL you are correct......Lol i merely speed over conversation and perhaps my current 6 sp gearbox issues (synchros) are plagueing my mind.
