I have a say.. 'pulsing vibration' in the pedal until the clutch is disengaged

(moving the pedal in and out you can feel it both ways)

and a ticker/rattle from the box that tends to come and go at times, more noticeable when its cold and goes away more when warm.

Does someone know what these mean?

thankkss.

Is the pulsing vibration there when the engine is stopped as well as running or just one or the other?

It is likely that you either have a broken spring in the clutch plate or diaphram. If the fingers of the clutch cover are uneven, then as the clutch rotates it will be moving the release bearing over the high/low spot on the fingers and hydraulic pulse the slave cylinder up to the master and through the pedal as the recovery port is blocked when the pedal is depressed.

I would check the usual stuff like pivots and slave cylinder first but I'm pretty sure your gearbox is going to need to come out :(

rather than start a new topic i figure id post here. i have the same problem in my r34, its not bad but just enough to annoy me. i replaced the standard clutch with an npc recently so hoping its not a broken spring, but the input shaft did have 0.8mm of lateral movement due to a worn input shaft bearing i believe. is it possible that the movement of the input shaft is causing my vibration, or is it still likely to be something in the clutch broken??

did you machine the flywheel?

dont always jump to something major broke.

try thinking of more simple explanations.

if the flywheel was machined, then start looking at the dampening springs in the clutch plate, and go from there.

yea i did machine the flywheel, ive got an npc heavy duty organic, so im assuming it has stiffer springs?? and that you would feel more vibration over softer springs right? (i know its trivial, but it makes sense in my head :P) i was really just wondering if the play in the input shaft would be causing my vibration. same idea as the broken spring that as it rotates it causes pluses through the slave which you'd feel in the pedal

ive got a spigot bush, but i replaced that as well. also new thrust bearing that came with the clutch. ive also got vibration in the gear lever that i assumed was from the input shaft bearing, hence why i thought it might also be causing the vibration in the clutch.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
