Replacement Clutch Noise

[Crazyduck]

Hey everyone.

I finally got around to finish putting my new clutch in last night and it's got a weird noise I need help with. It's like a higher pitch grinding like a loaded bearing or rusty bearing would make.

I've replaced the flywheel and clutch assembly, only issue being that when we put the gearbox back in it wouldn't push by hand against the motor. It was about 2cm away and we chose to bolt it up slowly and see if it was the lugs holding it back. It went together no worries until I started the motor.

The noise gets louder when I press on the clutch pedal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like you put the throwout bearing on back to front

I'm 90% sure I put it on correctly. I put it on the same way the old one came off and that assembly didn't make this noise, but I'm not perfect, maybe it is wrong

I second that, that noise is from the throw bearing being put in back to front... when you take off the box again, worthwhile replacing the bearing (again) if was originally insert backwards...

here's a pic I googled of how it should sit..

Ok no worries Thanks. I ran out of time so I'm having a shop look at it. No soubrette if it's that I'll hear all about it haha

Thanks for the help I'll update what it is after Thursday.

Turns out we put the clutch and gearbox back together perfectly but I was supplied a gtr flywheel in the kit which was just touching the metal plate at the rear of the engine. (not sure what it's called)

Big thanks to the guys at C-red in Perth for their great service.
