Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

I just have taken the old one in, with the weights.
The weights were not the problem in the end.
I thought they touch the bell housing, but they do not.
See my picture :-)
Had the same idea as...

Flywheel is cast, ring gear is iron.

Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

Hi all,
I found the problem.
Guess what it was in the end...?

So it rubbed...

Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

Hi all, thanks again for your ideas and hints.
I am happy it is not the crankshaft play - puuh.

Thanks again..

Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

I forgot to let you know my newest info.
I let the car idle on my lift and my small son pressed the clutch. You even hear the scratching and the decrease of rpm, caused by the force it takes.......

Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches

Re: Same Clutch noise problem after third assembly and a lot of archive searches
