Xtreme clutch help *advice please* r33 gtst s2

Feels like it's a box out affair now.

Nearly feels like the throw out bearing has been installed backwards (hence the noise you've mentioned). A single disc clutch should not make any rattling noises at all.

Could be onto something there

Thank you for all the help guys, since I backed the pedal stopper off a bit and made sure there was a bit of free play at the top and it's driving a lot smoother and gears are selecting without hassle. It must have been more adjustment needed like a few suggested. After the clutch has bedded in a bit I'll check it again. 

I sent the videos with the sound to ACS and they said this:

"What you are experiencing is harmonic noise and nothing to do with the bearing. The Australian engineers have said it sounds like gear noise/gearshift rattle
This can happen  on some vehicles and depends on the condition of everything else. There may  be some worn  bushes in the linkage which could be cured by replacing them or some gear rattle which may be 'dampened' with some tougher gearbox oil.

well, massive thumbs up to ACS for taking the time and getting the right people to look/listen to it. Goes to show local support is worth it's weight when you have an issue.

Yes mate I'm happy with their response to my queries, it's difficult to diagnose obviously without seeing the car in person. They allowed me to get in contact to pass onto engineers.

It made sense to me afterwards to take the clutch pedal pin out, let it take the pressure off the rod which moved out slightly, and adjust from there, with a bit of play in the pedal before engagement. 

Obviously I'm going to go normally until everything is bedded in, I treat all my cars with respect anyway. 

Cheers lads, this forum is a good community, hardly anyone replies in the UK forums like they used to do. 

It's much appreciated

Everyone too busy going to get pissed at the pubs and hitting music festivals.

My Aussie mates living there doing just that lol.

[Almera96gtin15]

Yeah lol probably. 

Can I just ask if anyone knows obviously. 

With the adjustment on the pedal rod maxxed out, will it cause any problems with anything? (picture on page 1)

I made sure the pedal had a bit of play before it moved the rod also. 

I suppose I could go back a bit and see if the gears still change smoothly, 

What do you reckon?
