What can you do when the clutch is making noises or the clutch whistles? There are many different kinds of clutch noises. Whistling or whining from the clutch can be caused e.g. by the release bearing running off-center, an off-center input shaft, or a defective pilot bearing.
On the other hand, rattling noises may be due to load alterations if clutch disks are furnished with preliminary dampers. These noises do not impair the function or service life of the clutch.
Additional possible causes of the clutch making noises include installation of the wrong parts, or installation of the clutch disk in the wrong position. Clutch noises can also indicate a defect. The following questions are important for workshops: do the clutch noises occur during setting off or during disengaging? Do they occur when the clutch pedal is pressed, while pedaling, or in neutral position? Do noises occur when the clutch is engaged, while declutching, or at idle speed?
Check:
- Correct part installed?
- Correct installation position?
- Pilot bearing installed and not worn or defective?
- Condition (wear) of actuating system checked?
The problem of slipping clutches is very wide-ranging. For example, the clutch of a vehicle may slip only at high speeds. Other drivers complain that their clutch slips when the engine is cold, during starting, when setting off, or in first speed position. Another notices the clutch slipping through much of the period of acceleration, and yet another says his clutch slips after chip tuning. Clutch slipping symptoms and causes are just as varied as the symptoms. Even a brand new clutch can be slipping for a variety of reasons. Besides the clutch pressure plate and the clutch disk, clutch slipping causes can often be found in the release system. Additional causes include an incorrectly reworked flywheel or installation of the wrong clutch.
Check in case of clutch slipping:
- Release system wear, freedom of movement, adjustment?
- Correct parts for the vehicle?
- Flywheel correctly reworked?
- Contamination of the friction surfaces with lubricant?
- Deformation and warping of the friction surfaces on the flywheel and pressure plate?
