  • Strange noise when releasing clutch

    Riddle me this...

    From time to time, while I'm releasing my clutch to accelerate, I get this metallic noise that almost sounds like an exhaust pipe dragging the ground. To date, however, there's nothing dragging the ground.

    Any ideas?

      if its a stock clutch it could be chatter, or, you have an exhaust rattle on the underbody.

        It's not an exhaust rattle. Chatter? What exactly is that and what fixes it?

          thats basically when the clutch isnt fully engaging the flywheel.

          you need to put a clutch in it that isnt known for chatter....ie a centerforce or zoom clutch

            if the clutch isnt fully engaging, you would feel somewhat of a shaking on acceleration, wouldnt you?

              depends. if it wasn't fully engaging because of a faulty pressure plate the clutch would slip during accel, but not shake. it would shake if the clutch wasn't fully disengaging the flywheel when you engage the pedal. that's a simple fix though usually. but that's not what i'm saying is wrong.

              clutch chatter is when the clutch isnt fully engaging, or seating to the flywheel completely.

              with bone still running on a stock clutch, it's likely to be chattering.

                You may have just answered my question, but this morning I was getting this noise while sitting in neutral with my foot off the clutch. Sound like chatter? Could a bad throughout bearing have something to do with this?

                  quite possible. depends on how loud it is though.

                    It literally sounds like I'm dragging my exhaust pipe at about 15 MPH. At first, I thought I was bottoming out on a speed bump, but that wasn't the case.
