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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
