Clutch noise


Recommended Posts

My car started making a mild chirping/squeaking noise that I thought was a belt, but I noticed today that it stops when I rest my foot on the clutch. Just lightly pressing on it. The closest thread I could find in a search was from the "new gen" board. Someone mentioned that an adjustment might take care of it.

Has anyone had this problem with their EA82?:confused:

YES.

 

Mine did the exact same thing after it had a new clutch put in about 20,000 miles ago. It's the throwout bearing just barely making contact and turning a little bit. I screwed with this for a really long time before finally fixing it (well, making the noise stop at least, I suspect the root cause is still there and is probably improper lubrication). I ended up running the clutch cable tension quite loose and putting a stronger return spring on the clutch fork. That brings the TO bearing completely out of contact and stops the noise.
